b'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.
