I want to share something that happened today because it’s one of the clearest examples I’ve seen of why simplicity wins.
She's not an internet guru. She's not an overnight success. She's someone who’s been teaching her craft for 25 years.
Here’s what nearly everyone gets wrong.
Her course doesn’t teach everything.
It teaches one thing.
The promise is simple: open the box, take the machine out, learn what the parts are, and make your first stitch.
That’s it. 646 people purchased her $37 course.
She said something during the interview that stuck with me:
“I’m excellent at overwhelming people, so I forced myself to teach one thing.”
That decision changed her entire business.
Most people never launch because they try to build the perfect course. They add more lessons, more ideas, more explanations, and end up with something no beginner actually finishes.
Sookie did the opposite. She built for beginners. She focused on the first win. Then she put the course inside a Skool community so people had support after they paid.
That’s what made it work.
If you’ve ever thought about creating a course, moving something into a community, or you’ve been stuck overthinking your idea, this interview is worth watching.
If nothing else, it’ll challenge how complicated you think this needs to be.
