What We Aim To Do
The Reality of Running an Online Course | An Interview with Colleen Welsch
Transparency in the online business space is rare, which is part of why I love talking to Colleen Welsh. She's open, honest, and willing to discuss the less-than-glamourous side of being a business owner.
In this conversation, we discusses the challenges of setting up a business, the importance of organization and templates, and the overwhelming responsibility of having an audience. Colleen also talks about the drawbacks of being a course creator and coach, including the difficulty of controlling the outcomes for students and the mental strain of feeling responsible for others' success. She offers advice on building an exit plan for your business and emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself and making decisions that align with your values.
