This Is Why They Never Finish Your Course 😬
Your customers do NOT need everything you know.
I know. 😱
As a coach or course creator, it’s incredibly tempting to prove how helpful you are by dumping your entire brain into your offers.
▶️ Here are 60 videos!
✏️ Here are 30 worksheets!
✅ Here are 10,000 strategies!
🎁 Here are a billion lousy bonuses you didn’t ask for!
LOOK HOW MUCH VALUE YOU’RE GETTING!!!
Except . . .
More information doesn't automatically equal more value.
Sometimes it just creates more DECISIONS, and more decisions create more CONFUSION.
And confused people do nothing.
That’s exactly what happened with one of my old courses, Startup In 60.
It has 60 daily videos and 30 worksheets because I crammed basically everything I knew about starting a business into one gigantic course.
At the time, I thought that made it incredibly valuable.
Instead, it created 3 problems that I bet you're dealing with too:
1️⃣ Nobody wants to finish the damn thing.
Sixty days is a huge commitment when you’re already overwhelmed trying to start a business.
👉 Is your timeline so long and tedious that it feels like a never-ending quest with no treasure at the end?
2️⃣ It becomes outdated FAST.
The world of online business changes constantly, so maintaining a gigantic mega-course became ridiculous.
👉 Is your digital course able to weather changes to software, marketing strategies, and even social trends?
3️⃣ Finding one specific answer is exhausting.
Imagine thinking, “Wait . . . where did Sage explain that thing I need?”
Was it video 17? Day 42? Worksheet 23?
WHO KNOWS?!?! 😂
Sorry, Life Editor. Even I don't know where your answers are in my mega-monster-sized course.
That’s why I teach something completely different now:
ONE solution for ONE problem.
❌ Not everything your could possibly teach.
❌ Not every strategy you’ve ever tried.
❌ Not dozens of different roads they could theoretically take.
One specific problem. One specific solution. One quick win.
Because your customer didn’t pay you to download your entire brain.
They paid you to help them get a RESULT.
And here’s the test I want you to use on your own course, program, workshop, or product:
Finish this sentence:
👉 “By the end of this product, my customer will __________________.”
ONE result.
Then look at everything you’re teaching.
✅ Does this lesson help them get that result?
✅ Does this worksheet help them get that result?
✅ Does this bonus help them get that result?
✅ Could they take action TODAY without needing to buy another course, join another program, or spend 3 weeks researching what to do next?
If not, CUT IT.
Move it to another product. Save it for later. Turn it into a separate training.
But don’t make your customer sort through your giant pile of knowledge to figure out what they actually need.
That’s YOUR job as the expert.
My (newer! better!) course, The 2-Day Product Producer teaches this exact framework.
It’s intentionally short and sweet, people actually COMPLETE it, and by the end you’ve created your own mini course based on one solution to one problem.
Because an hour-long course that gets someone a quick win is infinitely more useful than a 40-hour super-course collecting digital dust.
Now leave a comment and tell me:
What ONE specific result does your current offer help your customer get?
If you can’t answer that in one sentence, you might have some trimming to do. ✂️
