For my small business classes, I make clear I teach what I learned from others. My courses are "how to" not "copy John." A premise is each of us has something to offer, and it is a matter of reflecting on passion (suffering) and joy to decide what one's calling is, in fact.
As people get close, they want to know how the "how to" might apply in a specific instance. "How might I teach poetry online?" Well, I know nothing of poetry. So there is a point when each has to take the existential step, alone, unaided, and risk a try. Scary stuff, but it must be done. Once engaged, the struggle is on. But if you do not engage, then the ennui continues.
