The Bones
This lesson is where your outline starts to flex. Once you've built the bones of your talk — 20 to 30 solid bullet points — you're sitting on way more than just a talk. You’re sitting on potential products, and Sue walks you through exactly how to expand those points into workshops, classes, books, templates, or coaching programs.
We’re not just building a talk — we’re building an empire, bullet by bullet.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- A talk should have:
- 10–20 bullet points for shorter talks or motivational content
- 20–30 bullet points for workshops or in-depth trainings
- Check your list: Is the order right? Is the flow logical? Anything missing or out of place?
- Bullet points can become:
- Slides for a keynote
- Chapters in a book
- Modules in a course
- Topics for a digital product or template
- Coaching program framework
- Try flipping your content:
- Turn your vertical list into horizontal section headers
- Expand on each one — now they’re titles, chapters, or modules
- Some bullets will naturally expand into robust content — others might be slim. That’s your clue to either go deeper or combine it with something else.
📝 Workbook Prompt (pages 23-24):
Choose 10–30 bullet points for a topic.
Then:
- Flip each bullet into a section title.
- Write sub-points or content underneath each one.
- Ask yourself: Could this be a product? A class? A full-on course?
The possibilities are already inside your outline — this is how you bring them to life.
