The Confession That Changed My Entire Course Strategy
I was the guy who believed everything had to be made by hand.
I wrote every script.
Designed every slide.
Recorded every lesson — again and again and again.
It was my badge of honor.
Until one day, I finally admitted it:
“This isn’t working… and I’m exhausted.”
That confession became the beginning of something far more profitable.
Why “Doing It All Myself” Was Slowing Me Down
I was stuck in perfection mode.
Everything had to be mine — from the fonts to the transitions.
But after six months, all I had was:
- A single half-finished course
- An empty checkout page
- And a growing sense that I was falling behind
I watched as peers launched multiple programs in the time it took me to polish my intro slide.
How were they doing it?
That’s when I discovered the Video Courses Collection.
What I Was Afraid to Admit
I thought using DFY (Done For You) content was cheating.
Until I realized something…
“The big names in this game? Most of them aren’t building from scratch either.”
They’re licensing, repurposing, and rebranding quality content to scale.
Why? Because it’s efficient. It works. And it’s completely above board — if you do it smart.
That realization made me take a hard look at what was really stopping me.
It wasn’t creativity.
It wasn’t strategy.
It was ego.
1/3 Into the Year… and Still No Product
By the time Q2 hit, I had invested hundreds of hours with almost nothing launched.
So I made a decision: Done is better than perfect.
I opened the Video Courses Collection, downloaded 3 trainings that fit my niche, added a fresh intro video, changed the titles, and branded the slides.
By that weekend?
✅ I had my first real course
✅ My audience had something to buy
✅ I finally felt like a course creator
Why DFY Isn’t Cheating — It’s Strategic
Think of it like real estate.
Some people build from the ground up.
Others renovate existing properties and flip them for profit.
Both are legit.
DFY content is the “renovation route” — and it’s faster, safer, and far more scalable.

My Only Regret? Not Doing It Sooner
I spent so much time trying to prove I could build it all solo…
…that I forgot the whole point was to serve, sell, and scale.
If I could go back, I’d have made this decision a year earlier.
And I hope this post is that moment for you.
