Greg Greg: I'm curious to find out whether you think there's the need for information-based goods? Do you think that this is something we should be looking into or do we need to implement a comprehensive training?
Danny This reply is great which is that there's always a need for knowledge. There are many individuals who buy books. Amazon is quite a bit like the largest bookstore in the world as they provide many books. It's fantastic. It's an amazing informational product. There's always people interested in knowing more and that's fine. You don't have to spend an additional fee to get the information. If you're selling information you must be able to sell a lot of it in order to generate impressive sums of cash. If you're trying to find out whether they are selling information or educational materials, it's dependent on the particular subject matter and the type of change you wish to make. If you'd like to turn into Jim Collins and you want to inspire a larger set of management to look at the potential opportunities they offer their business. If you can do it and be successful, congratulations. Write and promote books which will likely attract a large number of readers that look at them. They will most likely ignore them, but there are some who might take some of your suggestions. Some may employ the services of a professional to meet with them and then spend thousands. If you're considering reaching a lesser quantity of individuals of thousands, hundreds or tens of thousand more than million, and wish to aid to make a bigger impact, you ought to think about education as an option. It's all about your goals and the things you'd like to accomplish and the impact you'd like to make. The information is all around and there's a need to educate. This is a challenge when people confuse the distinctions between them and believe they're all the same.
Greg Greg Greg Greg think this is an awesome idea, and there's plenty of it. I'm an avid supporter of the educational aspect of everything. There are many aspects to education that I believe to be essential in some circumstances. But, as these lines get fuzzy and blur to consumers. A lot of people engage in pursuits of information and claim to be useful even though they're simply throwing facts at you. What's the motive we're concerned with? This is me being a Devil's advocate. This is not something that I would be able to agree with however, in the event that I could explain to customers, "This is a course which is an educational product" There's not any support in the background this course's goal is to present facts. There's a good chance that many individuals are using this. They care about making a sale however, they're not thinking about the repercussions that follow. Why should I be concerned over what's going to happen next? It's not difficult to imagine that you're concerned about this.
Danny This is a fantastic question. Although it's not the opinion of you, but I'm fairly certain you're making a statement that isn't substantiated. This is the main element of the issue that I'd like to clarify. This is a typical assumption the majority of customers. In business it is likely to come up when you'll be faced a number of situations where you're confronted with making the exact business choice in order to make more money, and doing the right thing is the most effective choice. What I see in business is that they're identical. If you take the example of, it could be possible to increase the number of people who join through creating classes that aren't really the issue, but merely a collection of info which will be distributed to the public informing them they're receiving an offer that isn't. Another thing to take into consideration is that the number of refunds will grow, and customers will feel disappointed, and they're likely to not be pleased. That means you're likely to retain that cash and you'll confront an important issue in the customer service aspect, in addition to many different aspects. The issue is to ensure that the general public understands your values and beliefs they are a part of. They won't want to work with your company. In the present, the boundaries aren't as clear like they were earlier. Additionally, there's an absence of teachers who are educated. While writing Teach and Grow Rich in my specialization I was the sole one. So, I'm happy to announce that Teach and Grow Rich was not that long since its release. It began in September. The time has come to register to participate in the program for March. It's a mere six months. Just recently, it was discovered that there would be a major launch of a new initiative built upon LinkedIn Marketing, by Josh Turner The company has developed a similar model to ours that we are recommending as part of the program. I'm just finishing an exchange and am scheduled to talk this week with a person who's an expert in coaching. He says "I love the work you're doing and I'd like to join in too." It could be in the middle of summer. The trend is beginning to gain momentum and, once it gets more famous, people will be aware of the things to be looking for. they'll be able to identify what they're searching for and will be able to ask "So you're suggesting that you have support. But what is that really referring to?" "Oh there's a forum online in Facebook in which I can register for chats with other students. It's true, but it's not nearly assistance as you'd like. It's su-port." You may be able to achieve eventually However, constructing your company around items that are attainable for a bit longer isn't the best idea in the world of business.
Greg Greg have your thoughts. In the past, I've mentioned that my first online course was launched ten years ago. It's not my thing any longer as I'm now trying to assist other students develop their own courses. In fact, it's taken quite a while when I first thought about this idea. The main source of my income is through referrals and reviewers as well as users looking for online reviews. If you're seeking an immediate profit, then this may be in the short term and you should not thinking about the primary reason behind the game. This is a continuous passive income stream.
