How to Make the Most of this Course
At the top of each page, you’ll find an audio lesson. This is like an exclusive podcast that only course participants get access to. Feel free to listen to each one while doing the dishes, if occupied hands help you concentrate, or with your eyes closed if that helps you tune in better. We recommend listening to the audio before reading the rest of the lesson.
After listening and then reading, you’ll find a prompt to complete some kind of action under the heading ‘Step Forward’. Don’t mark the lesson as complete until you’ve actually completed this step! (Once you've clicked "complete" the next lesson will unlock.)
It’s better to move slowly through the course than to speed through without taking action.Â
Nothing changes if you don’t move.
In each lesson, you’ll find suggestions with links to some of our resources under the heading ‘Sidestreets’. Feel free to head off on these tangents when the mood strikes you. But make sure you return to the Studio Success Path when you’re done exploring.
Â
**NOTE Lite Members: There may be some Sidestreets that are unavailable on your subscription level. In order to access these, you'll need to upgrade to a Studio Membership.
Alternatively, you may like to complete this full course without clicking on any of the extra links and then come back for a second round to explore those as well. You’re welcome to take this course as many times as you like. In fact, we expect you’ll want to take it again and again to really absorb the concepts. That’s how you build the layers in your beautiful teaching cake.
