Stop wasting your days and weeks creating your course outline. Get those days and weeks back by having it done in 25 minutes... or less.

Hi. My name is Ian Stables. I created the outlines for most of my 42 courses in less time than most instructors take to decide what to teach. I didn't use the usual methods taught, automated technology, or have a guru or coach. I used a method I created based on a simple idea I discovered in an old book. I call it, The 25 Minute Shopping List Method. It works and it will work for you.

This simple step-by-step method will allow you to easily create a ready-to-record online course outline in 25 minutes or less.

I used to take weeks creating an outline. Which meant I couldn't start recording until this was done. I would try to brain dump everything on a page. Then I had the nightmare of adding, deleting and sorting everything in the right order.

I knew there had to be a better way. Every method I found in books, videos and online products made the process more complicated, not less. They also still took a long time, which is not the solution I wanted.

Then I found a simple idea. It was too basic to use as it was. There needed to be a lot more included. However, over the next five weeks I worked on it and built a complete and simple method. Now, I decide on a topic and have a ready-to-record course outline in less than 25 minutes. It works every single time.

Outline creation doesn’t have to be a struggle. When you have a simple, repeatable plan, it’s actually easy.

This method is designed to create the type of course many people say they want. Plus, the structure makes it really easy to record all your lectures.

The 25 Minute Quick List Method is easy to use. Give it a try and you'll find creating quality course outlines a lot easier and faster. Just follow the steps every time you need a new course.

- Simple Main Section Lister that builds the skeleton in less than 5 minutes

- Action Step Listing Methodology that builds out each section in minutes
