Hi, my name is Ryan Kingslien.
My journey to owning my own business, affecting the lives of over 10,000 students and building a name for myself in my industry all started with a boss that threatened to fire me... three times.
I remember thinking, I've worked way too hard... I've studied way too long to have someone else have this much control over my life.
Then, when my wife told me she was pregnant with our first child, I knew it was Do or Die time.
With one Amex card (with a $1,000 limit) we built our first site using Joomla and some ecommerce plugin by a UK developer that connected permissions through some sort of pinging system... Morse code?
My first class made $19,530 in two months and I was hooked!
I've since gone on to generate $6.5 million in revenue and launch over 100 courses.
Today, my business gives me the Freedom to live life on my terms. Live where I want. Focus on the things I want to focus on. Surround myself with the people I want to be around.
I'm so incredibly excited to teach you how you can do it to but the first lesson you'll need to learn is to...
If you want to break out of the 9 to 5 grind and level up your life then let me teach you my proven system for launching successful online courses.
And it is Not what you think?
What is it?
Well, before I tell you, let me ask you a question:
If you've wanted to create an Online Course for a while...
Or if you’ve created one and not had the success you know you can…
which of these applies to you:
How much of that applies to you?
I'm going to put this another way:
But...
You're stuck in:
The Employee Mindset is a way of thinking about your work and all the things someone needs to be good at their job (it’s not necessarily the same stuff you need to be an Entrepreneur.)...
One that puts aspiring entrepreneurs (just like you) on the path to pain, frustration, and confusion from the beginning…
And leads to a lot of wasted time & energy along the way.
An “Employee Mindset” is what keeps you stuck Dreaming about your life and not doing the work that matters to you. As an employee, your goal is MASTERY but as an Entrepreneur you have to learn how to build the airplane while it's in the air! Your core strategies of “being better” and “knowing more” simply lead you to delay, delay, delay. I don’t have to tell you but this is a broken strategy!
If you're like most struggling entrepreneurs, then chances are, you're operating from this employee mindset because it served you well in your career.
It helped build your career... but it won't help you build freedom in your life.
As an employee, your growth is limited by how much TIME and EFFORT you are able to put in.
The Employee Mindset creates a constant need to know more. To seek validation. A need for certainty and control. Needs that will keep you trapped.
It’s a mindset that will keep you trading time for dollars.. working harder and harder. On a direct path to burnout or boredom.
So, if creating your own online Empire seems “overwhelming” or like “an impossible dream,” it's time to breakthrough the employee mindset and starting thinking like an Entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs are do-ers.
They know that rules are important but they also know that, in life, it's about getting results.
They focus on creating wins for themselves and their customer as quickly as possible by focusing on a Minimally Viable Product to get to market quickly.
When you kick the employee mindset to the curb and start thinking like an Entrepreneur, you’ll get very clear on what you need to do to package, position & launch your online course.
You’ll reach more people than you ever thought possible.
You’ll have true job security.
You’ll make a far bigger difference than you ever dared to dream was possible.
Once you start thinking like an Entrepreneur you’ll start acting like one too. And that’s important because…
In the beginning it can seem like it’s a high school popularity contest.
You spend your time crafting the perfect social media post to tell people about your course. You act non-chalant and casual. Then compulsively check your Instagram to see the response…
Do they like me? Did anyone comment? What did they say? Was anyone mean?
But here’s the thing: this is your business.
High school students eventually grow up and realize that those who were popular aren’t necessarily successful.
Those who are successful learned that the key to success is adding lasting value to people’s lives.
I mean, can you imagine a 40 year old trying to cash in on the “success” of his high school football fame? (It doesn’t last that long.)
So why would you worry about validating yourself in the notoriously short lived attention span of social media?
Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, understand that the key to building wealth in your life and any sort of financial freedom is to add Value to the lives of others.
They know that Traditional Education is not keeping up with the pace of change in today's marketplace and the need for Experts is only going to increase.
They know that the key is to productize their knowledge into offers that help people get promotions, get started in that new career, pick up a new techique or software...
Most importantly, they know that it's crucial to ASK your customer what they need and not make assumptions!
It's important to remember...
THIS IS IMPORTANT
yES, You're the Expert...
But, in truth, your customer's don't care about you...
they care about what they need. They care about their families and how they can provide better for them. They care about how they can be happier and live a better life.
If you're course can do that then they will research it and consider it... like you're considering this course.
The problem is that most Experts, who get into the Employee Mindset, get into Tunnel Vision and think only of what a beginner "Should" know... and then create a course that bores & turns off their students.
The solution is simple. You have to...
The first key to creating a successful online course is to create a survey that does one thing: Ask your prospective students what they want to learn.
Entrepreneurs know that the more data you have the higher your chance of success so you've got to create your ASK, promote your ASK, and then debrief your ASK.
In the beginning it can seem like it’s a high school popularity contest.
You spend your time crafting the perfect social media post to tell people about your course. You act non-chalant and casual. Then compulsively check your Instagram to see the response…

Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, understand that the key to building wealth in your life and any sort of financial freedom is to add Value to the lives of others.
They know there are people far less skilled than they are making a far greater impact then they are all because those people learned how to play the game.
They understand that their job is to commit to their vision, to themselves and to launch their product.
They’re in it for the long haul and understand that every launch they do gets them closer to their goal of living life on their terms because...
