3 Questions to Help You Clarify Your Online Course Calling
Friend, the biggest struggle any entrepreneur faces isn't building the business. It's clarifying the calling.
You're excited about passive income. Overwhelmed with ideas. But stuck asking: Which direction is right for me?
Even people in high-ticket coaching programs get stuck here. They just need validation. Permission to move forward.
That's what this episode gives you.
Three clarifying questions that create certainty:
- What do you already know? (Your skills, knowledge, experience - even the boring stuff)
- Who are you called to help? (The specific person you keep helping or once were)
- What problem do you see that needs solving? (This reveals the WHO and WHAT skill you need)
Here's what makes this hard:
99% of my students have totally marketable skills. But they don't see them as marketable because the skill comes naturally or everyone around them has it.
So they think: Why does the space need ME?
My story:
When I left corporate during COVID, I panicked. I needed a paycheck overnight. On a clarity call, I told a coach "I don't even know what I'm good at."
I listed things: social media, podcasting, this, that...
She looked at me like, "Obviously you have skills."
But I couldn't see them.
She told me to freelance. Fastest path to a paycheck. She was right. Never looked back.
The point?
The answer is simpler than you think.
Answer these three questions. See where they overlap. That's your framework. Your starting point.
And it's OKAY if what you start today looks different in five years. That means you helped enough people to discover a deeper calling.
You need a starting point. Not perfection.
