Creating your own online course is now a stupid idea.
Everyone is doing it.
Over the past 5 years every man, his dog, and his dog’s cousin have been creating online courses.
The consumer has been bombarded with promises, over-purchased, and generally failed to get a result from the courses they bought.
This has resulted in market fatigue.
People have chased the shiny rabbit too many times. Now they know the rabbit can never be caught.
For a coach or an expert, it was a giant honey pot. Create it once sell it forever.
Make money while doing nothing.
This trend is ending, thankfully. Now you can learn just about anything an online course could teach you with a click of a button and some AI software.
Incidentally, this is why all the course creators are now selling courses on how to leverage AI. They’ve switched their grift.
It’s one final snatch for the gems before the security door comes crashing down.
But the people have grown wiser.
The over-saturation of low-quality courses has bred fatigue and universal mistrust.
Zero regulation and low-quality products have hurt everyone.
There’s no more fish in the shark tank, and now the big sharks are starting to eat the baby sharks
Courses to save course providers with huge $$$ to register.
Incidentally, I don’t even dare to call myself a coach because as one client said to me, “Geoff, everyone calls themself a coach these days and you are nothing like them.”
They described me as a teacher and a mentor. My daughter calls me an entrepreneur. I just think that I am here on this earth to be myself and help people.
And honestly, that’s where I think the current market is leading us.
Away from danger toward the safety of the community.
People never bought an online course for information anyway. They purchased it because they were hoping to grow.
And the growth you want won’t happen in an echo chamber while you watch videos with some guru talking.
Real tangible growth only happens when you improve your interpersonal skills.
That’s what I teach:
How to connect deeply and quickly with other people, both online and offline.
How to master the art of conversation so magnificently that no person would ever take a look at your competitors.
How to form strong collaborative communities where everyone feels connected and supported.
Enter the brave new world of online movements and communities.
Where like-minded people gather together to grow.
Where a mentor or teacher makes doing the work a communal sport.
Where you are not alone in the corner office watching coaching videos and tweaking AI Tools.
The future of the space belongs to those who have the skills to gather and inspire mastery.
Don’t buy another course.
Look for the kind of communities where you can grow to your full height.
I have always been a community creator.
I have always been a teacher who practices and refines what he teaches.
I have always tried to master human connection.
When something works for me, I take it to my community and I show them how to do it also.
This cycle of sharing and learning accelerates growth for everyone.
Communities where people are growing exponentially are never lonely places. People feel energized, excited, and inspired.
If you are not feeling this way, I guarantee that you are not currently part of a vibrant community.
In a polarized world, being part of a community where you truly belong is extremely important.
2025 is the year of community and strong relationships.
Members in these communities will see explosive growth
