I felt this sharp pain in my stomach.
There I was, screaming in pain. Pulling down my swimming pants in the middle of a busy beach club.
Some people watched in awe. Some cheered, and surprisingly, some didn’t even blink an eye.
Before I realised it, I was standing naked, screaming to Mariska:
“WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK. SOMETHING HAS BITTEN ME..”
After recovering from the shock, I quickly pulled up my pants and saw a brown scorpion running across my leg to the floor.
I panicked and remembered what my biology teacher had said:
“Scorpions can kill a man in minutes.”
My heart pounded. My palms were sweaty. And my head started to feel dizzy.
Does this mean I’m dying?
I remember I convinced myself that everything was alright.
Weirdly, I was trying to distract my mind by scrolling on X.
It’s sad to learn when you think you’re dying, the last thing you do check is your DM’s. X is a bigger part of my life than I thought.
After 30 minutes of thinking about the worst possible scenarios, my mind calmed down.
Now I have great news. I’m not dead (yet), And I’m writing my daily newsletter to you.
While typing away, I realised I had experienced the same sensation before.
Only I was not bitten by a deadly exotic reptilian creature.
But I was launching a course. I was drowning because I wasn’t prepared well.
When you want to launch a course, preparation is key.
I’ve documented my successful course launches to help you prepare for yours.
I broke it down into 12 steps. You can steal and copy it.
Let’s jump in:
1. A 90-day plan.
2. Landing Page Software. (Card.co)
3. Set up payment processor ( ThriveCart)
4. Create payment pages in Thrive cart.
5. Connect ThriveCart pages to the Email provider for delivery.
6. Write your landing page.
7. Write your offer + Value stack.
8. Secure affiliate partners.
9. Write a waiting list email sequence.
10. Set up onboarding email sequence.
11. Create Hooks and story templates for affiliates.
12. Create an X Spaces planning.
( Yes, I squeezed in two affiliate links. But I only promote what I use myself.)
Go through these 12 steps. I promise you’ll NOT feel like a scorpion has bitten you when you launch.
Power to you.
