Expand your home business by offering courses on your content expertise
I am a learning design expert & veteran homeschooler who helps home business owners and solopreneurs create courses that get results by engaging their audiences.
Summit-First Framework
The Summit-First Framework is based on proven learning science principles.
The key is starting with the end goal (the summit) in mind.
Instead of presenting everything there is to know about a subject, you start at the summit: What is it that learners need to be able to demonstrate when they have completed your course?
Check out my recent podcast interview!
Cindy Bidar recently interviewed me for her Tiny Course Empire Podcast
We talk about keeping learners engaged, backward design, how to know how much content to put in a course, why it pays (literally) to pay attention to design principles, and more.

Why use course design
Your Home Business Success
Others teach how to put content into courses; I teach you how to craft the content into an effective course.
When course content is well-designed, learners are engaged and more likely to complete a course.
And, when learners complete effective courses, they are ready to purchase your next course or product.
Moving your learners through your courses ensures both their success and yours.
Learner success
Learners purchase courses because they want to learn what you have to teach them.
It’s not enough to just give them the content or process. We need to design the content in such a way that it engages learners so they succeed.
When learners succeed, you succeed!
I guide you in turning your home business knowledge into powerful, engaging experiences that resonate with your learners.
Quality courses
Your expertise is top-notch so use methods that create the best outcomes for your learners!
I teach you how to use the Summit-First Framework to create quality courses by applying proven learning science principles.
I want you to be proud of the courses you create and see the transformations you dream of for your learners.
How I teach you course design
Summit-First Framework
I offer the basics of the Summit-First Framework (SFF) as the foundation of course design for free!
Instead of learning how to divide batches of content into modules, you’ll learn the 5 easy-to-follow steps of course design using my Summit-First Framework as well as other learning science principles.
I teach you to design with a clear learner goal, walking students through the content using principles to create a clear trail map to success for them.
Personal Coaching Packages
I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching to get your home business content into engaging courses you can sell as an additional revenue stream to your business.
You are the content expert for your home business whether that's bee keeping or water color techniques. I lead you through the process from course idea to publication.
Course Reviews
For a limited number of clients with existing courses, I perform course reviews.
In these reviews, I identify 3 to 5 main areas for you to address.
I provide detailed guidance for you to follow to revise your courses based on the review.
I have a limited number of review slots available.
