Have you ever noticed that there are certain things that you just have to experience yourself - live - otherwise they don’t really matter?

Like going to a concert live vs watching it from your couch.

It’s a night and day difference.

And it’s the same surprisingly with education.

When we were first thinking about creating the Rake Trades Mastermind, I looked at the online course scene and I saw two choices.

#1 was to create a classic self-serve course.

This means you shoot a couple of videos, segment them nicely into different chapters, and add some additional materials.

Of course, that’s a basic approach and some traders add a lot of add-ons on top of that to improve students’ experience.

#2 was to create a live course.

Which means that we basically create a small university class for a few weeks and dedicate your full attention to that course.

As you can now see we went for option #2.

And it has been the best decision we’ve made by far.

Just some fun facts to sprinkle in there:

• The average completion rate of a self-serve course is less than 30%.
• The average completion rate of our Mastermind has been 98%.
• We notice it takes an average of 6 months for a student to go from directionless to consistent profitability.
