It’s important to meet clients where they are without judgement and without being afraid to guide them out of their comfort zone when doing so can lead to growth and future success. In this episode of Course Lab, Danny, Abe and Jeff discuss leveling up your course and your clients’ results with any necessary changes in thoughts and mindset followed by inspired action.


In this episode we discuss:
  • Avoiding stereotypes when developing solutions for your clients.
  • Variable support options to supplement your course and income.
  • Pricing examples.
  • The importance of mindset to personal growth and professional success.
  • Combining awareness with assessment.
  • Getting client feedback to develop next-step options for continuing development.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.

“ If we can break down those stereotypes and say, you know, I don't have to necessarily own that myself, if that's not how I want to be.”

“If there's an issue we want to work on, we’ve got to start with the idea of awareness.”

– Jeff Perry

What is Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators?

Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students? If you want to learn how to create online courses from the best, you turn to Mirasee; and if you want to host that course, you can’t go wrong using the powerful platform, Ruzuku.

Ruzuku co-founder Abe Crystal and Mirasee founder and CEO Danny Iny know what it takes to stand out and be successful in the online courses industry. And now they’re teaming up to share this intel with you in their new Course Lab podcast.

In every episode, Course Lab showcases an entrepreneur/course creator who is nailing it with their online course -- and not because they’re teaching people how to make more money. In fact, most of these creators occupy unusual or overlooked niches, like music, writing for video games, overcoming inherent bias, and finding your life purpose.

Turns out, the key to their success all comes down to their online course design. In this podcast, Danny and Abe reveal the most important design tactics that are making all the difference for these online course creators -- and how you can implement them in your own online course. So if you want to create a successful online course that changes the lives of your students, this is your big chance to learn how it’s done from the best in the industry!
