You know how tempting it can be when gurus paint this picture of creating a digital course and then magically earning thousands in passive income?
It sounds too good to be true, but is it?
If you've tried and failed, got lost in the process, or felt disheartened, trust me, you're not alone.
Patience and a step-by-step approach—think tortoise, not hare—is crucial for turning your dream into a sustainable business.
Throughout this episode, I'm tackling the myth around these get-rich-quick digital courses head-on, exploring why jumping straight into building a digital course without a solid foundation is often a recipe for disappointment.
Timestamped Summary:00:00 Digital course doesn't bring value or profit.
03:23 Frustration of failure, especially for neurodivergent individuals.
09:05 Develop group program based on client needs.
11:13 Iterated small group program evolves into community.
16:18 Personalized client work helps, not courses.
18:04 Clients should guide strategy, not idealized vision.
00:21:52 - Perspective changes so you'll see opportunities instead of obstacles.
00:25:52 - Ensuring your beliefs align with your business dreams.

In this bonus episode my producer Neal (now a client) and I delved into some incredibly insightful discussions about how our personal money archetypes influence our financial perspectives and behaviors.
It's always revealing to see how character traits impact not just our business decisions but our overall mental state.
Neal's journey highlighted a combination of traits that you may well find relatable.
We touched on the tendency of some to over-give, stemming from a deep psychological need to derive self-worth from helping others.
This behavior, while noble, can sometimes wreak havoc on business and personal relationships.
We also explored the tension between saving rigorously and indulging in life's pleasures—a common conflict for many.
Our talk emphasized the importance of unpacking these behaviors, recognizing their origins, and seeking a balance that aligns with our broader life goals.
Lastly, Neal and I dove deep into some ways to manage these complex archetypes.
We discussed setting boundaries, pricing adjustments, and being mindful about how time is allocated to ensure that giving doesn’t become self-sacrificial.
I also offered Neal some tactile steps and recommendations on how to manage his specific traits.
This episode serves as a reminder that understanding one's own archetype can lead to profound positive changes in both business strategies and personal life quality.

We're gonna get hot and sweaty wrestling with a challenge that many business owners face when they're trying to drum up the cash monies for their biz. Sending DMs. Or, more to the point, the ROI on cold DMs, in terms of time and money spent sending them.
No spoilers, but it turns out, my alternative of attraction-based marketing strategy might just be your ticket to business freedom and flexibility.
But, I'll still run you through the numbers, and prove to you why all those people who cold pitch you every day, or invite you to let them do it on your behalf, are wasting their time.
Seriously!
