feeling stuck

I’ve felt stuck or lost so many times in my life that I can’t even keep count.

In 2011, I finished grad school. The economy was still recovering from the 2008 crash. I wanted to work in finance. But no one wanted to hire me. Not a single company gave me a shot.

So I did what a lot of people do when they’re out of options. I started a business with my dad.

Before they ordered coffee or talked about the guy’s studies, they talked politics.

This is not uncommon.

How I Created an Online Course With AI in 2 Weeks (Step by Step)

No Comments

A few days after launching my course ‘Ai basics,’ I received an email from a reader:

Would it be possible to get more info on the tools you used for the course creation? (Outline, slides, recording, etc.) and for the landing page creation and promotion? I’ve started working on a course as well, but I’m struggling to choose between so many options, and they all come with pros and cons. I can’t imagine going as fast as you did.

That’s a great question. I’ll get into that in this article.

But first, I want to say: You definitely can go as fast as me. Why not?! 

It just requires you to think differently. Think in possibilities!

Let’s start.
