"I have started so many classes like this, and never finished them!! Because of the way the course is broken up into do-able little bits, I was finally able to finish. Also because: pandemic lockdown. I would sometimes watch the video, and then be about to walk away without doing the worksheet. Then I would check myself: ""It's a pandemic. I literally have nothing else to do right now. What am I going to do that's more important than this? I'll just *look* at the worksheet."" If I could get myself to look at the worksheet and gauge the work, I would usually do it. A couple times the worksheet was a big job, and I'd have to think about it and schedule time to do it later. But--I did!! and it felt sooooo good to finally complete those things that seemed really big and difficult. I remember being in my office after clicking the button one night, feeling that sense of accomplishment from doing something I had been putting off, and thinking, now I can do this from my to-do list, and now I can do that, but then I thought--""no! This is enough."" I almost never feel like I have done enough in a day, so that was freeing. And usually--the assignments weren't that difficult or time-consuming.
I was always a little unclear about exactly who to market this to however, which Marisa finally nailed for me on our last laser coaching call! :-) It's weird how it seems like maybe you're not getting the level of attention you want, but really--the universe gives you what you need when you need it.
I actually launched the workshop to my networks, which is a step I've never taken before. I am ready to make sales calls to English departments, and used to have a list of these--which of course I couldn't find now! I spent a few hours looking for it and was disappointed, then realized I just have to build my own now. Which is fine, it'll just take a bit more time to get actual clients...
