Course Blueprint Strategy Session Resources

Hi there!

First off, I just want to say WOW and THANK YOU. I'm seriously so excited that you've decided to work together to create your amazing online course! You should feel so proud for taking this big step towards sharing your gifts with the world.

Now, let's get you prepped and ready to make the most out of our session. I've put together this handy page to walk you through everything that will happen before, during, and after we meet.

My goal is to make this a simple, positive experience for you. So don't hesitate to reach out if any questions pop up! For now though, just focus on the first step below to get the ball rolling. Then we'll take it one step at a time until your incredible course is live.

You've got this! Now let's do this!

Step 1 - Complete the Pre-Session Form

Before we meet, please take some time to fill out this important pre-session form.

This will give me key details about your coaching methodology, ideal students, course goals, and any content you may have already created.

Having this background information allows me to fully customize our blueprint strategy just for you. I can come prepared with ideas and recommendations tailored to your specific course.

Please provide as much detail as possible on the form! The more insight I have going into our call, the more value I can provide during our session.

You can leave the form and come back to complete it (it should save for you but to be safe you may want to copy your answers to a blank document if you can’t finish in one sitting.) And no need to overthink it - short sentence summaries are fine! You’ll receive an email with a copy of your answers after you submit the form.

Once submitted, I'll review your responses and start crafting a game plan for our time together. Reach out to me at sarah@sarahshoop.com if you have any questions or run into any issues.

Step 2: Prep for Our Session

With your pre-session form submitted, it's time to start getting pumped up and prepared for our big strategy session!

You should have already received a calendar invite with the link to our virtual session, along with the date and time. Please let me know if you did not get this invite! I will also send you a reminder email the day before our call so it stays top of mind.

Here are a few tips to get ready to meet:

  • Make a list of any ideas you have so far related to your course framework, modules, teaching methods, etc. We can build off of these together. Feel free to use this worksheet as a guide.

  • Get ready with any specific questions and goals for our call. I want to make sure we cover everything on your mind.

  • Have a notebook ready to capture ideas, action steps, and notes during our discussion. I’ll send you a copy of my notes and an action plan after our session along with the recording and transcript.

  • For our video chat, please feel free to come as you are - no need to get fancy with a full camera-ready look. The goal is for you to be comfortable so we can have an open, casual brainstorm.

    We will be on video so we can whiteboard concepts together and have that face-to-face connection. But don't worry if kids or pets make cameo appearances - I always welcome bonus guests! And you may get to hear my snoring pup in the background.

  • Test your internet connection, webcam, and audio to avoid any tech delays. We will use Google Meet (not Zoom) so if you haven’t used it before you might want to try it out ahead of time. We all know that internet can be finicky and doesn’t always play nice. Don’t worry if something happens. We will reschedule any time we miss whether it’s an issue on my side or yours.

  • Grab your favorite energizing beverage! We're about to do some serious brainstorming. I'll have my iced tea (unsweet please) in hand! I’m not a coffee girl. Even when it’s cold outside, I still love iced tea.

Feel free to email me (sarah@sarahshoop.com) if you want to send over your ideas or questions in advance. I can't wait for our session - we're going to map out something awesome!

Step 3: What’s next?

Once our Course Blueprint Session wraps up, the real magic happens as we start bringing your course to life! Here's what to expect next:

You'll receive a copy of all the notes, action steps, and course framework we mapped out together during the call.

I'll also send you a link to access the full video recording and transcript of our session for future reference.

Our 2 weeks of one-on-one Voxer support will begin. My username is @sshoop8 - add me so we can connect! Voxer is a free app that lets us send quick voice messages back and forth.

Once your amazing course is complete, you can schedule additional sessions with me at a discount to expand your curriculum or sharpen your launch strategy. Use this link. (https://tidycal.com/sarahshoop/course-blueprint-additional-session)

I know we covered a ton of groundwork in our session. Now comes the fun part of bringing it to life! I believe in you and can't wait to see your course come together.

Reach out anytime if you get stuck or need guidance. We've got this!

Let’s create together!
