How to get out of your own way when making an online course

There’s a lot of advice on the practicalities of making online courses here on my blog and on my YouTube channel and Instagram. But I haven’t said much about how you can get get in your own way. Because there’s no doubt, one of the big barriers to making an online course can be your own mind. Trust me, I’ve been there myself!

So I’ve made a couple of videos about how to get over those things that can get in the way when you want to make an online course.

In the first one I talk about how you need to set aside some time and space to make your online course. It sounds obvious, but so often we end up trying to cram our course creation into to tiny pockets of time after we’ve finished our client work.

Have you ever got about half-way through making a course and been struck by lots of negative thoughts? What if your course is no good? Why would anyone listen to you anyway?

In the second video I talk about these thoughts and suggest some ways of getting past them so you can finish your course.

Please note this was a Facebook live so the video and audio quality isn’t as high as would like it to be. This is something I’m going to look into for future live videos.

Quick reminder: my ‘Create your online course in 7 weeks’ course ends in October. For all the info on that, please click here.

    Hi, Helen. Boy, do I get in my own way, a lot!
    I remember teachers trying to teach me to plan out my work in little sections over a period of time. Still, I insisted on getting it done in one go.
    It’s no wonder I’ve always struggled with burnout.
    I think if you schedule it in (for 15-30 minutes) a day, create a visual calendar and place it in front of you, and have a check list it can help you see that “Yes, I can do this and still help my clients”.

      This is so timely for me. I’ve slipped into working on things over hours, then the school summer holidays came along and I’ve had no choice but to work in small chunks. It’s made me realise just how much more productive I am in short bursts of time – and I’m kicking myself for not noticing sooner! So when the kids are back at school I’ll be chunking my schedule down like mad. 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
