6 Ways To Get Through Your Online Course Graveyard
1. Inventory
Doing an inventory list of all of your courses, and then assessing them to see what would be beneficial to you in the next 90 days that will help move the needle forward in your business.
2. Theme your Months
Schedule time into your calendar and pick a theme or focus area each month.
3. Outsource
If you have a team, outsource courses you’ve purchased and don’t have time to implement yourself. If you purchased a course on IG, have your social media person take it instead. She can relay important information to you, but since she will do the work anyway, it’s more beneficial to outsource it.
4. Prioritize
If you decide to do them yourself, make a point to prioritize time for it. Choose the same time every day/few days to sit down and go through the courses. This can be during your “Founder Time” as Jenny Blake calls it – where you work on your business not in it, or maybe you prefer doing it on weekends when you’re less likely to get distracted
5. Use different mediums in different ways
If the course has audio or video, do that portion while you run or sit on an exercise bike. You don’t always have to be sitting at your desk to consume material.
6. Do it with a friend
Accountability and it’s more fun!
