Facts! Success doesn’t hinge on being “first” or “original,” but on truly solving problems better. I’ve seen this play out firsthand in the course world.
This is so good! I haven't thought about courses not needing to "be original" to be successful, cause you're so right to point that out. There are other more important reasons that a course is successful.
Thank you, Janice. And you’re right there are other ways to make a course successful besides being original. One point I didn’t make in the article. Is that most original courses actually fail. There’s usually a reason that no one’s bothered to teach a certain topic.
I loved this, Rodney. Brilliant! Sometimes we just need to show up in our bathrobe, tea in hand. LOL
Stay entangled, my friend.

Being from the startup world, I'm sure you've seen many awesome products that failed because they didn't solve a real problem.

ooh that's a great point, if a course fails, it might be something people aren't looking for!
