Create Income Security by Teaching What You Know
A Simple & Sustainable Way to Create Income Security is to Share Your Existing Knowledge and Experience
“I’ve survived many ‘tsunamis’ in my lifetime: two divorces, multiple job losses, raising a child alone, enduring challenging health issues, etc.
I’m sure you have, too. Sharing your experiences—and the lessons they taught you—with others can significantly impact future generations.
Whether in mini-courses or mini-books, distilling your experience and expertise into easily digestible bite-sized lessons can create an income stream while impacting others eager to learn from your life experience.”
What Would Others Pay You to Share?
Everyone on the planet—including you—possesses topics that they know frontward and backward.
I call these Authority Topics (ATs). They might come from a hobby you love, your career training, or your educational accomplishments.
Packaging your ATs into easily understandable and digestible bites to create mini-courses is a fun, helpful, and rewarding way to establish your expertise.
Your inner critic, that inner part of you that has always discouraged your grand plans, will tell you:
“Absolutely not! You have nothing worth sharing with anyone.”
Don’t listen to that nonsense. I’m here to tell your inner voice to STFU! 🤫
Real-Life Examples
EXAMPLE 1️⃣ Maybe you were a single parent. No big deal, right? A lot of people were.
What if you created a 6-10 lesson mini-course sharing the top ten challenges you faced and how you overcame each one? You could provide some recommendations for other single parents so they’d have an easier time.
EXAMPLE 2️⃣ Maybe you took a two-year career break to care for your dying father and never spoke of it again.
That experience could also be the foundation for a course or mini-book for others facing this decision. Perhaps you went into the situation a bit blind and came through the other side thinking, “If I knew going in what I know now, I’d do many things differently.”
EXAMPLE 3️⃣ Now that you're retired, you could view your medical training as a waste of time.
You could also view it as a springboard to writing courses and workshops for those aspiring to the same path. What’s to stop you?
Getting started is easy…
Why Should You Believe Me?
Because These Examples are from my life.
Over the past two decades, I’ve drawn from my ATs to write blogs, host workshops, create and teach online courses, write books, and consult with clients facing similar life issues.
I also know that you can do the same.
“All you need is a workable solution to a common problem that you experienced, and a way to tell people about it.”
