00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.340
Really good question from somebody who says, George, I would love to teach my process, but it's hard for me to even explain

2
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.820
my process to somebody.

3
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.120
Yeah. I get it. I I I can very much feel that way too.

4
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:20.145
I mean, whether it's about joyful productivity or whether it's about authentic marketing, like, what is it really like?

5
00:00:20.145 --> 00:00:23.925
How do I explain it? So I think that's one of the beautiful things about

6
00:00:24.385 --> 00:00:28.564
being a course creator is that is part of the messy middle.

7
00:00:29.185 --> 00:00:31.205
Do do you think a course creator goes,

8
00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:33.790
I'm gonna teach x y z course.

9
00:00:34.510 --> 00:00:37.489
Fully flow fully fledged outline already in mind.

10
00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:42.110
That's not that's not how it works. Do do you're you're gonna see me.

11
00:00:42.110 --> 00:00:47.405
I'm I'm gonna walk you through how I do it. It's it's it's not even the messy middle.

12
00:00:47.405 --> 00:00:48.704
It's the messy beginning,

13
00:00:49.245 --> 00:00:49.905
the messy

14
00:00:50.684 --> 00:00:51.504
middle beginning,

15
00:00:51.805 --> 00:00:57.184
beginning middle, messy middle, and then it gets less messy over time as things go,

16
00:00:57.565 --> 00:01:01.710
oh, wait a second. I thought it was gonna be like this, but now it's it's actually gonna be

17
00:01:02.510 --> 00:01:05.890
like that. And throughout all that, I hope you bring a playful mindset.

18
00:01:06.350 --> 00:01:07.869
Okay. So think of it more like,

19
00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:12.590
you're playing with some Play Doh, some colorful Play Doh, and that's your process.

20
00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:16.590
I mean, when you work with a client, you are just naturally in connection to another person.

21
00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:19.494
You're able to go shape something to exactly what they want.

22
00:01:19.795 --> 00:01:23.634
Oh, you want to you want me to build a little pyramid. I'm gonna build a pyramid for you here.

23
00:01:23.634 --> 00:01:26.835
Oh, you want me to build a little table for you? I'm gonna build a table here.

24
00:01:26.835 --> 00:01:31.015
Like, when you're talking with a client and they're presenting you with a problem or presenting you with a situation,

25
00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:39.420
you have this natural ability as a human connecting soul to shape what it is you know in service of what they have.

26
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:42.320
But when you're thinking, oh, course creation, like,

27
00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:46.445
the the part of the problem is you need to bring a specific person to mind

28
00:01:46.825 --> 00:01:50.905
as if you are talking to them. Right? That's part of the the exercises we're gonna be doing.

29
00:01:50.905 --> 00:01:53.405
But also part of it is you need to allow yourself

30
00:01:54.104 --> 00:01:57.930
play with Play Doh. They allow yourself to play with ideas to go well. Okay.

31
00:01:58.090 --> 00:02:00.670
And when we're gonna do timers throughout the you know,

32
00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:05.710
when we do the course creation portion, I'm gonna give you certain timers, and we're gonna do it together.

33
00:02:05.770 --> 00:02:10.185
And you're always gonna surprise yourself when you work with a timer, especially in a group.

34
00:02:10.264 --> 00:02:12.205
You're gonna surprise you're like, what? I did that?

35
00:02:12.584 --> 00:02:19.485
And so with a timer, you're gonna be able to outline a first draft outline of, well, if I had to describe it, it would be like this.

36
00:02:19.705 --> 00:02:20.205
Okay?

37
00:02:20.425 --> 00:02:27.400
And then you'll get some feedback and then you might shape it differently as you get feedback and you you sleep on it, etcetera.

38
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:29.879
So it's really allowing yourself

39
00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:31.560
the playfulness

40
00:02:32.579 --> 00:02:33.959
of ideas and not

41
00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:40.595
and letting go of this notion that you're supposed to start with a fully fledged outline and supposed to be a perfect course.

42
00:02:40.974 --> 00:02:45.474
The first course I by the way, this very course, I've taught it four times already.

43
00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:49.215
I think this is the fifth time I'm teaching it, and it's quite different already.

44
00:02:49.215 --> 00:02:50.254
It's quite different already.

45
00:02:50.254 --> 00:02:56.860
So I promise you, if if you allow yourself playfulness and the the shortcut is, of course, you get together with another person

46
00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.120
in this course or another fellow course creator.

47
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.820
Get together get together with another course creator and practice explaining your process to each other.

48
00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:08.825
And by having that person there and asking you questions,

49
00:03:09.525 --> 00:03:14.825
another exercise we're gonna do, you're going to naturally find yourself saying, well, I just described something.

50
00:03:15.205 --> 00:03:18.185
I'm glad we recorded that kind of thing. So I hope this is helpful.
