The reason your course ideas feel messy

Hi there,


The reason your course ideas feel messy. You’re not broken.


Everything you’ve learned, everything you’ve overcome, every skill you’ve mastered is valuable. Not just to you, but to someone out there searching for exactly what you know.


If your brain is full of course ideas but none of them seem to fit together, you’re not doing it wrong.


You’re just early in the process.

Most coaches think confusion means they’ve failed. But that’s not the case.


Think of creating your course like moving into a brand-new house.

At first, every box is stacked and scattered everywhere. You know what’s inside them. The boxes are labeled “kitchen,” “bathroom,” and “living room.”


But until you start unpacking, it all feels like chaos.

That’s how course creation can feel at the beginning, especially if you're doing it alone.

Messy

Slow

Overwhelming


Sometimes you just want to pull your hair out.


But that doesn’t mean you’re unqualified.

It just means you’re still unpacking.


Here’s your action for today.

Write down three transformations you want your ideal client to experience from your course.

Make them very specific

Not ten lessons

Not a full outline


Just the before and after your ideal student would experience when they take your course.


Inside my mastermind community, we use this exact exercise to help you start building your course without the headache.


Once you do this, you’ll see how much easier it becomes to actually start building your course.


When you finish, reply and tell me what came up for you (and your future students).


Warm Wishes,


Marie Mason
