Are you an online course creator? Is your program financially sustainable? Are you suffering from stress and burnout?  A few years ago I walked away from my course, FB Brilliance, because it was no longer profitable and I was completely burnt out. 

 

My passion for Facebook Ads is so strong though that I couldn’t stay away.  I took a long, hard look at the problems with my course. I made A LOT of changes to my program and now the Facebook Ads Intensive is a financially sustainable program that I enjoy teaching. I am helping my students more than ever and I am sharing my passion for Facebook Ads with the world again!

 

I dive deep into the problems a lot of course creators face and the changes that I made. I hope you'll get a lot of insight from this episode as I dig in and explore how I found my way back to teaching my passion after throwing in the towel.  If you haven’t started a course yet because you’ve been deterred by the burnout you’ve seen in others, I hope you will find encouragement here to go ahead and get started.

Erin Leonard of Notice the Little Things started a daily gratitude habit while in college. She shared her lists with family and friends via email for several years before starting her blog.  Several more years passed until she finally decided to jump in with both feet and really give her blog the time and attention it needed to become a successful business.  

Sometimes as busy moms we can be afraid to give our ideas the time or money that they need to grow into a business. Our time, our life experience, and our expertise are valuable and we shouldn’t shy away from sharing our gifts with the world while also getting something in return.

Erin decided to give her dreams a chance and thanks to the Facebook Ads Intensive and a lot of hard work, Erin is now earning money from Notice the Little Things while also helping busy moms everywhere uncover and celebrate the little everyday joys of life.
