    Chapter nine, structuring your four week bootcamp coaches. Ramit Sethi has an idea for a course that teaches people how to earn an extra 1, 000 a month. Exciting stuff, right? But here's the thing it's 2009, and he doesn't want to spend countless hours creating the course only to hear crickets when he launches.

    Talk about a waste of time and energy. So what does Ramit do? He decides to sell the course to a small test group before he even creates the full program. Genius move. By doing this, he's able to validate that people actually want what he's offering. And not just that, he can gather valuable feedback from the test group to make the course even better.

    Fast forward a bit, and Ramit's Earn 1K course is a smashing success. People are raving about it, and the full launch goes off without a hitch. All because he took the time to validate his idea and get feedback from real people before diving in headfirst. And that, my friend, is the power of selling before you create.
