Fresh meals, grandkids, friends, daily social media, my husband, my business … SOMETIMES SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE 🙃
😩 Sometimes it’s take-outs three dinners in a row
😩 Sometimes no messenger follow-ups
😩 Sometimes minimum conversation with my husband
😩 Sometimes friends don’t see me for months
😩 Sometimes my work doesn’t move the needle on the KPI dials
💪 Mostly …
👍 I’m disciplined
👍 I’m organised
👍 I use a calendar to schedule my time
👍 I do the most important tasks first
👍 I provide good, fresh dinner
👍 Family and friends can rely on me
👍 I focus on spending my time on my highest values
😣
🏅Sometimes I focus on a single goal
🏅For a 21-day challenge
🏅And it moves one relevant needle
🏅And it builds one important muscle
🏅And my husband helps
🏅And friends wait
🏅And my clients benefit
🏅And the grandkids aren’t affected 🥰😍
♎️
⛔️ Few days are balanced
⛔️ Few weeks are balanced
♎️ Few months don’t balance out
🌷
🥵 This business woman is deeply flawed …
📈 And growing systems and learning and muscle …
📈 And the identity of the CEO …
📈 Who knows exactly
📈 What my business has grown to be six months from now
🙃 Because sometimes some things gave along the way
🚀🚀🚀
🎶💃❤️ I’m so happy and grateful
🎶💃❤️ For the courses we create
🎶💃❤️ And the lives we change
🎶💃❤️ And the money we make

Create Your Course. Change Lives. Here's How!
💥
Transform your knowledge into a powerful course outline.
In three simple steps.
Our process guides you from idea to a tangible, sellable product.
Ready to impact lives and boost your business?
Comment for the COURSE OUTLINE TEMPLATE!
💥
Don’t be fooled – creating your course is HUGE!
And our Course Outline Template simplifies the process.
🎶💃
According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, CREATING demands the highest level of thinking skills.
You use your knowledge to create activities and attitudes to achieve outcomes.
Then you sequence YOUR UNIQUE NEW CREATION.
Now reduce and refine to ensure the path is as short as possible.
Finally, create a facilitation plan to support the learner to succeed at every step.
💥
Our Problem-to-Promise Process helps you to create ...
You identify the initial client problem, and your promise solves it.
Which leads your client to their next problem.
And your promise solves it.
And so on.
💥
This becomes the Course Outline.
💥
The Course Outline is a visual summary of the steps in the learning or transformation journey.
It gives your client the roadmap to their desired result.
It is a tangible product with the potential to change your client’s life. You sell the Course Outline before finalising the complete course.
💥
There are three steps to create the Course Outline:
1. Brain-dump content ideas
Speed is of the essence.
When we race against the clock, our brains present only the priority tasks to achieve the outcome.
💥
2. Create the outline
Identify the key concept per module.
Decide the course duration.
Cut each module to fit into the allocated time. This helps you to filter the essentials once more.
💥
3. Structure each module into three topics
Structuring the modules in a consistent way provides rhythm for the learner.
Name each module with powerful words of what they want.
Specify student activities to apply and practice new skills. Anticipate the time needed for completion.
💥
The end result …
Your tangible high level Course Outline.
Your client roadmap.
Your saleable product.
Your superpower changing lives.
💥
Every coach needs a core course.
For better client results.
Streamlined onboarding.
To save time.
And increased cash flow.
To improve your offer so that you can charge more.
To scale.
💥
Every expert needs a core course.
To keep doing what you know and love.
On your own terms.
At any age.
To have income and impact.
Always.

I am about 4 hours away from finishing off a week of 17-hour days. Hooray!
And I feel deep joy and appreciation to share this testimonial from the serene Dr Claudine Marchand.
I am in awe of Claudine, lit up with joy and brilliance in the photo.
She uses a wheelchair and teaches that life is about learning to dance in the rain.
"Sylvia's 'A Course in 5 Days' challenge revolutionized my approach to course creation. Her unwavering dedication to her students' success is truly remarkable. So I happily followed her invitation to the next challenge 'your first 10 clients for your course'.
What sets Sylvia apart:
- Unparalleled commitment to service: She created multiple groups across time zones to accommodate global participants
- Personal touch: Sylvia actively engages with each student, even reaching out via personal chats to keep us motivated and on track
- Crystal-clear roadmap at every step
- Perfect balance of soft encouragement and firm direction
- Fresh perspectives that overcame my mental blocks
- Tailored strategies for Facebook.
Sylvia's above-and-beyond approach ensures that every participant, regardless of location or schedule, has the opportunity to fully engage and succeed. Her personalized attention made me feel valued and supported throughout the entire process.
Even without completing every task, I finished feeling accomplished and empowered. Sylvia's method isn't just about creating one course—it's a repeatable framework for turning any idea into a viable business.
If you're seeking a mentor who truly invests in your success, Sylvia is unmatched. Her challenges are the gold standard for entrepreneurs looking to build sustainable online businesses. The level of service and expertise Sylvia provides is simply extraordinary."
Thank you, powerful Claudine. 💥
