Recently, I launched my personal course in self-management after seven months of continuous work (the course is in Ukrainian).
Back in May, I naively thought all I had to do was record a video, and voilà—that’s a course. But I couldn’t have been more wrong.
In this course, I am sharing everything I’ve learned since university—over nine years of continuous work in self-management.
Picture this: I’m sitting in my favorite T-shirts, drinking filter coffee, recording myself on two iPhones with a professional microphone every Saturday and sometimes Fridays and Sundays throughout the whole summer!
In the videos, I share my personal screen to show what works for me and the things I tested before finding what actually worked.
I tell funny jokes—well, not always funny, to be honest—because the rainy weather in London sometimes makes me a bit melancholic. I pet my cat, share personal stories from work and life, and uncover both my failures and successes. What you see is the real me. Sometimes, it took me five takes just to switch off "Teacher Jane" and let "Jane Jane" come through.
The recordings took so long that I changed cities a few times, brought my camera everywhere, experienced ups and downs, washed my favorite T-shirts multiple times just to wear them again, and drank liters of coffee. The weather changed at least 100 times, and I gave up just as many times before cheering myself up again.
During this process, I received dozens of messages from strangers asking about the course’s start date—even when I was just beginning the recording phase.
The course was supposed to take three months, but the whole process ended up taking me four months to record and another three months to prepare. And let me tell you—it’s been a JOURNEY!
At least now, I’ve learned so much about video editing, content creation, course methodology, chatbots, YouTube specifics, marketing (beyond just courses), and the overall course production industry.
So far, I’ve already received 34 amazing feedback messages from the course launch, and I’ve achieved 1/20th of my planned income goal.
One of my friends recently said, “Your desire to give is stronger than your desire to get.” So, no matter what the results look like on January 20, when the course officially launches after the presales, I’m calling this seven-month period my bachelor’s degree in course production.
Regardless of the outcome, I’m giving myself a solid PASSED.
