Hey, Teacher Friend! In today's episode, we tackle 3 BIG Fears we ALL face when making a change-especially when it comes to self-employment. Teachers, listen up! We have been conditioned to stay safe-expect your weekly/monthly pay check, have your holidays and summers off, get retirement, benefits...and keep doing what you're doing. But what if "what we are doing" just isn't sparking our teacher flame anymore? How do we push through the FEARS to make a change and give up what we've been taught to hold on to "security"? Uncertainty, Judgement and Struggle: 3 Fears we must tackle in an effort to experience true teacher change. How do we get over these fears? Get out a piece of paper. It's Fear Bustin' Time!

Hey, Teacher Friend! I am most often asked, “What curriculum do you use? How did you decide?” Well this topic, LIGHTS ME UP! We all know that the DEATH TRAP of a teacher’s JOY is not being able to teach what we feel matters or makes a difference in our students' lives! Teaching to standards and measures beyond our means can lead to stealing our joy and ultimately destroys the love for what we do! Have you ever said, "The curriculum we follow doesn’t allow us to XYZ. Your child is performing well below grade level and the curriculum is going at such a pace, it increasing the gap further." or "The curriculum or the standards causing us to be “trapped” in a box!" Well, it's absolutely liberating to know that YOU GET TO CHOOSE the curriculum for your micro-school or homeschool! Today we focus on high value education, choosing curriculum with meaning and knowing "Why" we are choosing a certain method or movement to ensure we are teaching with passion and expertise! This is a good one! Get out your notebook!

Hey, Teacher Friend! "Help! I am NOT a salesman...I am a Teacher!" This is what I hear often when I speak with teachers who are anticipating their first micro-school opening, and are afraid to get his/her first clients/students. They often ask, "How Do I find my first set of students? What do I do? I need action steps!" I can relate. I felt the same way! But the good news is...there is no need to fear, act "salesy", or hustle to find your first paying clients. In today's episode, I discuss the action steps I took to take the scare out of trying to start a business and then go find your clients. Advertising is an important part to opening your doors and ensuring students come. However, it's not the hardest part of this journey-it's the most rewarding. If you think I stood out on the street with signs, or had banners waving outside my house...no! I didn’t have a yard sign. I used THE MOST powerful tool to get our fabulous students-one in which we all have. Tune in to see what it is!

Today I'll be sharing the number one, most important strategy you must take action with before beginning your micro-school or homeschooling business! It's the most important, foundational piece that allows you to gain clarity and momentum in meeting your goals and fulfilling your destiny with this business.

We need to become obsessed with this piece of advice today in order to restore our passion and change the course of our course of life and career.

Hey, teacher friend! One of the most frequent questions I receive is, "What should I do RIGHT NOW to begin transitioning out of my current teaching role?" We all appreciate tangible steps, so today I'll be sharing personal insight and steps to help you successfully make the transition so you are not riding on the HOT MESS EXPRESS bus! In today's episode, I give you practical tips to help you skill up, prepare mentally, lay down distractions and be proactive rather than reactive. Your time, effort and commitment are required when it comes to make a change, and many times we are required to "get out" before knowing the next steps. Many times we make a career change regardless of the unknown because we are CALLED to step out and enter our new season of life!

Even if you hear yourself saying, "What if I make a change in my career and I don't like it? This is too hard! I don't know what to do! How do I push through when I am tired or overwhelmed?"

Hey, Teacher Friend! In today’s episode, we are tackling 5 routines and/or strategies that will help you cultivate peace in your personal and family life. I’m discussing morning routines, weekend planning, my paper planner (that I absolutely LOVE) and the way I communicate in order to get more help! How do you utilize your time to set up for success at the beginning of every day? Is your morning routine full of anxious feelings? Are you rushing out the door only to realize you can’t find your keys, left your lunchbox or forgot to tell the ones you love “goodbye”? Are your weekends full of grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning or feeling as if you need a couple of extra days to “get it all done”? Are you truly resting? Do you feel prepared before your week begins? Not only are we seeking “more time” as a teacher, but we are seeking QUALITY of time-the quality that results in peace, enjoyable moments and more opportunities for the people and experiences we care deeply about.

Are you craving a more sustainable and productive lifestyle-one in which you wake up with the Joy and Energy to face the day?

Hey, Teacher Friend! If you were to Google "Test Prep" "Tired of Teaching to the Test" "Teachers with Unrealistic Expectations" you might as well just take a deep breath-it's all over the internet! Tired of conforming? Tired of saying "I'm no longer going to worry about these formative assessments, all of this testing or my evaluations. I'm going to focus on the students!" But you find yourself, over and over again, sinking back into fear and frantically preparing for all the things we know are keeping us chained? Teachers know this isn't high value teaching, and parents want more for their child. However, dissatisfaction doesn't seem to be a big enough motivator for change. Especially when you hear the voice of fear whispering throughout your day, "It is what it is. Don't even think about bucking the system. Do you really think you can do better?" But you can do better. Our children deserve better. You, teacher friend, know what's better because YOU have the ultimate gift. But do you know HOW to do better? Listen up, teacher friend, your courage is needed!

Hey, Teacher Friend! There's always a lot of jargon going around, especially in education. Keeping up with all the new buzz words can be quite difficult. What really matters? Is it in the name? How can we create a Win-Win-Win for Parents, Teachers and Students when it comes to a high value education? Is a Microschool a Dream school? What's the difference between a mMicroschool, Dream school or private school? Could a homeschooling business be a solution to educational frustration? The trajectory of education is changing across the globe. No matter the state, country or province-a teacher's expertise is needed to answer the following questions: What's the problem? How will it be fixed? Who will fix it? As parents search for alternatives in education, they are looking for the best options! Relationships, flexibility, and affordable price tags play a key role. Could a "one-room schoolhouse" be making it's way back into education? How can we blend the best of all options? Be ready to be enlightened! Your ideas are needed for such a time as this!

Hey, Teacher Friend! When the time comes to transition from a traditional teacher into a homeschooling teacher, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons. Each year, thousands of more parents are choosing home education programs for their children while forgoing the traditional educational system. Teachers are in high demand for this type of educational model. According to the National Home Education Research Institute, the population of homeschooled children is increasing by 15-20 percent each year, making a viable market for homeschooling businesses. With the homeschool market expanding and teachers looking for educational alternatives, this episode is designed to answer some questions about the advantages, disadvantages and trade-offs when stepping out and becoming a teacherpreneur! What some believe to be a pro, may be considered a con to another teacher friend. But nonetheless, you’ll be able to make your own determination after listening to this episode. The following topics will be addressed: Vacation/Time Off, Income and Expenses, Safety, Business Basics,, Relationships, Hiring, Requirements and so much more! Are you ready for this?? Let's do this!! (If you have more questions about this type of business, be sure to email or send a direct message through the platforms below. I look forward to hearing from you!)
