Why Most Therapists Never Launch Their CE Course—And How You Can
If you're a licensed therapist or counselor, you've probably thought about teaching a course at some point.
You have the experience. You have the expertise.
But turning that into a continuing education (CE) course feels overwhelming.
Maybe you’re stuck wondering:
-
“Where would I even begin?”
-
“What topic would people actually want to learn from me?”
-
“How do I meet all those CE requirements?”
-
“What if I’m not engaging enough or I get lost in the tech?”
The real problem?
Most therapists never move past the idea stage because they don’t have a clear, simple path to follow.
You’re not looking for another overwhelming to-do list.
You want a roadmap. You want encouragement.
You want tools that make the process easier—and support from someone who’s been there.

PRAISE FOR COUNSELOR'S CHOICE AWARD
“I learned a lot and can use it in my everyday affairs—with clients and with family. Self-regulation was a big takeaway. I hope you continue to teach more of these.”
— TAY
“Your specific examples and interventions were incredibly helpful.”
— KC
“The scenarios presented throughout the presentation reflected the families we actually work with. This wasn’t just theory.”
— RH
“I appreciated your recognition that providers need to use the cultural lens of the people they serve. That shifted how I approach my sessions.”

This Is Your Time
You don’t need to write a book.
You don’t need a big following.
And you definitely don’t need to figure this all out alone.
You just need one helpful idea—and a little help bringing it to life.
There are therapists out there right now who need what you’ve learned through years of hard work.
Let’s build your course together—and make it simple.
Go from uncertain to paid presenter
The message is clear: You can go from uncertain to paid presenter—even if you’ve never taught before. Leo shares examples like how 3 hours of work during client no-shows can translate into $200/month passive income.
Do I need to have a topic already picked before attending?
What if I’ve never taught a course before?
Will this workshop cover CE requirements and accreditation?
How is this different from other CE course trainings?
What if I’m not good with technology or video?
What if I’m not good with technology or video?
What if you could create sustainable passive income with what you are already good at?
Therapists might realize they have limited time but feel they can’t get started with online products because of no audience, no tech skills, no email list, fear of failure, perfectionism, comparison to others, time constraints, and imposter syndrome.
Online Passive Income is really about building relationships and solving problems.
What if I told you it’s not about grinding more, having a massive audience, being famous, lucky, or even technically skilled? What if the key to success lies in something far simpler yet far more powerful—something you can tap into right now without burning out or feeling overwhelmed? You are already a master at what is needed most when building online income - building relationships and solving problems.
