The Power of Teaching a Formula
Teaching a formula is key for effective online teaching and selling. It provides a clear structure for transitioning from one-on-one coaching to online courses. A formula allows the instructor to convert knowledge into a step-by-step process, which enhances teaching efficacy. Formulas are effective in various fields, such as firefighting techniques (e.g., stop, drop, roll) or financial planning (e.g., Ramsey's steps to become debt-free). Formulas help learners understand concepts, stay engaged, and achieve success. Furthermore, a formula provides a clear teaching structure, ensures consistency in course content, makes teaching easier for instructors, and increases the chance of learner success.
The Formula as a Story
Formulas are like stories in an educational context. Learners become the heroes seeking victory, with the formula serving as their guide. Formulas help learners remember concepts and achieve success. Additionally, when teaching a formula, instructors are selling the process itself. Students are drawn to a step-by-step formula that leads them to desired outcomes. A formula acts as an anchor for learners, providing a tangible, clear path. It also increases their engagement, as it offers a winning journey with steps that lead to success.
Benefits and Process of Creating a Formula
Teaching a formula within a course offers several benefits. Firstly, it provides a clear teaching structure, offering learners safety, comfort, and understanding. Secondly, a formula ensures consistency throughout the course, making it predictable and building trust. Thirdly, teaching a formula makes the process easier for both instructors and learners to remember and follow. Finally, a formula increases the chance of learner success and allows them to win at each step. To create a formula, instructors should determine the desired outcome, declare the position or pathway to reach that outcome, establish a starting point for learners, and then break down the process into actionable steps that build upon each other.
Every online course or lesson should teach a formula. When you create a process your learners can follow, your teaching will become memorable and clear.
