Do you dream of creating an online course? Are you desperate to reach more people but sceptical that you can ACTUALLY make it work? 
The truth is a lot of online courses do fail but that isn't because the content is bad. It is because the marketing strategy sucks. The truth is your marketing isn't a separate thing. Talking to the community you want to serve should be part of the development of the course. 
Getting to know them, giving them free resources and building relationships WHILE you build your course in the background is the key to success that most psychologists and therapists launching courses miss. 
Well not you! Because you can download my free course creation guide and get yourself on the right track to creating a course people actually want and need.
The guide talks you through the first, essential steps you must take when planning your course so you can avoid the expensive mistakes I see so many well-intentioned people making.
