The Competency Level 3-Month Program

(The Article Writing 3-Month Competency Program that takes away the fear of writing forever).

So what's covered in the three-month course?

Course 1: Competency: (Month 1-3):
In this course you'll encounter your biggest struggles of all, because it's almost like learning a new language. Well, let's be honest here: It is a new language. And you'll have to put in seriously hard work to just get going. The first twenty-thirty hours will be the toughest. Then things will start to get a little better as you grasp the concepts and start applying them to your articles. At this stage in the course, the articles are rarely about your business/work. They're mostly about things you know very well.

E.g. hobbies, your background, pets etc. This is to make sure you settle down and don't feel the pressure of having to create something from nothing. In this stage you're drawing in from your past, and since you're telling a story, you'll be able to get in a natural flow, rhythm and drama while applying the concepts you learn in Article writing. About 60 hours (or more later) you get to a point of high competency.

Is it worth doing the three-month course or should I just go to the nine-month course?
If you simply do the three-month course you'll still have a fairly impressive command over article writing. This is because you get all the same notes/audio etc. as those on the nine-month course. The difference is just time and application. You get better at writing not because of more and more, and even more information. You get better because of application and constant fixing of mistakes. Of course the longer you're on the course, the more mistakes you make and vice versa. So you'll still get to a very, very impressive level by three months. In fact there are several of our clients who've just done the three-month course, so have no fears that it's anything other than top-notch. But you get the point, right? Three months vs. nine months are a whole different ball game.

And this isn't counting the additional bonuses. Now these bonuses aren't some stupid add-ons. They're specifically designed by me, and they're designed to take your article writing even further. But you'll find out for yourself anyway.

As mentioned before: This course is designed not as an info-dump, but true methods of learning, such as layering, and repetition are involved. Plus various media such as mindmaps, forums etc are added to make sure you get a true learning experience. And so that the learning experience translates into better article-writing, which in turn attracts better clients.

Which leads us to the nitty-gritty details...

Good question. There may be some weeks that you can't attend the live session. Every session will be recorded, so you'll get the mp3. However, this doesn't mean you can simply download the sessions.

P.S. This is the best possible course you could do. And yes, you should read the detailed experiences if you're serious about this course. They're detailed journeys of the participants from month to month as they went through the course. You'll enjoy reading them and it will give you an idea of what to expect.

P.P.S. Limited Numbers: Since I have to personally work with you every single day, I can only handle a few on this course. We never take more than 20 (and often stop taking participants long before 20). If you don't act quickly, you will be more than likely to lose your place to someone who moves quickly.

If you want your clients to take you seriously. If you want to take your career seriously and want to remove the self-doubt that bugs you all day, then take a decision and get started. The sooner you get started, the better, as you'll get the notes/audio etc. well in advance. (This just gives you an added advantage. The course will still be a solid course and you'll have time to absorb the material even if you do happen to see this page at the last minute).

Warm regards,

Sean D'Souza
P.S. If you need this course, and are hesitating, just remember that he or she who hesitates is lost. The law of nature is simple: Sow and you shall reap. You have to be prepared to sacrifice today, for even greater gain tomorrow. Like you, even I struggled from month to month. Now the copy I write, brings me tens of thousands of dollars each month. I too was scared and still am when I have to make a big decision. But I know from experience, that if I don't make the sacrifice earlier, I never get ahead in life. If you want to get ahead in life, this is your moment. Don't hesitate.
