Chart your mini-course.

After coming up with your end result, it’s time to break down the journey from start to finish. This is when choosing your style of mini-course will become a lot more clear, too! 

First, let’s outline. You may not be “writing” your course out entirely depending on your method that you’ve chosen, but an outline will still come in handy BIG time! This will be useful for not only writing out your content, but also for making sure you start with an idea and drive it all the way to the solution. 

               

The map will be clear both to you during creation, but also to your customer! Pop open a doc, take a look at your building blocks from yesterday, and start piecing them together in a lovely little order. I tend to aim for each of my programs to be either a 3-step or a 5-step process, as I feel like it helps give a starting point, a middle, and an end. 

Structure matters in pretty much all things, right! Keep in mind that people don’t need you to cover it ALL. Not every course needs to be the full A-to-Z blueprint, and your course might just get them from A-B. 

Great news: you can change your delivery method over time! Say you start with a simple 5 page guidebook, but later on want to add 10 more pages - go for it! Maybe it becomes a 10 video course?? Don’t sweat that stuff yet; this is just round one.