Danny Danny as well, and the most important thing is that here. A lot of people believe it's a question about how to create content that does not give any support? or educational-related products that have plenty of support? Naturally, when you have lots of support comes an enormous price and the necessity to find instructors. Additionally, you'll need to respond to emails. There is no false contradiction. There are two choices. It's impossible to be effective if you're forced to give a massive amount of aid. It's crucial to find the time to dedicate the energy and time required in order to reach a point that you're able to deliver your training efficiently without large amount of aid. The way we teach is founded on the assumption that you must be able to take care or take these exams. It is therefore crucial to develop a test version of your program prior to teaching the class. You must be involved as well as assist your students with any issues where they might need assistance. Find out where they're stuck, the difficulties they're dealing with. You can then modify your plan so that they don't need them any longer. Repeat the exercise and then put it on semi-autopilot. It can be performed with coaches, or any other person that needs aid. Once you've reached a stage where you've reduced your process to the degree that you can or as little as possible within our laboratory for creating the courses, every student gets assigned a teacher who is a single individual. As the subject is a bit complicated although the method is simplified the process isn't sufficient. Another course we took there was a program called Write Like Freddy and we ended it to revamp the program. The plan is to resume this program under the name"Standout Guest Posting at time soon. This will offer less assistance, but certainly not one with a commitment to the instructor as it's a easier course and there's no requirement. So, it's not necessary in order to arrive at a point that everyone has a committed instructor, and the huge expense of overhead. You just have to be willing to invest the time to go through the process to cut down on the amount of data you share with your opinions until it's economically feasible.
Greg It's great to have participated as I'm sure that's the cause of anxiety. This was was a concern for me when I first introduced my course up and in the past I've thought about it since I established my coaching company. would the course expand? Does it have the capacity to be scaled? There are people who have tried this as well as seen other people doing it and have the potential of expanding. Your business's size is within the thousands of companies that have risen, but your focus is now on coaching aspects of your process. Your business is scalable and I'm impressed because your approach is similar to the Lean Startup in the industry of software.
Danny is also important is important to keep your eyes on this when talking about scale, and in the context of the ability to scale with classes similar to an application. What is the best way to grow my company to an extensive number of customers, without the requirement for human interaction? This is a straightforward method to expand, however there are a variety of choices. Zappos is a massive business, and they're able to claim that they have an massive human-to-human interaction. But this doesn't mean that there's any interaction with humans. But it is a feasible technique to scale which will be cost-effective for all sizes.
Greg Which is the number on which you're trying to get a certain percentage of both coaches and students? Are you able to define a gold standard you're looking to reach in terms of the proportions?
Danny Danny absolutely is dependent on the topic because of the topic and the outcome will be likely to determine what is the right price and how much effort is required. After you're finished with your time, it's been able in balancing two opposing elements. One is that you need to make sure that each child receives all the help they need for success. This usually means fewer students per coach, instead of greater. However, in the opposite of this, you must be sure you're earning profits, and are profitable that means that you've got greater number of students for each coach. Therefore, it is crucial to strike the right balance, which is profitable in addition to ensuring that your students get every assistance that they require. If you don't go through the the lean startup technique, you're unlikely to achieve the desired results as it's difficult to achieve those numbers without an effective course that is well-designed and effective.
Greg The issue is: If you had more time to devote to teaching resources during the course Do you prefer less one-on-1 communication via email or phone or having them be in small groupings with the instructor? There are a few instances when I've had more than 12 students to a class, and responses of the students was overwhelmingly favorable. However, I've observed that I'm speaking first, so it's difficult to learn many things from everyone. They are able to ask questions, however the individual participants don't share their thoughts or express themselves similarly since you're given approximately 2 to 3 minutes in the two or one hour hours of coaching. There is a good chance that people in the group can benefit from one another. Would you consider there's any advantage to group coaching sessions as well as one-on-one coaching sessions, within the context of having a limited time for coaching?
