[CA] 5 Mistakes Everyone Who Runs a Live Program Makes (and how to fix them)

If this was forwarded to you, sign up here. Hey! It's been a minute since I've sent you a fresh-baked article, so I wanted to share one with you today. If you run a live program (or cohort-based course, whatever you want to call it) or are interested in running one, this article should help. I've been busy building my live program, The Alchemy of Fear, and wanted to share some powerful takeaways I've learned about building live programs over the last four years (that go against most of the popular advice you hear online). Alright, onward to this week's article... This Week's ArticleEveryone claims their program is transformational, but how do the people who actually took the program describe it? I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on dozens of programs and made 10X that running my own programs. Here are the 5 biggest mistakes I see everyone make, that come down to human psychology… ••• Mistake #1: Make It About YouYou know what’s fun about being held hostage by a narcissist? Nothing. It’s fun to feel like a rockstar—to be up on stage performing for a roaring crowd captivated by your every word and movement. It’s fun to wax poetic about all the things you think are awesome and “pull back the curtain” on how you think about every little thing in your world. It’s fun for you, but it’s miserable for the people who paid good money for a transformation your endless narcissistic pontificating is keeping them from. Unless you’re a celebrity influencer, no one gives a single shit about you. They care about themselves and achieving their own goals. Your job is to facilitate this. How to Fix It:There’s nothing wrong with sharing your experiences or insights as long as they directly help your students. Before you talk about yourself, ask, “How does this directly help my students get closer to achieving their goals?” If you can’t answer that question, don’t go down that rabbit hole. Focus on relevant examples, stories, and insights that directly help your students get closer to their transformation.
P.S.Oh, and one more thing in case you haven't heard... Until next time—memento mori, Corey |
