Why I'm Ditching Video Courses (And How It's Better for You)
How camera anxiety led me to create a more intimate, effective learning experience through email-based courses
I’ve been working on a course for some time now - the 4-Step Adaptive Growth System (more info below!), but I’ve been struggling with the delivery. I have the outline, the script, even the worksheets and such to go with it.
But every time I sit down to record a lesson, my anxiety kicks in. I panic. And no one is watching but the tiny camera on my laptop. (This is why my TikTok efforts crashed and burned.)
In order to get around my anxiety and serve others, I’ve decided to do a post/email-based course for paid subscribers only.
Eventually, I’ll have multiple on here so no matter what, you can access all of them for a relatively low cost compared to other platforms, and everything will be either in your inbox or in a special section called “Courses” on my Substack publication.
Paid subscribers will also get discounts to my products in my Etsy shop - everything from tools and guides for youth baseball teams, travel and budgeting tools, apparel, and more.
This decision is a win-win for me and for you.
No more anxiety attacks for me
No additional logins or platforms for you
Multiple, new courses at no additional cost to you
Discounts to all my tools and resources
Now back to the aforementioned 4-Step Adaptive Growth System
You're exhausted, frustrated, and constantly feeling lost and trapped in your situations despite your best efforts…
Here’s the brutal truth: No amount of pushing will fix a broken engine.
Just as NASCAR champions would never enter the Daytona 500 with neglected equipment, you cannot escape your storms with compromised personal systems.
My 4-STEP ADAPTIVE GROWTH SYSTEM will help you be transformed from a struggler to a victor by:
Diagnosing Your Hidden Performance Killers
Precision-identify the exact friction points draining your potential—often hiding in plain sight. Until now, you've been fighting invisible enemies. Let’s make them visible, measurable, and conquerable.
Eliminating Deep Rooted Self-Sabotaging
Methodically remove the subconscious patterns that have been hijacking your progress for years. This isn't surface-level "motivation"—it's removing the hidden brakes you never knew were engaged.
Rebuilding Your Mental Engine for Maximum Life Changes
Install championship-caliber systems engineered specifically for your unique strengths and challenges. Like a master mechanic rebuilding an engine block by block, you'll reconstruct your approach to a better future with power and efficiency.
Activating Your Victor Performance
Experience the exhilaration of thriving instead of just surviving. With your new systems fully operational, what once felt impossible becomes inevitable—with less strain, greater confidence, and sustainable energy.
THE CRITICAL DECISION MOMENT
Pushing harder in broken systems isn't perseverance—it's the definition of insanity.
The most successful people in every field understand a fundamental truth: Systems beat willpower every single time.
Give yourself permission to pause. To repair. To rebuild. Whether it takes 90 days or a full year, this recalibration will transform your capacity to achieve what truly matters.
THE DIFFERENCE IS WAITING
Between the life you've been struggling in... And the life you were designed to live.
The system opens on August 1st. Subscribe now for early notification, exclusive pre-launch training materials, and guaranteed access before spots fill up.
I should do this. I hate the camera so much! I was vindicated when I saw the latest LinkedIn stats which had video (once the darling of social media) trailing every other form of content. I will try to do something similar.
Great piece. The example was clear and quickly able to reflect on my own mistakes.
This step: "identify the exact friction points draining your potential" aligned with my a piece I'm working on this morning.
I'm writing a first 60-day reflection and discussing a few things I found out about myself and how I can adapt my outbound connection efforts to better fit my skillset and personality (I have the same 'I don't do thinks to go viral' mentality that keeps my TikTok universe non-existent).
