I Killed a Complicated Coaching Platform Project — And Launched My Eduarn LMS Instead

 

Earlier this year, I almost invested in a high-end coaching platform.

The team was excited. The vendors were enthusiastic.

But I walked away. And honestly? I’d do it again. Here’s why:

We had a problem: managing our coaching programs was messy. Scheduling conflicts, lost course materials, and frustrated clients.

The proposed solution? A premium all-in-one software:
✅ Fancy dashboards
✅ “AI-driven” learner engagement
✅ Mobile apps, notifications, and integrations
💰 Budget: ₹1,50,000+ per year

It looked perfect. On paper.

The Questions That Stopped Me

Before signing anything, I asked three uncomfortable questions:

1️⃣ What’s the actual cost of the current problem?

• Trainers wasting 2 hours per day on admin

• 5 trainers = 10 hours/day → ~2,500 hours/year

• At fully loaded cost: ₹50,000/year

Compared to the software cost, the ROI wasn’t obvious.

2️⃣ What happens if the “smart” features fail?

• AI recommendations for courses weren’t perfect

• Staff would still manually track progress

• Complexity was increasing, not decreasing

3️⃣ What’s the simplest solution we haven’t tried?

• A unified LMS for all trainers and clients

• Standardized course structures

• Automated reminders and payment tracking

• Centralized dashboard for learners and trainers

The answer was obvious. We didn’t need a fancy platform. We needed Eduarn LMS.

• Automated communications – Emails, WhatsApp reminders, and notifications

My Leadership Litmus Test for Any Tech Investment

Here’s how I decide now:

1️⃣ What’s the real cost of doing nothing?

• Be honest, not dramatic.

• Sometimes the “problem” isn’t as costly as it feels.

2️⃣ What’s the simplest fix?

• Boring often wins.

• Standardization, clear workflows, and automation solve more than flashy tech.

3️⃣ Will this scale?

• Or are we just adding complexity?

• Platforms should make growth easier, not harder.

4️⃣ Are we solving the right problem?

• Or just treating a symptom?

• If it’s the symptom, even the best tech won’t help.

Lessons Learned

Sometimes the most powerful decision isn’t buying the newest software. It’s saying no when everyone says yes.

• Complexity can disguise inefficiency

• Automation only works if you already have processes in place

• The right LMS can replace 5 different tools and save time, money, and frustration

For life coaches, trainers, and small coaching businesses: focus on tools that simplify, scale, and solve the real problem.
