Everyone has at least one amazing teacher in their life. Right? You know, someone who went above and beyond to help you see your potential. The person who pointed you in the right direction to find the missing piece of the puzzle. This might be your parent, a sibling, a friend, or it might, quite literally, be your school teacher - it could be anyone! But just as someone sparked change in your life, isn't it just absolutely mindblowing how YOU have touched other people's lives too? Think about it. With or without you knowing, you've become a "teacher" and shared your wisdom, experience or maybe expertise to flip another person's life for the better. Now, you probably don't even remember all the people you've helped. Probably because you didn't feel like you've done something big enough to elicit change. This is a problem. Why are we so obsessed with acknowledging only big changes when even a little bit of change goes a long way? We often say, "Celebrate all your successes, yes, even the little ones; because no matter how small you think that is, it will prepare you for even greater opportunities." The same thing applies to change! Don't just brush off the small changes when it has the potential to lead you to your greatest achievements. Which is also why you being "the teacher" is no coincidence. Every life you touch, every problem you help solve, takes the world one step closer to another piece of the puzzle. Embrace your every opportunity of being "the teacher" for the people around you. Great things await those who accept and pursue their passion. Which brings us to this week's guest, we have a professional percussionist who has pursued the education scene in hopes to spark positive change in the way we educate our children. We have Mark Taylor on air, and this is his story… Mark is a husband, and father of 2 teenagers and a pre-teen. He has played drums and percussion for a living, where he has gotten the opportunity to tour the UK, Europe and the United States. He had also found teaching to be his other passion at age 40, thanks to his children. Mark is also part of the National Association for Primary Education in the UK which helped him understand the issues surrounding people involved in education, not just the amount of work and stress closely tied to this profession, but also because of certain limitations in the school system makes it difficult for them to deliver the kind of learning the children deserve. His podcast, Education on Fire, launched in December 2016, where he helps fellow educators discuss ideas and share resources online. But having the freedom to pursue his passion for music and teaching doesn't come without a price. You see, time flexibility can be a double-edged sword. When you agree to one opportunity, you will have to turn down another, simply because you can't be in two places at the same time and exert the same amount of effort to accomplish two different tasks. Being a father, professional musician, primary school teacher AND a podcaster is no easy task. Pursuing his music or teaching career will have its own benefits, but he has found great interest in podcasting and how it can help him have the freedom to spend more time with his family. He has already found a good audience through sharing his insight as a primary school teacher on his podcast, so how can that help him make money online? If you wanna know how we helped Mark, then don't miss this episode, we're going to dive deep into several fantastic points that will help take his online business to the next level and it can help you too!   [Tweet ""Teaching a child brings the best out in humanity." - Shane"] [Tweet ""Reaching out is one of the most powerful things you can do." - Jocelyn"] You Will Learn: The concept of opportunity & opportunity costs Why people will listen to you Refining your avatar
