Picture this: you’re buzzing with excitement over a fresh course idea. You’re pulling together Canva designs, crafting a sleek sales page, and signing up for that shiny new course platform. The big day arrives, you hit publish, and then... crickets. No sales, no buzz, just silence.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest mistakes course creators make: building something they think their audience needs without truly understanding what they’re craving.

The magic of a successful course starts with knowing your audience—getting on their level, listening to their challenges, and creating a solution that speaks directly to them. But it doesn’t stop there. Once you’ve identified their needs, the real work begins: crafting a course that promises real, tangible results, sets clear expectations, and boldly delivers.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to tune into your audience and discover what they really want.
  • The importance of interacting with your community to uncover actionable insights.
  • Why your course should focus on transformation and how to communicate its value effectively.
  • Practical strategies for setting yourself up for a successful launch long before your cart opens.


Whether you’re just starting to dream up your next course or you’ve been in the game for a while, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you build courses that sell—and serve.
