Top 2 REASONS You Haven't Created Your Online Course Yet

Feeling overwhelmed juggling a day job, family, and trying to build a YouTube channel? You’re not alone. Many creatives face this struggle, trying to find time to work on a product that might not even sell. I’ve been there too, and I’m here to help.

One major issue is spending too much time on low-value tasks. Instead, focus on what truly drives you towards your goals. Start by listing everything you do, rank them by the time they consume, and then rate their impact on your goals. Concentrate on the top three impactful tasks. For example, if your goal is to create a course, prioritize structuring the course, validating your idea, and drafting scripts.

Another common mistake is attempting to create a massive flagship course right from the start. This can be daunting and lead to burnout. Instead, start with a mini-course – five to eight videos that address a specific problem for your audience. This approach allows for quicker wins and less overwhelming commitment.

Impostor syndrome is another hurdle many creatives face. Remember, you don’t have to be the best to provide value. Reflect on your achievements and the followers you’ve already gained. They follow you for a reason. Focus on where you excel and build confidence in those areas by continually learning and growing your skills.
