“I Don’t Know Enough to Teach This”—Let’s Talk About It

Here's the truth:

✨ You only need to be 10% ahead of your students and clients to be 100% of value to them.

Not the best. Not the most certified. Not some “been-doing-this-for-40-years” guru preaching from a pedestal.

Just a few steps ahead—with a flashlight in hand.

Because no one’s asking for perfection. They’re asking for direction.

They don’t want someone untouchable. They want someone relatable (and that's you).

Someone who’s walked through the fire, lived to tell the tale, and is just a few steps ahead—ready to show them the way to the other side.

So if you’ve been comparing your Chapter 1 or 2 to someone else’s Chapter 20…
Close the book. That’s their story. Yours is still being written—and it’s already worth reading.

❌ You don’t need a certification, a college degree, or 24 acronyms or credentials after your name...

You need lived experience.
You need a point of view.
You need to just simply add to the conversation happening in your industry and add your own unique perspective, not try to be the entire conversation.

Let’s break the spiral and rebuild confidence, step by step.

✨ Step 1: Look at the results you’ve already created for yourself and/or others

For clients, friends, even yourself:

✅ What questions do people always ask you?
✅ What shifts have people made after working with or talking to you?
✅ What do you do so naturally, you don’t even realize it’s valuable?

That’s your course topic.

✨ Step 2: Define the “start” and “finish” of your transformation

People don’t buy your life story—they buy a result.

✅ Where is your student at when they start working with you?
✅ Where will they be by the end?
✅ Keep it easy, simple, focused and realistic. An online course is not for EVERYTHING you know... it is for 1 type of person, who has 1 problem, and offers 1 solution. It is not a PhD thesis.

^ This is what I call the 1-1-1 Rule.

Gaining clarity here makes everything easier for you—and also for your students.

✨ Step 3: Price it with how much VALUE they're getting, not how many modules.

TBH nobody cares if your course has 4 or 14 lessons, so neither should you.
What they really care about is what it does for them.

Think:
💌 Saving a marriage
💌 Getting time back with their kids
💌 Clearing hormonal acne so they finally feel confident dating again

What is that worth to them?

Because that’s what your pricing should reflect—not your video count.

✅ What is this transformation worth to someone’s life?
✅ What would 1:1 support cost to get them there?
✅ Can your course save them time, stress, or years of trial and error?

Start where you feel safe—and raise your price as your confidence (and client results) grow.

Most of my students pre-sell their first course between $197–$997. Yes, even without testimonials.

✨ Step 4: Pre-sell before you build (so you never have to wonder if it’ll sell)
