Creating an online course? Solopreneurs often make this course design mistake without realizing it. And it's costing them students, testimonials, and future sales.

In this episode, I share a personal story about learning to crochet that reminded me why so many course creators lose students before they even get started.

You'll learn:

• Why students give up on courses in the first few minutes
• What the "curse of knowledge" is and how it affects your course design
• How to figure out where your audience truly is in their journey
• The difference between a "beginner" and a "beginner beginner"
• Why it's okay to include basic information in your course

The transformation your students get determines your course's value, not how advanced the content is. If you skip the foundations your students need, they'll go elsewhere. And without students completing your course, you won't get the testimonials and social proof you need to grow your business.
