Mindvalley was founded by 2003 by Vishen Lakhiani, a Malaysian-born entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and author. Today it has offices in Malaysia and Estonia, and has 300+ staff in 54 countries.
Mindvalley is different from other types of online learning platforms in that the focus is very much personal rather than professional development. With that said, many of the lessons learned on Mindvalley can be applied to your career–particularly if you’re an entrepreneur or leader. The platform has built up a large following in the 17 years since its founding, and can now truly claim to be a leader in personal growth programs on the internet.
