Transcripts

Sumantha:

I've worked with a lot of educators over the years, and there's one thing that consistently shows up.

Sumantha:

The people who see the biggest shifts aren't always the ones with the best strategies.

Sumantha:

They're the ones who have worked on their mindset.

Sumantha:

Strategy, techniques, action – all of it's really important, but mindset is what helps you implement it.

Sumantha:

It's what helps you bounce back when something doesn't work.

Sumantha:

It's what helps you try new things, raise your prices, and stand out authentically.

Sumantha:

You can have the best sales funnel in the world, but if you don't believe in yourself, if you don't believe in your offer, you won't sell it confidently.

Sumantha:

You can have the best content plan, but if you are afraid to show up, it won't land.

Sumantha:

So if you feel a little bit stuck, start here.

Sumantha:

Start with your beliefs, your self-talk, your confidence.

Sumantha:

Because strategy comes second.

Sumantha:

Mindset comes first.
