After completing a big project, I like to conduct a postmortem. Maybe that term sounds overly morbid – I picked it up from my game development days – but it means doing a thorough review of what worked, what didn’t work, and lessons learned. The purpose is to identify actionable ideas to improve future projects.

I essentially shared a postmortem of the Deep Abundance Integration launch process in an earlier post called Creating a Heart-Aligned Offer (and the Results).

As part of the postmortem for a project with a public aspect, I like to gather lots of feedback and then review it and take notes. For the first group of DAI participants who signed up in August, I invited them to fill out a Google survey, so they could share feedback about their experiences.

There were 92 responses, many of them pretty detailed, so this provided the equivalent of a small book’s worth of feedback.

If you’re curious to know what participants thought of the DAI course, I’ll delve into their feedback here. Some people gave pretty detailed responses that I’ll keep private by default, but I can share plenty of detail in summary form that should give you a pretty accurate picture.

Course Completion

The first question was mainly to give me a sense of how many of the lessons people had completed when filling out the survey. About 2/3 had finished all 30 of the lessons, and 95.6% had finished at least half of the course when they took the survey.

So this told me that about 1/3 of people were still going through the course when they took the survey. In fact, with some of the ratings, people noted that they were likely to increase their ratings as they went through more material, so it was good to know that I should take that into consideration.

One survey isn’t enough to get a complete picture, but combined with other feedback avenues, it can help.

What does this tell us about the overall course completion rate? I can’t discern that from this data because it’s going to be biased towards those who completed the survey. However, after checking other data sources like the video views, I’d say that a 2/3 completion rate within about a month after purchasing the program is in the general ballpark. And more people are going through the course at a more leisurely pace.

I can’t provide a truly accurate picture since some people prefer to download the lessons and go through them on their own devices, such as listening to the audio versions while commuting. But I’m pretty confident in saying that most people who’ve bought the course are indeed completing it within 30 days. I’m happy to see that.

I thought that because of the flexible nature of the course and the self-pacing option, many people would take longer than 30 days to complete it, and of course some do, but I’m impressed that most people are indeed doing the course as a daily deep dive for 30 days straight. Based on the email feedback I received too, it appears that a lot of people really liked the immersive aspect of this 30-day deep dive. The time commitment didn’t scare them.

DAI was designed to be easy to consume. There’s a lot of material – more than 36 hours in the core lessons – but these are delivered in a conversational, enthusiastic, and often playful style. So all that’s needed to complete the course is to keep pressing play. There’s a time commitment of course, but strain and effort aren’t required, just watching and/or listening.

Overall Ratings

There next part of the survey asked people to rate 4 aspects of the course on a 1-5 scale: content, delivery style, transformational effect, and overall value.

These ratings were very positive, as you can see below.

The content received extremely positive ratings with every survey participant rating it good, very good, or excellent.

The delivery style had a few fair ratings in the mix too but was otherwise similarly well received. This was higher than I expected because it was a very conversational and informal style throughout. Based on further feedback shared about this, I think we really nailed the right vibe for the delivery, which was friendly, down to earth, and enthusiastic. But I think we can improve in terms of the structure and tightness of the delivery. I’ll bet that if I invited separate ratings on the vibe and the structure, the vibe would have gotten the higher ratings of the two.

Assessing the transformational effect is tricky because sometimes people need more time to figure out how the course is affecting them. Given the expansive nature of the topic, the results can be subjective or objective and not always easy to measure. So there’s more variance here but still skewing very positive. Also, some people noted that they were still going through the course while taking the survey, so they said they were rating this a bit lower (like good) since they hadn’t had enough time with the material to measure strong effects yet. On the other hand, some people reported pretty powerful effects and opted to give the course an excellent rating even though they still had many lessons left to go. I lean on other forms of feedback to help fill out the big picture here. Even so, it’s good to see that many people believe this course has had a positive transformational effect on their lives, although the magnitude of the effect varies from person to person. That isn’t too surprising.

Clearly many people are getting strong value here, so for future course offers, I want to refine the presentation of the offer a bit, so as to do an even better job of attracting people who will appreciate the experience.

Participant Results

The next part of the survey included some open ended questions with free-form text boxes, so people could share as much or as little feedback as they wanted. Responses ranged from one-line answers to in-depth replies of several paragraphs.

The first question I asked here was: What results have you achieved from participating in DAI so far?

DAI covers a lot of ground, and it’s meant to help people get practical results, so I wanted to get a better sense of what people gained from participating. I was struck by the sheer variety of results that people got.

For my own notes, I summarized the key types of results that people got into a single list. This strips out the details and personal info, but I think it serves as a good summary of the gains people reported.

Reading through these responses, especially the longer ones, was rewarding to say the least, and it was also humbling. It’s an incredible privilege to bring people together to work with this kind of transformational energy. I may facilitate the experience, but I don’t control how this energy affects people, and I couldn’t have predicted all of these different outcomes in advance.

