WANT and NEED, the keys to course success! Discover the right balance and unlock your online growth
Finding the right balance between giving your students content they really want to learn and things they need to know can be tricky.
Most students want to rush ahead to the fun stuff, often at the expense of the vital fundamentals.
If this sounds like your students you’re not alone.
Learning a new instrument, coding language, or art technique is tough and it can be tempting for students to either give up or focus solely on things they can do and that means their progress halts.
But our latest podcast guest, David A Jones has found a way to combine the wants and needs of his students seamlessly into a single lesson. This has led to happier students who love what David teaches. He explains his methods and practices in this podcast. In the show we cover:
David’s approach to creating online content and what he’s doing differently to 90% of the course creators out there.
He shares with us the lessons he decides to commit to video and what he leaves out for in-person learning and why.
And David stresses the importance of finding the right audience for your products and why they might not be who you think they are.

Keep on dancing - lessons in entrepreneurial grit from the events industry anyone can use
“The biggest thing I thought I needed to worry about was the weather, pandemic was an alien word to me”
2020 was crazy for everyone, but if you were the owner of a festival you probably saw your doors shut and trade dry up completely.
What do you do in that situation? Put your head in your hands, give up, and close down?
Or do you think on your feet, adapt, and power on through.
That’s what our latest guest, Roger ‘Dodge’ Woodall, did. Roger is the owner of Bournemouth 7’s, the UK’s biggest sport and music festival.
When the pandemic hit he pivoted his business and through grit, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit came out the other side of 2020 stronger.
We can all learn a lot from Roger's experiences, whether you’re an online coach, personal trainer, or restaurant owner. The hurdles Roger faced in 2020 have been faced across all industries and in businesses of all sizes.
If you need advice on overcoming setbacks, staying positive in the face of adversity, and deciding when you need to pivot your offering then this show has your answers.
Enjoy.

The power of saying NO. How to reject clients that are bad for your business
Running a business is all about getting more clients right? More customers mean more money.
More money equals more success, right?
Not always, it's far better to cherry-pick your clients and only serve customers who fit really well with your brand, program, or ethos.
Ill-fitting, nightmare clients will drain your entry, time, and ultimately cost you money.
You don't need that headache, it's far better to politely direct them somewhere else.
But how can you spot a NO prospect? What do you say to them to let them down gently? Should you ever take on a difficult client against your better judgment?
Helping us answer these questions is podcast guest, Kirsten Haglund.
