Get richer teacher with Ola Kowalska

Here are top five takeaways from this episode:
1. It's crucial to define what financial freedom means to you. Take the time to reflect on your values, priorities, and goals. Don't just follow advice blindly, but create a plan that aligns with your unique vision.

2. Building financial freedom requires taking action and being proactive. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you, but try out different income streams, products, and marketing strategies until you find what works for your situation.

3. Sustainability is key. It's tempting to aim for short-term financial gains, but in the long run, having a stable, predictable income is much more valuable. Focus on creating a business that will last, not just one that makes a quick buck.

4. Saying "it is what it is" can be dangerous. While acceptance is important, you don't want to feel stuck or hopeless. Recognize when change is possible and desirable, and then take action to make it happen.

5. Freedom is a multifaceted concept. It's not just about having a lot of money, but about having control over your time, energy, and relationships. Prioritise doing work that you love, treating yourself with kindness, and cultivating a support system that will help you achieve your goals.

Now, it’s time to go get richer, teacher!

In this episode, I talked about unlearning some things that might be standing in the way of your success in selling stuff in your business. Here are the six key points we covered:

1. seeing your work through the prism of educational value

2. focusing on the language rather than people's problems and needs

3. focusing on the ‘what’ rather than ‘for who’

4. being passive  in your marketing

5. taking responsibility for people’s results

6. letting mindset gremlins win

Timestamped overview:

[00:01:00] Summer is a good time to develop a business with passive income.

[00:06:19] Focus on building an audience beyond just educational content, mindset shift needed to see value beyond teaching. Need to separate teaching and business identity.

[00:11:05] Social media success doesn't guarantee goals; unless it's for sponsorship or influence. Sustainable income and generating leads are more important. Content made to appeal to the masses can be too generic; don't focus too much on language.

[00:15:44] Be specific about the people you serve. English teaching requires micro or nano specificity. Other languages easier to stand out.

[00:17:11] Narrow marketing is effective, generic marketing doesn't work. Relevant messaging is key.

[00:20:37] A website/profile alone won't generate interest; be clear on target audience, listen to them and be proactive in marketing

[00:25:56] Bro marketing promises unrealistic results disregarding individual differences and taking responsibility for others' results is toxic and undermines independence.

[00:29:08] Passive income allows success and helping people at a larger scale. Don't let fears hold you back. Teachers can overcome limiting beliefs.

This week I'm taking you on a journey (a hike, actually) to setting up passive income offers in your teaching business.

As with every journey, the beginnings are usually quite exciting (that's when you start freelancing), but it might be hard to progress from the freelancing world's plains and step into the more hilly area with digital, passive offers. Not to worry, though. I'm going to tell you precisely what you need to do to reach your destination.

One of the steps in your journey might be running an MVP (listen to see what that is) in form of a workshop. If that idea sounds fun, you can join us in my Workshop workshop training to learn how to set one up! Join us here!
