• Trying to be too perfect with my initial website delayed me 7 whole months, and cost me valuable time in creating the foundation for my business

• When starting any business, you really need one core product that you will refine down to make exceptional

• There are three crucial steps to building an online course, including a massive "brain dump", creating a flow chart and beta testing the first version

• Why you need to be really cautious with who you're investing in when putting out cash early on

• There are 6 critical lessons I learned in doing my first webinars and beta test

• What key improvements I made when doing my first "real" launch, the results and still more lessons I learn to keep perfecting the launch process
