Episode 4: the ONE thing that you need to master if you want to be successful in ELT

34m · Get richer teacher with Ola Kowalska · 06 Sep 13:00

People assume that business is just business - it either works or it doesn't.

But there is so much more to it! And it all starts with your mindset and energy. If you're not energetically ready for success you will not be successful.

Mindset is a muscle - it can be worked on, flexed, exercised but people don't see it as a necessity. While in fact, it is absolutely inevitable if you really want to receive success, abundance, all the things you want and build your dream life.

Mindset starts with realising that it is A THING. It is important, it is necessary to admit that without being in the right frame of mind, even the best strategies, courses and other forms of support will not work!

And that's why I talk about working on your limiting beliefs so much! I believe the work on your business starts with you! There are so many of them for us, teachers,

1. Ideas about comparing yourself to others - ('So many people do it and they're great at it so I can't succeed' etc)
2. Ideas about trying to price your teaching services competitively in the market ('I can't charge more because people won't buy')
3. Ideas about your own worth and how much you're willing to invest in yourself (in terms of time and money) ('I can't spend that much on my development because I'm not 'ready')
4. The ideas about having to do everything on your own ('If I ask for help, it'll mean I'm not capable')

And many others. And the last one, especially, can be addressed NOW!

I'm now launching a brand new club for ELT entrepreneurs called ELTpreneurs! It's a membership for people who need accountability, support from other like-minded people, and ME as your mentor, regular training, your own membership area, and exclusive group, group coaching sessions, weekly Q&As, expert sessions, and many many more!

Episode 127 Are digital products the next good step when you want to scale beyond 1:1

There are plenty of online gurus out there selling the dream of passive income as the ultimate solution to all your problems. They paint a picture of you sipping margaritas on the beach while your digital products sell like hotcakes. Sounds amazing, right? 

In reality scaling by selling digital products is not that simple. 

In episode 127 of Get richer, teacher podcast I decided to tackle the burning question: Is creating digital products and passive income really the right move for you when you want to scale beyond one-to-one teaching?

In this episode, we'll explore:

  • Whether diving into the world of digital products is the right step for scaling your teaching business.
  • The realities of selling digital products and why it may not be as simple as it appears.
  • How group programs provide a sustainable and profitable alternative to one-to-one teaching and digital products.
  • The benefits of group programs for both teachers and students and why I see them as the natural progression from one-to-one teaching

If you’re ready to scale your business the sustainable way, I can help! My 6-month group coaching program will be launching again soon. If you’re thinking of monetising a large audience, however, DM me to ask about 1:1 work!
