"Now's the part where I tell you I failed and had to raise myself from the dead. But I didn't."
Mellanie PageIt started with one CEU.
Several years ago I (literally) sweat over the creation of my first CEU. It was packed with valuable content, actionable takeaways, and relatable examples.
And yet, despite how much time and energy I put into it, I delayed launching for months. Beyond a major lack of technical knowledge (that sucker got posted on YouTube and sold through Venmo), I was also deathly afraid of visibility and failure.
Everything I had accomplished in my clinical career, I did the traditional way. Went to school. Earned my degree. Accrued my hours. Passed the Boards. Got promoted to every job imaginable in the clinical space. I even went back to school to get my MBA. That's a whole other story.
But I still felt like I was meant for more. The entrepreneur in me could not rest until I pursued something bigger. So I did. Scared. Embarrassed. Brave.
I woke up to $1K in sales on launch day. And I kept going. I learned, built, scaled, and discovered something that shifted a core belief.
