In this episode of The Art of Online Course Creation, host Shannon Boyer addresses one of the most common challenges faced by course creators—getting stuck in the middle of the process. 

Shannon offers actionable strategies to help you break through the barriers, regain momentum, and finally complete your course. 

From overcoming the fear of imperfection to managing the overwhelming scope of your project, this episode is packed with insights to inspire and empower you to reach the finish line.

Key Takeaways:

• Course Creation is Not Easy: Many course creators struggle because they were led to believe that creating a course is a simple process. However, the truth is that it's a challenging, yet rewarding, endeavor.
• Fear of Imperfection: Embrace imperfection in your course creation. High standards are important, but striving for perfection can paralyze progress.
• Overwhelming Scope: If your course feels too large in scope, consider narrowing it down. Breaking it into smaller, more manageable parts can make the process more doable for both you and your students.
• Lack of a Clear Plan: Having a clear, structured plan is essential. Use proven course creation frameworks to guide your process and keep your course organized and coherent.

Additional Considerations:

• Online Courses Are Not Passive Income: Shannon emphasizes that online education requires active effort and is not a form of passive income. High-quality courses demand a significant commitment.
• Mindful Time Management: Creativity requires dedicated time and space. Shannon suggests blocking off substantial chunks of time to focus on course creation without distractions.
