Biggest Takeaways You Don\u2019t Want to Miss:\n\nWhen you\u2019re looking into creating a course\u2014and this is especially true when you\u2019re just starting out\u2014you\u2019ve got a TON of information to choose from. Maybe you\u2019ve been working on this material for 5 or 10 years, or you\u2019ve been consulting a while and you have a ton of stories, examples and exercises.\n\n\nGetting all of that out of your head\xa0can be difficult, to say the least. Whenever I sit down to create a new course (like I\u2019m doing right now) it can be both exciting, and excruciating.\n\nWhich is why I wanted to bring on Gina Onativia, a content and course expert who is in the trenches every day with her clients, building their courses. Gina has\xa0a super practical post-it exercise\xa0she\u2019s created to help her clients figure out some pre-details before diving into course creation. I think of her process as kind of like a \u201cprelude\u201d to my own...and I think you\u2019ll find it extremely helpful in your own course creation process.\n\nBy the way, if you\u2019re NOT in the midst of creating a course, you can also use this exercise for any type of content creation. AND I want to make sure you download the freebie\u2014which has the exact steps we are going to talk about in this episode. In the freebie, you\u2019ll see a real post-it exercise from one of Gina\u2019s clients that you can use as an example to guide your own process (and I LOVE great examples!).\xa0(9:01)\nWith your freebie at the ready,\xa0get ready to dive into your course creation here.\nThis episode is brought to you by: In my\xa0free masterclass:\xa0How to Confidently Create Your First Online Course in 60 Days, I will walk you through all of the pieces it takes to create a stellar online course.\xa0Save your spot here!\nCheck out these highlights:\n\nThe first area course creators get tripped up when starting out.
