Baby number three is here!

Being a parent is hard, there are so many moving variables

For Kelsey, this season has been met with creating digital courses that course that add flexibility to her days
Kelsey shares three case studies from some friends that are insanely inspiring
1) Alison Prince. Alison created what is now a seven figure company while having four kids and only working 2 days a week
Does that name ring a bell or want to know how she did it? Check out Alison's episode on Whisky and Work from a few weeks ago! (episode here)
2) Wendy. Wendy went from being a teacher to creating courses in upholstering chairs. So incredibly niche, so much passion, and so successful!
3) Kristen. Kristen wanted more time to be at home with her son and husband, so she pulled her experience in bookkeeping and created courses that teach others how to do this. She has worked to create a simple business model that accommodates her traveling lifestyle.

What we're talking about…

How to outline what you really want from a course: 1) is it to check off a box or 2) getting what you need quickly to create what you want in your business and life

Kelsey dives into her experience in creating courses
How she created several courses covering an array of topics that are still far from perfect, but to this day she still gets positive feedback on them