Danny Danny Answer is an outstanding question. This is a very complex issue because it's dependent on the topic. Certain topics are very delicate. If you're helping someone learn ways to handle situations that are highly dependent on their friendship or relationship, they might not want to talk about the issue in front of others. The issue isn't just about the subject as to how delicate it's likely to be but how private the question will going to become. It's also about the method of coaching. In the lab, we have builders that discuss their work. One of the most common ways to get assistance is sending an email. If you email your query and get a response from your coach within 24 hours, as often as you want. Additionally, we have sessions. We make individual calls at crucial points during the course, and we make sure that you're on the right path prior to you begin the next phase. Also, we provide phones in the office, which means that every day, we will make calls to you that last approximately 45 minutes. Open-call works with Zoom precisely like this one users can connect and talk to the court and ask queries. We are constantly looking at alternative ways to conduct business. Also, we're considering the possibility of group-based coaching where you can schedule sessions lasting ten or fifteen minutes in 90 minutes of your working hours. We're looking at long-term strategies, like meetings where people participate in a group at the same time. If someone is experiencing difficulties in dealing with a problem and may be able to attend a session with at most four coaches in order to work through the issue. In all of the above the things we're focusing on are two principles. In the first, is it possible to assist our students to perform better? Are we reducing coaches' time? In the end, it is recommended to blend both. However, at a minimum the one must exist which does not impact one in a way that is harmful to one.
Greg I believe it's great. In addition, from a corporate standpoint, I'm delighted by the manner in which you're reviewing your metrics in addition to making minor adjustments that are beneficial and advantageous, which is great. It was an in-depth discussion of the pilot program But could you provide the readers with an overview of the pilot project? It's likely to be within your book, however I'm not certain how much it will be. However, the outline of what you do in this pilot plan is crucial for me. Your method is to guide students' expectations throughout the pilot course.
Danny The reason for asking this question is that it's an idea which is revolutionary. What does this mean is to tell your clients the truth. It's crucial to tell the truth, and to state it's not a finished or polished item. The program is experimental and is being tested it's my first time doing this. It's a test of my assumptions. What I'm trying accomplish through this examination is looking to hear opinions about things that will improve the efficiency of it. You'll pay fifty hundred dollars and one million bucks. No matter what. However, my students who took part in the pilot program get the course at no cost or for a reasonable cost to share feedback. It's a essential. It's impossible to get the product at a lower price due to the fact that the item isn't functioning, however the price is still fair since the value is there. I'm looking for feedback which is why I'm paying the part of the money, then partly using feedback you provide. This is how you should go. If they are aware it's the case, they're excited and thrilled in the prospect of working together in a particular way. In my publications, I talk about collaboration's significance, and its importance in a commercial perspective. However, the majority of people are open to collaboration because they know that collaboration isn't intended to endure forever. They're looking at it from the perspective of how this design compares with how the completed course imagine it to look and what's the possibility of the situation in question, and what can you do to offer constructive feedback and aid in unlocking the possibilities?
Greg Amazing When people work together in a project, they will appreciate their efforts more. This can result in the following class or course, as well as recommending this to others or give it a high rating. It's incredible to witness this and I am amazed by it. This is a fantastic idea. Make sure that your customers are honest and open. Inform them "Hey this is a trial. We're inviting you to submit your ideas."
Danny Danny precisely the way it transpired within my group of students. One of my students shared a blog post from our class of students who shared their experience of the first time they had the opportunity to train as an airline pilot. They designed their pilot before selling it to an idea that we've created. They were able to recruit new participants to the board. They are currently giving their first course and recording it with Zoom because that's the platform on which our courses are recorded using. The students had been working with Zoom's Free version of Zoom and didn't realize that Zoom ceases recording after 40 minutes. The class stopped after 40 minutes after which the class was over. Then, she was required to start a new session after which everyone returned to normal. Her reaction was utterly humiliation. One of her students told her "Well it's the way pilots work. It's what they do." They are aware of this and extremely well-informed. If you claim you've got an exact version that is refined that is happening, students are likely to be annoyed. If you're honest about the problem people will love this way of conducting things.
Greg: Yes, that's great. As I've seen feedback loops are able to last long after a pilot has gone, as well. If you start using this approach, it will not ever be able to stop. Consider the billion-dollar businesses like Slack and Slack and Slack that were both founded by the feedback loop of co-creation, and keep adding it to their processes and continuing to develop the loop. This is an essential part of their expanding factor I believe.