Some of these results are interesting secondary gains, such as feeling closer to a relationship partner by taking the course together. Rachelle and I often experience a similar effect when we enjoy educational or transformational experiences together.

Several people reported significant reductions in their feelings of stress or anxiety – and not just related to money. For some it seemed to be a lightening or releasing of long-term feelings of existential angst. I didn’t think of DAI as a potential anxiety-reducing deep dive, but in retrospect it’s easy to see how creating a more trusting relationship reality could have that effect. I actually felt pretty moved by this kind of feedback. It’s a beautiful gift to know that this course can provide some relief from long-term stress and anxiety for certain people.

Another commonly reported outcome was that people felt better about investing in new creative pursuits like writing, music, or other art forms. Taking such risks is easier if you can trust reality more. So a secondary result is that we’re likely to see more music, books, websites, and other creative works spinning up from people who took the course.

During the program we did a couple of sessions on defining and maintaining personal boundaries, and these proved more powerful for some people than I anticipated. Some people had serious a-ha moments regarding how they’d been letting others violate their boundaries, and they resolved to put a stop to that. A number people shared how powerful it was to finally connect the dots between scarcity and boundary violations – and between abundance and strong boundaries.

Several people said that one of their top results was gaining a fresh perspective on their past struggles. Some reported “oh duh!” moments of clarity when they finally surfaced an unconscious pattern that had been sabotaging their results for years. Even before they replaced the pattern with something better, just seeing the old pattern for what it was made a big difference to these people.

One person noted that by going through this course, he was in a better position to help out some friends who were stuck in scarcity challenges due to their mindsets – another interesting secondary effect.

If you’re wondering about the alien-related items on the list above, they refer to a playful visualization exercise we did. It involves aliens in an interdimensional movie theater, watching your life unfold and throwing popcorn at the screen whenever you make misaligned decisions. Many people really liked this exercise and found it memorable and useful – I’m still getting some thankful emails about it.

This feedback also shows me that the format of this deep dive worked on many levels. It was a good way to share key ideas, provide some interactivity and connection, and to convey the emotional side of this work. I’m glad that it worked because I really enjoyed the deep dive format too. I can continue to refine it, especially based on feedback from the next section, but it’s good to know that it worked so well as-is.

Improvement Suggestions

What suggestions do you have for improving future courses?

Same deal here – my summary list based on the replies:

• Many said they were perfectly happy with it as-is / nothing to improve
• Sync the chat window timestamps with the actual video, so it can be used as a subtitle track (to emulate a live replay with the real-time chat)
• Some comments on connecting to the live video shortly after it started and missing some words from the beginning
• Having a better idea of the call duration in advance
• Improving the audio quality
• Repetition and over-elaboration
• Send multiple call reminder emails or SMS
• More Q&A
• Shorter sessions with some quick Q&A at the end of each
• Eliminate the chat
• Fewer polls during sessions (could do via email instead)
• A different format for the live chat
• Have a vote to choose topics for each session
• Shorter, more condensed classes
• Remove the distraction of setting up a forum for members
• More concise videos
• Fewer examples
• A bit more structure or doing some super structured calls
• Do fast, formal reviews of the material every 10 days
• Could do a more in-depth survey of the whole group by soliciting questions people want to know about the others and then doing it by email and sharing the results with everyone
• More Q&A sessions
• Too long (30 days was exhausting)
• Background of the videos was a bit dull
• Loved the chat but also found it distracting (consider a pre-call or post-call chat session)
• Have Rachelle teach too, so we can get a female perspective
• Might be a little too advanced to recommend to friends who aren’t already into this sort of thing, so maybe some lighter material for newbies
• Add lesson titles to downloadable files
• More woo woo
• Less woo woo
• Less intro conversation and a faster jump into the core material (mostly in the first week’s sessions)
• Vary the time of the live calls
• Have a fixed length for each lesson
• Q&A that we can submit beforehand
• A more course-like format with exercises at the end of each chapter to review
• Do a live version of your book
• Have a private RSS feed for the audio versions
• Have a singular ZIP file to download all of the audios
• Make it even more interactive (more polls, more Q&A)
• Add a workbook or worksheets to follow after the call (like homework)
• Include concrete action steps at the end of each lesson
• More interaction with the forum
• Finding ways to get us more involved live
• More advance notice of the start date
• Consider pricing it higher to have fewer participants on the live calls
• Have homework / tasks along the way
• Offer a quick written outline of each lesson the same or next day for easy review
• Include an interactive quiz, assessment, or other gamification of the ideas
• Even more concrete examples for specific situations
• Have more interactivity with the live chat / more bidirectional communication
• Tighter formatting
• Change the order of the recorded calls
• A summary of each call posted together with the video in the portal
• Close each call with at least one voluntary exercise
• Share the theme of each day in advance

Some of this feedback is actionable, and I’m already making improvements to the next deep dive based on what people shared. I look forward to refining how we do these based on future rounds of feedback too. I enjoy the co-creative aspect of making this even more win-win as we go.

