"I want to create an online course because I want passive income". Have you heard that? Or, have you heard the online gurus telling that this is the ultimate end game on an online course? Because, I have. Our group coaching program, Launchpad, teaches people how to create, launch and scale an online course - or improve and scale one they already have. It's a 12 month, high level group coaching program, and because we work closely with our clients we accept those we think we can help. And so, we have acceptance criteria that we assess our applications against. There are criteria that makes someone a 'hell yes!', criteria that mean we will sometimes accept someone (for example, if they don't meet ALL of the criteria but we see potential in them), and then, some criteria that are a "hell no". Anyone that mentions "passive income" or "sipping pina coladas on the beach"?

"Grow your email list" - they say.

But if you're listening to this episode, you likely ALSO know that it ain't exactly a walk in the park. So... what if I told you that you could grow your email list by 6,000 people in LESS than three months.. without a big ad budget or a single lead magnet? Because, you can. At least, Kura did!Want to follow Kura, our guest on this episode?
