Finding Your Spark: Starting Your Online Course Without a Perfect Plan

In this episode of Scaling Therapy Practice, host James Marland emphasizes the importance of starting course creation with a spark rather than waiting for a perfect plan. Addressing therapists looking to expand their reach through online courses, James discusses the pitfalls of waiting for everything to be perfect and the fear that often holds people back. He likens course creation to remodeling a basement where flexibility and adjustments are essential. The episode covers three main points: why a spark is the true starting point, the power of personal stories, and identifying where one's natural gifts meet real-world needs. James also introduces a five-day challenge starting April 14th to help therapists get started and find their spark.
