Episode 108 Three things that are holding you back from progress in your business

22m · Get richer teacher with Ola Kowalska · 18 Dec 08:00

Just like planning a road trip, building a successful business requires a few key elements. First, you need to ensure that your business is functioning well, just like checking your car before hitting the road. This means having a clear map or goal to work towards, as well as knowing that you have support along the way. Trust me, having someone to keep you company and provide support makes the journey much more enjoyable and easier.

Now, when it comes to setting goals for your business, I believe in focusing on the journey rather than a super specific destination. Instead, break your goals into smaller, more manageable milestones that you can achieve in around three months. These short-term goals will keep you motivated and help you track your progress effectively.

You also need a fully-functioning car, a map and FUEL.

To find out what these are in your own marketing journey, listen to this week's episode!

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
