#8 The 10% Myth: Why Knowing Just a Little More Than Your Students Can Hurt Your Course Creation Success


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode, Shannon Boyer tackles one of the most widely accepted—yet misleading—pieces of advice in the course creation world: "You only need to know 10% more than your students to teach them." While this advice may sound comforting to new course creators, Shannon explains why it could be the very thing holding you back from creating a truly impactful and successful course.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the "10% more" myth might limit the depth and value of your course.
  • How to embrace your genuine expertise to elevate your course content and credibility.
  • The importance of expert-level courses in building long-term success.
  • Strategies to overcome imposter syndrome (and why not everyone experiences it!).

If you’re ready to break free from the surface-level teaching trap and confidently step into your role as a true course creator, this episode is for you. Shannon’s actionable tips and real-world examples will inspire you to embrace your expertise and create courses that not only sell but leave a lasting impact on your students.
