In this episode:

Mitch wraps up his series on getting serious about using your creativity to generate income and talks about the different types of resources you can use to move towards your goal.

Having a goal of 12 months into the future, while also looking back at how you have performed in the past 12 months gives you a good idea of where you are right now... and wherever that is, is perfectly fine!

The most important part is being honest with yourself so you can move forward and get to where you want to be in the most direct way possible.

The four options that you have are:

• Free Resources
• Paid Courses
• Mentorship
• School

Each resource has its own plusses and minuses, but most importantly you need to do what is right for YOU. Your situation is unique and by knowing yourself and having clear goals you can make the right choice to make the next 12 months really count!
