#201: Digital Course Creation Toughness (Mental Toughness)
Course creation is a marathon not a sprint. Course creation is a long game.
We can apply any number of inspirational quotes or mantras to our digital course creation business, but that isn’t going to keep you warm at night.
The reality is that knowing course creation and the subsequent success will take time doesn’t protect us from the challenges that will pop up, the exhaustion and frustration that inevitably send us for the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream section at the store, or the bank account that doesn’t seem to have enough to cover our business expenses.
So what do we do to get through these times when we are busily working without seeing tangible proof of our progress? We have to develop a mindset that is realistic, rooted in the truth, and ultimately helps us to stay focused and taking the process step by step.
#198: Creating a Digital Course that Engages: Regardless of Attention Span
Today’s topic is a little controversial and completely practical all in one nice serving.
So what makes today’s topic practical? We all want our students and clients to finish the digital course that we have painstakingly created, assembled, and sold. We want them to succeed and eventually become a case study for our business in addition to experiencing the change that we promised. In order to do that we have to make sure our course is engaging. We are going to cover three ways to make your course more engaging.
This doesn’t sound controversial, except it is, as I found out in a live stream training I provided this week. I made the comment that attention spans aren’t necessarily shrinking so we do not need to be worried about that when creating our courses. And one listener said that we would need to agree to disagree on that. So down the bunny trail I went into the research and that is where the controversy comes in.
We are going to talk about not just 3 ways to improve student engagement, but also how that completion rate might be impacted by attention span, or not.
#197: What makes sense? One-to-One Coaching vs. Group Program vs. Digital Course
What makes the most sense for your business?
Building a One-to-One Coaching Offer, a Group Program, or a Digital Course?
This is probably something that you’ve been wondering and have seen suggestions telling you why each one of these is THE way to go.
But which one makes the most sense for you? After all, our businesses are not a one size fits all concept.
#196: Too Many Ideas & Too Little Time: 3 Tips For Staying Focused on Your Course
The curse and the gift of being a creator is that you probably have a lot of ideas. That is a gift, because you can always create a new offer, adjust an existing lead magnet to better align with client needs, and write those stories that will engage your reader.
Sounds great, right?
It is, right up until it isn’t.
The swirl of ideas also means that you may find it difficult to focus on just one task, one offer, or one idea. The other ideas are crowding in and tempting you to shift gears to something else.
What happens as a result is that your tasks remain unfinished and your course remains un-launched.
You can keep up this half-finished way of building your business, or you can implement 3 tips for staying focused in spite of the never-ending swirl of ideas.
Which path will you choose?
#192: Perfectionism is the Fastest Way to Digital Course Creation Failure
Building a digital course creation business is full of hoops to jump through, obstacles to avoid, and decisions to make.
Perfectionism is the single biggest saboteur of the entrepreneurial spirit and biggest indicator of potential failure as a digital course creator.
There are 3 beliefs that many digital course creators have that will lead to failure and they might not be what you think. Belief number 3 is a bit counter-intuitive so I’ll be sharing more on that one at the end of today’s episode to save you angst and time.
#191: Failed Digital Course Launch. Here’s What to do Next
Have you ever found yourself getting jealous as you read through social media because you want to post on social media that your course launch was a rousing success? You want to shout from the rooftops that you didn’t just get one sale, but you in fact got more than you planned for AND your audience has grown exponentially.
You’ve seen the posts that share that exact news, but when it comes to your launch all you can post is that you had low or no sales after months of effort, a course that is detailed and packed with valuable information, and you even spent money on ads that ended up costing you instead of adding to your bank account.
Now, what? Well there are two paths forward.
