Wasted $300 on a "brand strategy" course that was just common sense

I was feeling stuck with my freelance graphic design work last spring, so I dropped $300 on this online brand strategy course that promised to help me land bigger clients. It turned out to be 8 hours of videos telling me to "know your audience" and "use consistent colors." Every example was from corporate projects with huge teams, nothing I could actually use as a solo designer. Has anyone else fallen for an overpriced course that just rehashed basics you already know?

Know your audience" advice in a 300 dollar course? Did they at least give you a real example of how that works solo?

Honestly @ross.jessica, that advice can be gold if you actually dig into who you're talking to.
