Let’s talk about the thing haunting your Google Drive…

You launched your offer over a year ago.
People LOVED it. The DMs rolled in. Your Stripe account smiled.

But lately…
You peek at the portal and think: “Is this still… it?”

Spoiler alert: it might not be.
Welcome to your ✨ curriculum upgrade era ✨.

Whether your tech stack evolved, your ICA got smarter, or you’re just not as jazzed about your old slides as you used to be – it’s time to do a little digital spring cleaning.

So, how do you know it’s time to update your program curriculum?

Here’s your tell-me-the-truth checklist:

• You’re answering the same client questions on repeat (like a broken funnel).
  
• You watch your own video and cringe so hard you pull a muscle.
  
• Tech has changed. The market has shifted. YOU have grown.
  
• Your once-superstar program feels more “meh” than magnetic.
  
• Results are trickling in instead of gushing.
  
• Your competitors? Suddenly way too close for comfort.
  
• You’re starting to sound like a tutorial from 2018. Oof.
  

If even one of these hit, it’s time to revise, remix, or retire pieces of your group program’s curriculum.

Phase 1: Audit Without Panic

Let’s not throw the whole thing in the trash just yet.

Instead, run your program through this no-fluff audit:

• Watch it like a student. Are you still delivering transformation, or just filling air time?
  
• Mute the video. Do the visuals carry their weight or fall flat?
  
• Listen podcast-style. Are you engaged and clear, or giving “just woke up” energy?
  
• Ask a trusted friend or team member to watch and roast (kindly). Fresh eyes = gold.
  

Then go module by module and label:

• Keep
• Tweak
• Trash

Phase 2: Fill the Gaps (Without Overstuffing)

Now that you know what’s staying and what’s going, it’s time to re-map your brilliance.
Here’s how to do that without turning your 6-week group program into a 17-module monster:

1. List out what’s working.
   
2. Add what your students actually need now — not what you feel like teaching.
   
3. Reorganize into phases or modules that build momentum.
   

***Think of it like building IKEA furniture: if the order’s wrong, the thing wobbles.

Phase 3: Enter Creation Cave Mode

This is the “cancel plans, wear the same sweatshirt for a week, and accidentally launch a new obsession with Notion” phase.

Tips to survive it:

• Start with the section you’re most excited about. Momentum is a better motivator than perfection.
  
• Batch lessons that connect so your brain doesn’t have to hopscotch.
  
• Overestimate the time everything will take. You will get distracted by Slack, snacks, or sudden existential dread.
  

And hey – just because you’re updating doesn’t mean you can’t still sell. Pull mini trainings from what you’re working on and share them. What feels “obvious” to you is often breakthrough content for your audience.

Phase 4: Prep Your Audience for the Re-Glow-Up

Before you whisper a word about the new version, answer this:

• What’s changing?
  
• When’s it coming?
  
• Will the price go up?
  
• Will current students get access?
  

DO 👏 NOT 👏 GUESS 👏
Concrete info only. Moving-target timelines = trust killer.

When you’re ready to tease it out, do it in a way that builds buzz, not just “it’s coming!” shrugs.
Your audience needs a reason to care, and an incentive to act now.

---

Serving Current Students During the Transition

Even if you’re updating, it doesn’t mean the existing program is useless.

Tell your students:

• Which modules are still 100% relevant
  
• What to implement now vs. what to hold off on
  
• How (and when) they’ll get access to the glow-up
  

Because while you’re in the lab remixing the magic, they still need a path forward.

Updating your group program is one of the clearest signs you’re not a one-hit wonder – you’re a strategic, sustainable business owner who gives a damn.

And if you’re building a business that works with your life, not against it?
You need systems and structure that support this exact kind of “Dark Mode” season.
