If that\u2019s a\u00a0<\/span>yes,<\/span>\u00a0here\u2019s exactly what you need<\/span>: online\u00a0<\/span>courses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Online courses work for every kind of coach\u00a0<\/span>as long as<\/span>\u00a0you find\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>way to transfer your skills<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and energy\u00a0<\/span>into<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>an online experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Follow these\u00a0<\/span>five<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>simple steps to create your first<\/span> \u2013 or second \u2013 transformational\u00a0<\/span>online coaching<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Identify a\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Clarity Mindset<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

M<\/span>ost likely, your eagerness to start this journey is also matched with thoughts\u00a0<\/span>like<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>Online courses don\u2019t work<\/span>,<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u201c<\/span>Who am I to teach a course?<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u201c<\/span>Nobody\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>going to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>buy this<\/span>,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and so<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The well-known\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>mposter<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>yndrome<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0hard at work in our minds<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

F<\/span>irst things first<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>r<\/span>emove these negative beliefs and get in the right mindset.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Achieving<\/span>\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0clarity mindset means you are connected at a deep level<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 mentally, emotionally and spiritually \u2013 with your<\/span>\u00a0purpose as a coach and the reason you want to create a course in the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>first place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about growing your business. It\u2019s about the deeper purpose.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Identifying and following this clarity mindset will give you the passion and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>motivation needed to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>build\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0transformational coaching course that will stand out from the crowd.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Ask the\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Right Questions<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got the right mindset, it\u2019s time to ask the right questions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Invest some time to\u00a0<\/span>discover the foundations and purpose<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for creating this online course. Ask<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>yourself these two questions:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Where does this course fit into my business ecosystem?<\/li>\n
  2. Who is the course for?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It may take time and energy to find these answers, but they will give you the clarity and direction<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>you need to\u00a0<\/span>build your course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>These questions will\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>help\u00a0<\/span>define what your course will be about and what\u00a0<\/span>desired\u00a0<\/span>outcomes\u00a0<\/span>you will create for your clients.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 3:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Outline your\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Ideal\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Course\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Structure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The next step is defining how the course will be delivered.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>There are two main\u00a0<\/span>categories\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>choose\u00a0<\/span>from:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The <\/span>Deep Dive\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is\u00a0<\/span>best<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>suited<\/span>\u00a0for experienced coaches<\/span>\u00a0and should be\u00a0<\/span>used when you<\/span>\u00a0are confident in your ability to focus on a specific topic of ex<\/span>pertise as a part of your signature course.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. The <\/span>Mini Offering\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is a bit shorter and focuses on a single, specific topic<\/span>, though it<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>can still create<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>great transformational results. Because\u00a0<\/span>this type of offering<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0simpler, it is easier\u00a0<\/span>for clients\u00a0<\/span>to \u201cdigest\u201d and experience,<\/span>\u00a0and therefore<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>achiev<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0the results they signed up for.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Choose the category\u00a0<\/span>and structure\u00a0<\/span>that will\u00a0<\/span>best\u00a0<\/span>serve you\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>d your clients.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Step 4:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Create\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Transformational Content<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Figuring out what to teach and how to create the content is just as exciting as it is intimidating.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>There\u00a0<\/span>may be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>so much information you want to share that\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>might\u00a0<\/span>derail you<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>core<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>message, which is why I suggest\u00a0<\/span>follow<\/span>ing\u00a0<\/span>these<\/span>\u00a0two simple steps<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Define what to teach<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Zoom in on the specific topic you want to focus on\u00a0<\/span>rather than trying to develop the course along the<\/span>\u00a0lines of an enormous topic.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Write your content.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>This is where the magic happens! Writing your content\u00a0<\/span>means\u00a0<\/span>translating the power of your coaching<\/span>\u00a0skills<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>into an online course\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>your students will be able to follow and\u00a0<\/span>lead them to transformation.\u00a0<\/span>A great way to create your content is with the\u00a0<\/span>Moonwalk Process<\/span><\/a>, which\u00a0<\/span>instructs you to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>start<\/span>\u00a0from the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>outcomes you want to achieve and then\u00a0<\/span>work<\/span>\u00a0backward<\/span>, step by step, until\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span>\u00a0reach\u00a0<\/span>the starting point of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>the course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 5:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Build\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Engagement<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

        So, you\u2019ve finished your online course, launched it<\/span>\u00a0and already have your first batch of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>students. Congratulations!\u00a0<\/span>What\u2019s next?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Once you start running the online course, you need to ensure your clients<\/span>\u00a0(students)<\/span>\u00a0are engaged and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>willing to apply the techniques and learning of the course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        A great way to drive engagement is by\u00a0<\/span>creating community groups<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>online platforms\u00a0<\/span>like<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Facebook, in which the members of your course can ask questions while\u00a0<\/span>following the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>course<\/span>. This also allows<\/span>\u00a0you\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>platform\/way<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0interact with them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        An online coaching course can be just as powerful as\u00a0<\/span>one-on-one\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0sessions or group coaching if you put<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the right elements in place and create a transformational experience for your clients!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
