Hi y'all, I recently posted a thread about needing some resources on how to MARKET and PRE-SELL an online course (I already built a course and know the ins and outs of making that work...but it flopped on sales).

Then, Fox recommended a course which is $1000 bucks. If I spent that money right now, I'd be in a lot of pain financially and it might set me back from a whole lot of things in my life. So that's where I'm stuck: when does it make sense to risk your financial safety net to grow your business? How do you take calculated risks?
