Create a Personal Curriculum (Without Turning It Into Homework)

My guest today is a dear friend of mine. One of them goes that one over there, she's big money. And it was my guest today. Her name is Amy Porterfield. Amy Porterfield. The ever amazing Best selling author of two weeks notice, miss Amy Porterfield. Sometimes I lie to my husband, Hobie, and I tell him that I read an article about some topic I want him to pay attention to while I explain it. Because if I told him I found it on TikTok, he just instantly discounts it. Like, he doesn't pay attention. So if I tell him I read an article, he kinda leans in a little bit more. So right now, I feel like I wanna tell you that I read an article about this topic I'm going to teach you about, but the reality is I learned about it from TikTok and on Instagram as well. But it's good. So stay with me here. So it's this concept of creating a personal curriculum. And because I used to create curriculum in my corporate job and now create it for my digital courses, you better believe it caught my attention. Now a personal curriculum is all about intentional self learning.

Women were building entire self study courses for themselves. They would name the course whatever they wanted to focus on. Let's say it's gardening one zero one, And then they would fill out a Google Doc with the books and the podcast and the videos and the research and even the homework assignments that they were going to do to learn about this topic. And I've seen women talk about all different topics from learning a new language, discovering French cooking, studying different events in history, and just really diving into that event and learning everything about it. So that's what it's looked like online, and I've been eating it all up. Like, these women are creating their own syllabus for what they wanted to learn. And usually, it's a month. So they'll say, okay. It's January, and the personal curriculum for January looks like this. And then they just share what their personal curriculum is. And I'm, like, watching all these videos.
