If you have an idea for a digital course or online offer, if you’re looking for a way to launch fast, or if you’d just like to get an inside look at how I’m able to create offer ideas, launch them as paid workshops, and then turn workshops into digital courses I can use to scale my business, then you need The Weekend Workshop Program – a guided digital course showing you the 4-step process I use to get paid before creating a digital course so I can go from idea to launch in less than 3 days.
