Why do some teachers thrive as entrepreneurs while others struggle? We dissect this question.
Many teachers want to earn more, teach online, and gain more clients - but struggle to implement a sustainable strategy. We go over seven "Cs" to help.
In this episode, we dive into the "seven Cs of success for teacher entrepreneurship" and discuss:
- confidence as a skill rather than a feeling
- getting granular on goals
- strategizing goal achievement at both the macro and the micro
- reflecting on why having a business is (or isn't) a priority
- how consistency compounds over time
- why getting more clients is nearly impossible if you have nothing to sell
- normalizing struggle and self doubt
- first steps to starting your business in 2025
