Course Creators Weekly #10 🗓 August 31st, 2020 - How to Keep Going (When You Don't Want To)

• 
  Celebrate small wins, even when you have big goals
• 
  Think about the reward on the other end—what do you look forward to?
• 
  Think of it as a game—build a streak, and don't break it
• 
  Think about your vision—your big 'why'
• 
  Use the 5-second rule: just count down from 5 and do what you gotta do
• 
  Be grateful that you have a 'choice'—it's a privilege
• 
  Be inspired by and learn from those a few steps ahead of you, but…
• 
  Don't compare yourself with them—only your past self
• 
  Find people to hold you accountable

Personalised, adaptive learning is the future of online courses…

• 
  Test your students' existing knowledge to find gaps in prerequisite skills
• 
  Use assessments to help students find content that's most relevant to them
• 
  Recommend extra resources, allowing students to personalise their learning
• 
  Give students the opportunity to ask questions through forums, chat, or live calls

• 
  First of all, remember that competition is good—it means there's a market
• 
  Niche down on a market or a specific platform
• 
  Go deep on a SINGLE topic
• 
  Price high, especially if you have social proof
• 
  Focus on your expertise, and sell YOU
