        I always go into reading a book or taking a course thinking, "If I can get just one really good nugget, it'll be worth it." But I got SEVERAL really great nuggets—those are worth significantly more than I paid for the course.

        Since engaging with Mindmaven, I work a third to half as much as I did prior to working with you guys and bringing in our EA. But my output is at least 3x. I actually have the space to think again!
