“Now that I pushed myself through the course, I’ll be more willing and less fearful, quite frankly, of exploring the topics further. Going through the course shows the reality of my situation, good or bad, which can be a difficult pill to swallow. Laying it out there, however, is my call to action, which is better than the alternative of not doing anything.”

How It Works

Fully Online

This is an online course that can be accessed with any device (we would recommend using a computer) that has internet access.

8 Chapters

There are eight individual chapters, which are detailed in the above section. The chapters are individually released over the first eight weeks of the course allowing students to immerse themselves in one topic at a time. This allows you to immerse yourself in one topic at a time, minimizing overwhelm and allowing you to soak in as much knowledge as possible!

90 Days of Access

Students have access to the course information 24/7 for 90 days from the course start date. Therefore, you can access the information when it works best for you. There are eight chapters, so by having the course accessible for additional time this allows several weeks for students to re-read chapters and/or catch-up if life happens.

Weekly Emails

Each week of the course you will receive an email from your course coach introducing the week’s topic, providing encouragement, and there may even be a joke or two included. These emails are to remind you to dive into the course material so that you reach your goals for taking the course!

Individualized Email with Instructor Weekly

As part of each chapter, there are prompted questions/discussion points for a communication with the course coach. You choose which items you want to discuss with your instructor. You have the sole discretion to determine how much you want to share with your instructor. Each student receives a personalized, timely response to these communications. This ensures you have a personalized experience throughout the course.

Progress Tracker

Once you enroll in the course, you have 24 hour access to course materials for the 90 days. MPower Co uses Thinkific to deliver the course content, which tracks each students progress. This allows you to know where you left off so you can pick up right where you left off.

Downloadable Worksheets

 Throughout the course there are a number of downloadable worksheets (digital assets inventory, an expense tracker, to name a couple). You are able to download the blank form, edit them, and retain them in your records.

No-Stress Self Assessments

Throughout the course there are quizzes to test your knowledge. These are only for fun, as no grade is given. They’re simply a chance for you to test your knowledge. Quizzes are confidential.
