My life's mission is my company mission...

"To lift up others through learning"

How it's going... https://t.co/t1MFZjGZYe

I wouldn't be where I am without investing in different types of coaches, consultants, and service providers over the years.

Sometimes you need outside strategic perspective and help on strategic execution.

You're not alone.

Put people like @learnwithmattc on your side:

Every course has a personality, whether you designed it that way or not.

You can spend hours refining your brand voice, sales page, and lesson content, but the student experience is shaped just as much by the smaller things around them.

- Automated emails that sound too formal
- A cluttered dashboard
- Confusing navigation,
- Unnecessary prerequisites,

... or a lesson that ends without a clear next step can all change how the course feels to take.

That’s why it’s worth going through your own course from signup to completion as if you were a student.

Where do you hesitate?

Where does something feel more complicated, or more restrictive than it needs to be?

Those are often the places where a few small changes can make the biggest difference.

1 in 6 people live with a significant disability.

That's 1 in 6 of your potential learners in your LMS.

Most creators never check whether a screen reader can get through lesson one.

I found 5 easy fixes plus a 10-minute check. No code required.

That's why I created the Accessibility First-Pass Checklist for Online Courses.

Check a few key numbers every week and you'll beat the business that checks everything once a quarter or never.

Our team reviews a scorecard every Monday.

FYI we are "data informed" not "data diven."

I cut the metrics down to 18 metrics for a first-time education business, one column per week.

That's why I created the Precision Scorecard for Education Entrepreneurs.

From December 28, 2023 through October 31, 2026, I logged 3,621 miles across 787 runs and walks, plus 258 hours of strength training across 557 workouts.

I worked with Kevin, my online running and strength coach. I could not have done all this without him.

For me, fitness is about more than the numbers. It helps me manage stress, maintain and improve my health, find inspiration, and overcome challenges.

A CRM without a naming convention turns into a junk drawer within a year.

Then the wrong email goes to the wrong person and automations become a mess.

I found 17 tag types and 9 automation types for what a course or training based membership site actually needs triggered in any CRM or marketing automation tool.

It's the CRM organization system we run LifterLMS on.

That's why I created the LifterLMS CRM Tagging Framework for you to use.

Course, membership, or cohort?

Most people guess.

Then they rebuild a year later or close the business when it doesn't work out.

There are 8 delivery models, 5 access models, and 13 pricing models.

That's why I created the Course Business Model Explorer.

Referrals are the cheapest customers you will ever get...

Most course and membership businesses leave treferrals to chance.

I found 28 easy ways education companies get referrals.

Pick a few, calendar them, and it's a system.

That's why I created the Word of Mouth Referral Machine.

@lushkant @memberpress Nice job with this Krishna. Thanks for integrating with LifterLMS.

Great managers and leaders are kind and conscientious.

Never forget the power of saying please and thank you.

It's an effective leadership tool, but more importantly, it's part of being a good human.

Sometimes entrepreneurs and leaders get "too busy" for praise and polite behavior, but that's not cool.

As an entrepreneur, it's easy to slip into critique mode, course-correcting and providing upgrades. We're problem-solving, and that's important...

...But don't forget the human experience.

In my opinion, great leaders praise more than they critique.

And great leaders say please and thank you often.

To build, manage, and lead a great team, it's important that all team members feel needed, wanted, and appreciated.
