Summary
START YOUR ONLINE TEACHING BUSINESS BY AVOIDING MY MISTAKES
Hey friend! Starting an online teaching business or becoming an online teacher entrepreneur is probably one of the SCARIEST things that you could ever do as an educator. I know — I have sooooooooo been there! To be a CEO teacher — because, let's get real for a second…you ARE the CEO of YOUR LIFE — you have to put yourself out there. And sometimes, that means that it feels like the whole world is watching you, and every mistake is highlighted in yellow and underscored in red. Ugh! But that's just the thing: it feels that way. In reality, when you're an entrepreneur or when you're running your online teaching business, it's not always smooth sailing, but we can use every opportunity to grow. Listen, mistakes happen. And instead of letting every little "mistake" define you, I invite you today to start thinking of your mistakes as your teachers.
THEN GROW YOUR TEACHING BUSINESS WITH A TRUSTED GUIDE
Speaking of teachers, I'm here to help you learn from my mistakes so that you can get to the good stuff…faster. And in today's episode, I'm sharing the top nine mistakes I made when I started to build my online teaching business all while I was still in the classroom. Your journey to success doesn't have to be as hard as mine was. The first thing you have to do is…listen to this episode!
In this episode, you will learn:
- What is actually behind every successful entrepreneur's social media account (it may not be what you think)
- What happens when you follow the crowd instead of yourself
- A tiny little phrase that has the ability to build your confidence
- How a diversified plan of action can set you up for success
- Why core values can protect you from unnecessary busyness
- And much, much more!

| 0:37.3 | despair, because those are God's |
| 0:39.5 | tools to help show us the way. I wish that I would have had that quote when I first starting out |
| 0:44.6 | because I let those 3Ds get in the way of my happiness in the beginning. And I chatted about those |
| 0:49.7 | in some previous episodes. But instead of mistakes, I want you to remember that as you grow, |
| 0:55.9 | these are just lessons learned. Yes, in today's show, I may call them mistakes, but I want to |
