Challenge Accepted (Aron Croft)

Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators

As someone with Inattentive ADHD, Aron Croft is on a mission to help other ADHD folks live happier, more productive lives. He runs a company called Hidden ADHD and created a course called the Productivity Academy Program.
In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Aron about turning his one-on-one coaching for ADHDers into an even better product with a group program.
In this episode we'll discuss:

• Why you don’t have to be an expert to be a teacher.
• Reasons to include one-on-one coaching.
• Ways to iterate and scale your course.
• Using teams and peer accountability to aid in successful completion of your course.
• What are effective platforms for course creators to communicate with students?
• Working with a challenging topic or niche.
• What is a consistency coach, and how can you use one in your program?
• How to incentivize returning students, and how it can help you scale your business.

“I know there's a need for this program and that there's opportunity there. But how do I take that to the next level?”
– Aron Croft
