Lessons in Business Growth, Burnout, and Finding a Better Way with Melody Johnson

Send us a text

In this episode of Here's What I Learned, I'm joined by Melody Johnson, founder of The Course Consultant, to talk about creating courses, redefining success, and designing a business that truly fits your life.

Melody shares her journey of taking a 10-month break from business after adopting two special needs children—and what it meant to return with a new perspective on offers, availability, and boundaries. We dive into the reality of course completion rates vs. customer satisfaction (hint: they're not the same thing), how to build flexible offers that fit your actual life instead of just looking good on a sales page, and the importance of setting boundaries and how to communicate them to clients.

Topics:

• Adjusting her business as a new mom (02:10)
• Setting and communicating boundaries (04:41)
• Transitioning from an agency model to a solopreneur (09:58)
• Considerations for creating courses (11:34)
• Making courses accessible (19:33)
