Becoming The Bestselling Course Creator on Udemy: Jimmy Naraine's Story

My friend Jimmy is an absolute badass. This man has traveled to 76 countries around the world, all paid for. Jimmy used to have a desk job. He used to work for Goldman Sachs until an idea hit him and made him quit. Now, 10 years have elapsed, and Jimmy has built this lifestyle where he's hiking mountains with Wim Hof. He is participating in health and wellness challenges across the world, celebrating 76 countries visited and checked off his bucket list. And he gets to do this with the people he loves, all of which, as I said, paid for completely. What is Jimmy's secret? This is going to fascinate you. The key here is passive income. Jimmy works just a few hours a day. He works when he wants to work. But what he created was a passive income vehicle that has paid for this incredible lifestyle. His secret. Jimmy published an online course. Now, I know what you're thinking. Online courses. Isn't that something that only big companies like Mindvalley does? Actually, no. There's a wealth of platforms out there like Udemy, where anybody can create their own online course and build an audience. And it's easier than you think. This is Jimmy's story, and stay tuned, because it might fascinate you. We met because we were both walking into a party together. Back then, I get social anxiety if I had to face a large crowd. So I was standing outside the party, just breathing and just getting ready to walk into this crowd because I'm an introvert. And then I turn around and I see this other dude, Jimmy, doing the exact same thing. So we start talking, and Jimmy explains to me that he's an introvert, that he's a little bit shy, but that when he walks into the room, he knows immediately how to approach and talk to anyone, how to work the crowd, how to. And I said, what do you do? And he explained to me that he teaches confidence on Udemy. Jimmy went on to tell me that he was once an extremely underconfident person. He was shy. He was a wallflower. He didn't speak up. He had to hack his mind to teach himself to be confident. And by the time he finished hacking his own mind, he'd actually accidentally developed a protocol for training confidence. One day, some of Jimmy's friends asked him if he could train them. Jimmy decided to create a course on confidence without knowing anything about online courses. He put together what he knew and put it up on a platform called Udemy. Every few months, Jimmy would check his stats. He would refine lessons, he would tweet things, tweak the Messaging. This took him maybe a couple of hours a week. But today, Jimmy has officially trained 350,000 people on Udemy who pay top dollar for his course. He's received close to 60,000 five star ratings on Udemy to me. And his course has created a new lifestyle for Jimmy. He's been able to travel the world, live his dreams, all paid for, while helping hundreds of thousands of people all around the world deal with their confidence issues.

You know, I still vividly remember that moment when I clicked publish on my first course. And honestly, even though intellectually I understood that I could make some money, I didn't really get it viscerally right. It didn't feel real until it happened. Never forget it. You know, New Year's Eve 2013, I published my course, then we went to the cinema to watch the Wolf of Wall street with my friends. And when we came back, all my friends said, hey, let's see if you sold any courses. And to my surprise, I checked the dashboard and a few people bought my course. And that's when something shifted in my brain, right? I realized that this is possible. And if I could sell a couple of courses, certainly I can add few zeros to it, right? I can sell a thousand, 100,000, a million courses. It's just a matter of optimizing everything. And I have to say, when I made my first dollar online, my life changed forever. Just because I realized that this is a real thing, that I can actually make money online by monetizing my knowledge and helping other people. What a great combo, right? And if I can help five people, I can certainly help 5,000, 500,000. Five million. That's when it all started.

Isn't that incredible? Now the funny thing is this. Almost all of us just like Jimmy, have had to overcome something in our life that once held us back. And if you've had to overcome odds are you have a formula. If you can learn to take that formula and turn it into a teaching protocol, you may just have a package of knowledge that you could sell online. This is how you create passive income. So everybody talks about things like crypto, but what not enough people are talking about is the power to be an edupreneur. An edupreneur is an education entrepreneur, someone who can teach online and earn top dollar doing so. Entrepreneurs like Jimmy Narain are creating a whole new way of experiencing life. And by the way, here's a really beautiful side effect. When I reached out to Jimmy recently, he. He sent me this video.

Crazy to think got my entire family to make video courses. And this guy's teaching 150,000 people now. It's quite a bit, huh?

Jimmy had successfully trained his father to create his online course. And Jimmy's dad today has 50,000 students. You see, these ideas are replicable, and anybody, just like Jimmy's father can learn to do this. And when you do this, you. You've tapped into one of the greatest sources for passive income available in today's world. People are hungrier than ever to learn, and entrepreneurs have a big role to fill. And perhaps you might be interested in learning this process, too. So I invited Jimmy to teach the art of creating online courses right here on mindvalley. Our new program is called Course Pro, and you will go through everything about how to create an online course, all the way from conceptualizing the idea to scripting, to filming, to getting it out there to getting your first customer. In addition to Jimmy's wisdom, which is phenomenal for people who are just starting out, I'll bring in my experience with creating over 60 courses that collectively have pulled in $400 million in revenue, with the top course pulling in an unheard of $50 million in revenue. Now, keep in mind, these are numbers with a big company backing it. But you don't have to have a big company. Jimmy will show you how you can get started with nothing more than Udemy J.