Many suggestions are expressions of personal preference. Some people wanted adjustments in one direction while others wanted the opposite. This tells me that there’s room to experiment with the format, especially in terms of how we balance the structure of the calls with the casual presentation style. This also signals the importance of communicating expectations up front, so people can make an informed decision about whether the style and format is likely to resonate with them. This program wouldn’t be a good match for someone who loves PowerPoint slides since there are no slides, for instance. It’s better for people who appreciate a conversational style rich in examples, stories, and application ideas.

One actionable improvement I can make for future deep dives is to address the obvious areas for tightening up the structure. There were some calls where we could have shaved off 10+ minutes without losing anything consequential, such as by addressing logistics issues via email instead of during the calls. I think the structure improved as we went along, but for a future deep dive we can make it tighter from the beginning. I think we achieved a pretty solid signal to noise ratio in this program, and now I see better ways to tighten up the looser bits and make the segments more efficient. I just want to make sure we don’t go too far and lose the vibe and playfulness in the process.

Likelihood of Participating in Future Courses

What’s the likelihood that you’ll sign up for another Steve Pavlina course?

It was good to see that most people who filled out the DAI survey are looking forward to future courses. Only 3 people said that it was unlikely or very unlikely while 83 people said it was likely or very likely that they’d join another course. So that’s overwhelmingly on the positive side.

I can understand the neutral ratings because for many people, the decision to participate in another course will depend on several factors: topic, timing, price, personal relevance, etc.

Regarding the few misaligned people, I see this as more of a marketing issue than a content or delivery issue. Based on their feedback, I concluded that they really shouldn’t have signed up to begin with. This course was designed for certain types of people, as I shared in the intro video on the DAI web page. For such aligned people, the value received was pretty solid. But when someone who noted their misalignment with these descriptions and joined with a “Well, I’m probably not a match for this, but I’ll try it anyway” attitude, the outcome wasn’t as good. Overall I think I did a pretty good job of discouraging misaligned people from joining, and I think the survey results reflect that, but I could probably tighten this part up even more for future deep dives. I just want to be careful not to overdo it by scaring off people who might not fit the core avatar but who may still get good results.

It’s good to see there’s solid demand for future courses. I look forward to exploring a variety of creative deep dives in the years ahead.

• Keep innovating
• Make the DAI course more action-oriented in CGC like with action steps and reporting
• Follow-up blog posts regarding topics we touched on
• Do a follow-up 30-day experiment on subjective reality
• Offer an opportunity for one-on-one chats / consults / personal coaching calls
• More support in expressing my uniqueness
• Find a way to keep us going
• Ensure this continues to be extremely helpful and affordable for those that need it most
• Have a short summary of each video
• Keep blogging
• Have a follow-up call after a few months
• Keep me informed about CGC’s development
• Keep sending abundance vibes
• More heart-driven deep dives
• Keep trusting your reality
• Keep following your path with a heart
• Keep offering flexible options for learning (like the self pacing and live call options)
• Keep the door open for latecomers

The most common type of answer was of the “keep doing what you’re doing” type, along with more encouragement to keep following a heart-aligned path.

I wasn’t originally planning to share the DAI survey feedback publicly. I was just going to use it for improving the design and delivery of future deep dives. But since a few people suggested sharing it because they wanted to know how it landed with their peers who took the course, I figured why not. So that request inspired this post.

Public Feedback From Participants

If you’re willing to share any thoughts, results, or feedback that we can post publicly (especially to help others decide if DAI would be a good choice for them), please share them here.

With respect to this survey item, there was a ton of feedback that participants offered to share publicly, but at 6000+ words I think this post is long enough already. So I’ll share that feedback on DAI in a separate post later this week.

There were a couple other pieces of survey feedback related to CGC and general comments that I won’t share here since they don’t actually pertain to DAI, but I went over all of that too.

I hope you enjoyed this insight into what people thought of the Deep Abundance Integration course. I’m really glad it was such a positive experience for so many participants. I intend to keep DAI available as an evergreen course indefinitely, so you can still take the course if you’re interested. And if you’re like the other people who signed up, I’d predict that you have about a 2/3 chance of completing the course in the first 30 days. 🙂

October 1st, 2018 was my 14-year anniversary starting this blog and website. So we’re now beginning year #15. Can you believe it’s been that long already? Back in 2004 I had to face my own abundance alignment challenge by deciding to follow my path with a heart and transition out of a 10-year career in game development. While it’s great to make a living from personal development work, it’s also really nice to see such direct feedback that it’s making a difference in people’s lives.
