Are You Comparing Your Day 1 to Someone Else’s Year 10?

You’re trying to build a course like Amy Porterfield, James Wedmore, or Jenna Kutcher.
👉 And that might be exactly what’s keeping you stuck.
These leaders have built digital empires. They’ve got:

• Full teams
• Big budgets
• Over a decade of content, launches, and momentum

Meanwhile, you’re likely:

• Piecing things together on nights and weekends
• Working with limited bandwidth
• Balancing client work, life, and a whole lot of self-doubt

💡 Truth bomb: You’re not behind. You’re just running someone else’s race on your very first lap.

The Unrealistic Pressure You’re Putting on Yourself

Here’s what I see all the time from first-time course creators:
They expect themselves to build:

• A 20-module video course
• A 100-page workbook
• A 30-email nurture sequence
• A fully automated funnel
• Maybe even some custom AI tools... 😅

But here’s the thing:
If your clients came to you asking to master your entire skillset in a weekend, you’d laugh, right?
So why are you demanding that from yourself?

🎯 This Is Your First Course. Not Your Final One.

Your first course doesn’t need to be a masterpiece.
It doesn’t need a film crew, fancy branding, or a Tony Robbins-level funnel.
✨ It just needs to work.
Work for you. Work for your students. Work for right now.
You gain clarity through action—not through overthinking.
Let’s build it lean, powerful, and actually doable.

✅ What to Do Instead: The 3-S Approach

Here’s your new mantra:
1. Start Simple
Pick ONE transformation.
Just one result that your course helps students achieve.
You don’t need to pack everything you know into your first course.
Just solve one problem well.
2. Start Strong
Use what you already know works:

• Your real-life process
• Common client questions
• Repeated frameworks you teach

This isn’t about reinventing the wheel. It’s about giving structure to what already delivers results.

3. Start with Support
Whether it’s:

• An accountability partner
• A coach
• A cohort
• Or a done-for-you team (hi, that’s us at CRE8TION!)

…don't go it alone. 🚀
Support removes perfectionism and helps you stay in motion.

🧠 The Big Reframe: Progress Beats Perfection

Tattoo this on your brain:
Progress beats perfection. Every time.
This isn’t about building your dream course.
This is about building your first course—so you can launch, learn, and level up from there.
No one builds a castle without laying the first brick.
👉 So lay the dang brick.
