So, you've got a course you want to create, which is awesome - but where do you even start?  In this episode, we chat about the first 3 steps you need to take to get on your way.

First 3 Steps:

In this episode, we are looking at TIME.  Finding time to get everything done can be tough, so let's look at how you can make progress in your course creation journey with a little bit of clever planning.

Action Step:

Reflect on your current workload - be honest about your time.  Schedule time in your calendar, block it out, for course creation.  Have a go at batch recording!

 Show Notes:

In this episode, I may shock you by saying , "The value of your course isn't in the content".  Don't panic, I'm going to explain why the value actually lies in helping students achieve the outcome they desire. 

Let's take a closer look at the crucial triad that delivers course value:

• The course content
• The community
• The support

Action Step:

Map out the triad and reflect on how your program meets those three elements.
