You want your students to be successful, but so often they drop off the face of the earth after they’ve entered their credit card number or maybe they make it through Module 1 and then suddenly it is crickets.

Why does this happen with alarming frequency?

A lot of reasons, but one big one is that your students aren’t ready for your digital course, become overwhelmed, lost, and frozen.

This is NOT what we want for our students. We want them to be successful, first and foremost, because we have entered the digital course realm to make a difference. If our students don’t finish our course, then we aren’t having the impact that we hoped to have. Secondly, we want to be able to feature our students, celebrate their wins, and learn from their struggles in the course so that we can make it better.

Neither of these things happen if our students don’t make it through the course. And this brings me to the question of whether you should consider prerequisites for your course and how that works when anyone can get to your sales page and enter their credit card number.

How many $2000 courses have you purchased as an entrepreneur? The more entrepreneurs that I talk to, the more I hear that they have purchased 2, 3, 4, and even 5 different $2000 (or more) courses. So many have shared that they’ve invested over $40,000 in their business before selling anything.

Your first thought might be wow! That is a LOT of money. Followed closely by did they finish all of those courses, implement everything, and get a good ROI?

These are fair questions and one of the reasons that I’ve stopped buying $2000 courses over the last 2 years and one of the biggest reasons that I’ve been implementing more cost effective services and options in my own business and I’m going to share with you my reasoning so that you can decide if the hype of continually raising your prices is worth it for your business.

You might decide that there is absolutely no reason to ever charge less than $2000 for your digital course and that is completely fine, but you might also discover that there is a place for inexpensive services, workshops, and even courses in your business.

I’m going to challenge you to think about what would happen if you priced your services, courses, workshops, and memberships at something that was doable for most people.

Not for the first time I heard an entrepreneur sharing that something was hard for them and the other person said that they thought it was easy.

That kind of comparison makes entrepreneurship hard because we start to wonder what we are missing, if we aren’t cut out for the path we’ve chosen, or even if we are smart enough to make a go of our business.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

The truth is that when we compare ourselves to others it can steal our joy faster than a toddler can grab a fourth cupcake off the party table.

Mindset is one of the biggest factors in entrepreneurial success, in fact at one point this podcast was called the Entrepreneur Mindset Podcast. That is how important mindset is to being a successful digital course creator, but it is a lifelong journey.

Today we are going to spend time going through 3 activities that you can do each week to bolster, reset, and strengthen your mindset so that you can move toward success as a course creator and limit the comparison thief.
