Workshop: How to figure out your ideal course topic
"If you build it, they will come" is the biggest myth in building courses. That's why you should define your positioning from day one and avoid building a course no one wants.
In this workshop, you'll use the "outside-in, inside-out" framework to define your topic: What questions do your target students ask you all the time? Within your area of expertise, what are you most obsessed about?
