As we enter the last quarter of the year, I decided it would be a good idea to reflect on goals I set at the beginning of the year to see how far I've come and to assess where I'm going with my law practice in the next 3 months. I decided to reach out and invite Nicole Abboud, former host of the Gen Why Lawyer Podcast and owner of Abboud Media, a video and podcast production and marketing company helping lawyers and law firms, to chat about both of our businesses and how we plan on growing them. 

What we discuss in this episode:

  • How to make the decision to change practice areas or career trajectories when you realize you’re not happy in your current position
  • Should you experiment with your marketing or should you stick to one method to see what happens?
  • Why the client is the real hero of your marketing efforts
  • How can you figure out whom your ideal client is?
  • How we set goals for the year and how we adjust them as we go
  • Does writing down financial goals actually help?
  • What is minimalistic marketing and how can we apply this concept into our practices?
  • How to avoid giving into the madness that is social media and instead, focusing on one or 2 platforms and posting quality content on those platforms
  • How do you measure success in your business?
  • The importance of tracking potential clients and noticing trends

As a former teacher and corporate trainer, Cindy Nicholson works with entrepreneurs who have dreams of building their business beyond just trading dollars for hours. They’re ready to grow their business by offering online courses but have no idea where to start. Cindy helps walk them through the process so that they can create a course that they’re proud of and that their clients will love.

In short, Cindy helps amazing entrepreneurs turn their incredible content into effective and engaging learning material. So often, small business owners are experts in their field but struggle with how to translate their vast knowledge into an engaging, life transforming online course. They know they want to scale their business and reach a broader audience (and earn some passive income along the way) but need some help to make it happen. That’s become The Course Whisperer, Cindy Nicholson’s, calling.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

 How do people come up with their course ideas? Do most  have an outline already? know the details of the course or does Cindy help them flush out their ideas?

Sometimes, it’s hard to break down material to teachable portions when you’re an expert in your field.  Cindy shares advice for people to take a step back and think about the basics and what need to be taught. 

Resources and Platforms Cindy recommends to people thinking about starting a course.
