Ready to Change Your Life: Let's Chat Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Versus Selling A Course

Question of the hour: selling a course or selling lesson plans. If you are a teacher struggling to find a spark in the classroom. Or think the only options that you have are to stay stuck pretending to love your job or leave the classroom altogether to find true happiness. I want you to start thinking about what you want your life to look like in 5 years from now, and how you might create a teacher business and be able to sustain it long term.

Creating Affordable Lesson Plans Is A Natural Step For Most Teachers.

You are already doing the majority of the work. You just need to polish it up a bit to make it sale worthy online. Let's chat course creation for a minute. Yes, you still need to learn the marketing, hype and optimization skills.

But one of my favorite things about creating a course is that you can leave that day to day, week to week, "always looking for new customers" hustle behind.

In this episode, you will learn:

3 ways to turn your lesson plans into a course
The difference between a course plan and lesson plans
Course Pricing Versus lesson plan pricing
What passive income can do for you as a teacher
How selling your course online can impact more students

I Want to Quit Teaching: What to Consider Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

I quit teaching in a traditional sense and a world of possibilities opened up

When I quit traditional teaching it was because I realized that my passion for education expanded beyond my school building and that I could impact more teachers and students while also living a life I love. I believe teachers have the knowledge and ability to conquer the world, AND they can do it however they want to.

And I cannot fail to mention that almost every conversation to leave the classroom starts and ends with finances. So today we will get into what your life could look like if you take back your time and energy in order to leave the teaching profession as we know it, and start your own movement in education!!

In this episode, you will learn:

What to do when you no longer have a consistent schedule
When a consistent income is no longer true stability
Why teachers who leave traditional classrooms are STILL teachers
How a passion for education can open new doors for you

Introducing the CEO Teacher® Coaching Certification Program Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

Creating a business coaching program, is it for TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM TEACHERS ONLY?

Heck No. Professionals around the world get paid for their support – why not teachers in general, why not you? Maybe you already tried selling your lesson plans online (or maybe that's where you thought you needed to begin) but realized it is an entirely separate job that takes up so much more time than you bargained for with a slow burn toward your goals.

Creating an online business coaching program is the easiest (and fastest) way teachers are leaving the four walls of a traditional classroom in less than a year on their way to pursue their best life yet.

Still have questions about becoming an online teacher business coach?

Join me in the brand new webinar (available for a few days ONLY) and get all of your questions answered. Save your seat before the slots fill. And just for showing up (and sticking around) you'll receive the 30 Day Coach Awareness Challenge. It's a WIN-WIN!