Danny: Absolutely.
Greg Greg The issue is there is a second question that I want to address. This is a major problem. It's the simple form: is any one educated? It's likely you'll see that kind of larger image along with the challenges which people have to face. This is why I'm planning to stay on. Are there any people that are online, and can create online educational materials and also be able to teach?
Danny Danny answer to this query is an excellent answer. The answer, however, is yes, but it's. In addition, not all people can be a teacher, nevertheless, you need to be able to display what the general public needs to understand as well as be able to communicate relevant information effectively and in a meaningful method. Both are skills. However, the bar is significantly lower one than people believe. In terms of having an item that people like Many individuals believe they're experts in my field however there's no seven doctoral degree degrees as well as three top-selling titles. This is right. The only reason you don't need it because I believe it can be said that you are now an expert. It's not about pretending you're an expert in some area that you aren't know, but rather to recognize how valuable what you've learned and how you could profit from it. Second graders aren't concerned about how you're performing during the fourth year, or 8th grade, or whether you have a PhD or not, they're keen to help them with their multiplication tables and any other goals they're trying to accomplish. Once you reach a certain point beyond this, any additional data or information becomes ineffective. It gets in the process of. The more you learn typically to improve the knowledge the things you know, the more likely you will be slightly more challenging in your in understanding your students. Teaching is a skill and a craft. There are some who are knowledgeable, skilled instructors. Certainly, not every person can be the most effective teacher in the world. It is true for asking "Can anybody write? There's no way to guarantee each person will to become Malcolm Gladwell, but most individuals can be taught to write better than they are. You can be taught how to write in a style which is so good that it's effective. A similar approach to teaching can be used. It's possible that you're not the best teacher all over the globe, but you'll be able to teach efficiently and effectively. The most crucial actions to be taking is to restrict your knowledge of what you're trying to teach and I usually discuss this issue in my writings. Additionally, it is important to perform the process of piloting because many of us don't realize the fact that teaching is an acquired method. Being able to teach the specific portion of a subject in an occurrence is a learned skill. However, do you have the capacity to produce this kind of result which is successful in the very first attempt? It's possible, but most likely you won't. Are you able to reach a point that you can do well when you have done it a few times, receive feedback, and continue to improve? Most likely. While not everyone has the ability, the majority of people are able.
Greg"Great This is amazing and I'm sure you've heard this before. One time one person could use the tactic of having his coworkers approached him and ask "Hey do you want to help me with this?" The answer was extremely specific. There was only one gadget which he employed for his job. He developed an online course the intention of preventing people from disrupting the work process. He said "Here is your opportunity to gain knowledge from my course." He then began to take off. He resigned his position and moved to a beach in the far reaches of the. He is staying there with his entire family, with his daughter, teaching full-time on the internet. There is no recognition as a famous person, no large mailing list and no influential job. There is a good chance that there is plenty of people who know more about this subject. However, he set out and created the course was designed by him. And he didn't even make use of every tool available on the marketplace, instead focusing on a specific area using it that people constantly asked concerns concerning. Therefore, I believe that it's a chance to have a significant impact because you've mentioned that perhaps not everyone could work for you However, it is possible to identify particular areas of interest and learn the techniques to master them.
Danny Danny: Which child did not show his schoolmates the way to be successful? Most of us are. This isn't meant to suggest that you're the greatest educator anywhere on earth, but it's meant to say that demonstration, teaching and communication are all a aspects of our human nature. That's why, regardless of whether you're a success in your work is in this field and it's not an indication that you're a completely new concept.
Greg: Yes, definitely. Awesome. This will be extremely beneficial. I'm sure that each member of our audience will gain tremendous benefit from this. Check out Danny's books Teach and to Rich. This is an excellent book that provides great insights, starting with a test of the course using certain types of pattern that is common in this industry and in the marketplace as well as how you can get maximum benefit from these patterns and that you are able to guarantee your students will be able to use them in the future. in the future will get an advantage in playing the game. Thanks, Danny. I am truly grateful for the time you spent with me. Your thoughts on this topic are extremely valuable and I'm excited to engage in future discussions with you in the near future.
Danny: Greg I am so grateful to you for hosting me. It was a pleasure. I'm looking forward to hosting this event in the future.
