Is Mindvalley Worth It? My Experience

By Roshan Perera / No Comment

Even though I earn a comfortable living as a freelancer, I live a frugal lifestyle.

I always think carefully about what I spend my money on and invest the rest for the future.

But there’s one thing that I never hesitate to spend my money on—Learning!

If I see a good book, an online course, or a program that would help me to improve my skills and abilities, I will buy that in a heartbeat.

Over the years I’ve spent a lot of money on platforms like Udemy, EDx, and Coursera to access courses to learn new things.

My mom lived and worked in the UK. She provided for herself and our family here in Sri Lanka. Her accident affected all of our family.

It affected her mentality more than anything because she is an energetic person who worked with a passion. Being disabled made her powerless and unimportant. As a result, she was diagnosed with depression.
