What I Wish I Knew Before Creating My First Course
The Dreamer's Lounge Podcast
Are you sitting on a course-creation goldmine?! If you have ever wanted to branch out in terms of your business pursuits, but have let fear and doubt hold you back, not only are you stifling your own creative process, you’re failing to help people to your fullest potential, and literally sitting on what could be a consistent stream of passive income. As exhilarating as course creation can be, it’s also a daunting process to take all your ideas - and entire process, really- and boil it down to basics that others can learn and implement. There are lots of things you learn after the fact,...

Are we Still Beta Testing New Products?
The Dreamer's Lounge Podcast
So, do I think beta programs are dying? Yes and no. I think you have to take the context and economic climate into account when deciding the best course of action for your unique program. Do you have a following that would be understanding of any mild hiccups, and help inform your process? Times are tough these days, so there might be fewer of these “need to be first” seekers, and more and more customers demanding value with every dollar they hesitantly spend. In this episode we’ll talk more about: The good and bad of beta testing How to decide if beta testing is right for your course ...

How to Leverage Course Creation to Add Multiple Income Streams to Your Business
The Dreamer's Lounge Podcast
One of the most common questions I get is, how do I create multiple streams of income if I’m already pulled in so many different directions? If you are a small business owner, chances are one of your main goals is to try and reach as many ideal clients as you can.

That’s why in this episode of the podcast I’ll get into: How courses are the bread and butter of multiple income streams Things to keep in mind as you go create Course development is an easy and oftentimes...

Health is Actually True Wealth: How to Prioritize Your Well-Being
The Dreamer's Lounge Podcast
We hear it all the time- hustle, grind, mom boss. We’re bombarded with messages that if we’re not working ourselves practically to death then we’re not working hard enough and we’re not going to be successful. If you fall into this line of thinking, it starts to feel like doing anything for yourself is selfish and lazy. But when you really think about it, the bottom line or profit margin isn’t going to keep you company in a hospital bed, which is where you’ll end up if you don’t start taking care of yourself. That’s why on this episode we’ll talk more about: The...
info_outline- Delivering what clients need versus what they want
- My own experiences with various courses
- The importance of foundational work from you and your client
This all comes down to communication, and being able to sit in some potential temporary awkwardness with the ultimate goal of real, transformative change. Remember you’re not here to give them what they want; if they were able to sustain their business off of that they wouldn’t have sought you out at all. You’re here to evaluate everything, and give them what they NEED.
