Digital Course Academy Success Story
Sarah Smith Physician Coach
“I now have my very own online course that’s made me CAD$150K in just 2 months!”

Thanks to Amy Porterfield, I’ve built my own course that teaches family physicians (like me) how to get their paperwork and charting done during their workday.
That means no more bringing loads of patient files home. No more work after dinner. And lots more free time to enjoy more of their life.
I know how daunting it can be because as a physician, I used to struggle with paperwork. There was always so much of it and never enough time to complete it.
I bet you don’t know that every single week, most physicians spend 10 to 15 hours of their evenings, mornings, and weekends outside of a normal day at the office on paperwork.
That will make any doctor lose their passion for their career. (I certainly almost did.) So I went looking for help. I needed to solve my paperwork problem.
I hired a coach to assist me in getting it under control. Then guess what?! I decided to become a coach too.
Family physicians are my kind of people, and I naturally wanted to help them experience the same results I had… never taking paperwork and patient charts home — ever again!
So, I spent 18 months coaching other physicians one-on-one on how to achieve this. This allowed me to hone in and simplify my method. And this positioned me perfectly to turn my method into a course.
It was Amy’s podcast that inspired me to take the next step, which is when I signed up for Digital Course Academy.
And… The Charting Champions Program was born.
DCA taught me how to get my course in front of the right people. It really helped me nail down a solid Facebook ad strategy that was key to getting attendees on my masterclasses.
I launched in October with 3 masterclasses that I modeled after a live webinar Amy did. One of my biggest takeaways from what Amy teaches was how to create a compelling masterclass that converts new customers. I made sure my masterclass was amazing and really taught something useful. I followed her plan to a T.
And OH DID IT WORK! I made CAD$107,600 in just one week!
My second launch was in November. I did that one with only 3 days’ notice. There wasn’t a lot of time to build enthusiasm for the launch, and it still made CAD$43,200!
(What?!?!)
Ever since I started launching courses, I’ve stopped coaching one-on-one. I need to save up my coaching brainpower for my students. I want to give them the best experience possible in the class.
I love that I’m helping other physicians solve their paperwork problems. There’s no reward like seeing my students find more time for their families and get the time to relax that they deserve.
Thanks, Amy, for making this possible!
