I’m not a designer.

Only thing is, there are annoying little things that tend to get in the way.Sometimes these “things” are little mindset gremlins. But more often than not, they are creative and technical skills that seem just out of reach, like building a website or creating a cover.Does that sound familiar?I work with my clients to get clear on what their end game is, and to develop a solid strategy with actionable plans to get there.But I also coach them and help them acquire “mini online business skills” required in our internet economy, so they can thrive in taking their expertise to market.Whether in a corporate role or a solopreneur, it is only through clarity, skill acquisition, and focused action that growth can be achieved, both for business and for personal fulfillment.I bring 20+ years of corporate experience in applying technology and smart work processes to business growth, and share that experience through my courses, ebooks and of course, in person.Course CurriculumIntroductionOverview (4:07)The ing Point: A Bland Document (0:59)The CoverImportance of The Cover PageChoosing And Placing A Cover Image (4:12)How To Add A Transparent Colour Overlay (1:49)Titles and subtitlesTitle, Subtitle and Originator / Author NameAdding Titles To The Cover (10:18)Headers & FootersHeaders and Footers that RockCreating Engaging Headers & Footers (3:40)Beautifying the main documentStyles: the Backbone of Text FormattingFormatting Headings and Main Text (5:42)Creating The PDF VersionExport The Finished Product to PDF (1:19)Always Use PDFWrap UpSummary (0:59)
