Summary

10 life lessons from a multi-million dollar membership for teachers

Although this isn't my typical podcast, it's one that I have enjoyed thinking through the process. And I hope that the 10 life lessons I've learned since creating a multi-million dollar membership for teachers can somehow help you on your online journey as a teacher. As you'll soon hear, some of these life-lessons from The CEO Teacher Academy® to the CEO Teacher Membership® are profound (and they took me years to find the answers to) and, while others may sound simple, they still took years to develop.

What you need to know about teacher memberships

On the road to creating The CEO Teacher Programs®, what did we learn in the process? Whew, we learned a lot! But I want you to know this – unless we are in launch thickness (which is about 4 weeks a year), we live an easy-going, carefree, fun-filled job/life. We have found the potion to put a trance on the workforce. Our team functions like a well-oiled machine: working 4 days a week and getting tons of vacation time. But, friends, it hasn't always looked like this. Building a membership for teachers that functions like a well-oiled machine takes time to build! In fact, when I first hired a team, I was miserable. I cried nearly every day. And then when my business skyrocketed, I was the loneliest I had ever been. But then came a critical turning point in 2020 (and it was UGLY). To create the teacher membership I'd dreamed up, I would have to either sink or swim. Yet somehow, I began to fly. How'd I do it? Swoop on over to your favorite podcast player and find out by playing this episode!

In this episode, you will learn:

The 10 critical lessons-learned making a membership for teachers
Why deciding to fix my online course for teachers was the tipping point to success
How The CEO Teacher School® grows from the sum of the people involved
Why everything you need to create a teacher membership or an online course for teachers is already inside of you
Why The CEO Teacher Programs® decided to put on blinders (and what happened as a result)
Why The CEO Teacher® decided to slow down before speeding up

0:00.0	Hey, CEO teachers, what a beautiful day to be alive. Man, I love springtime.
0:05.6	It puts me in the best feeling ever. And although today is not my typical podcast, it's one that I have
0:12.7	really enjoyed thinking through the process of. And I hope that the 10 life lessons that I've
0:18.0	learned since creating a multi-million dollar membership for teachers can
0:23.0	somehow help you on your online journey of becoming a CEO teacher as well. Some of the things
0:30.1	that I'm going to share are profound, and they took me years to find the answers to while others
0:34.7	are just going to seem simple. And they only took me years to really
0:40.3	develop. But maybe I heard them my whole life and it just recently clicked. Now, I'm super methodical
0:45.9	about podcast recording and writing and creating and all of that stuff. I usually write out
0:51.9	every single word that I'm going to say. Sometimes I read it all
0:56.1	word for word. Other times I go off on tangents, but I try to be very thought out, very scripted about
1:01.6	this show because I don't want you to listen and just think, man, she's just going on and on and on.
1:06.7	And I'm not really learning anything because I hate listening to podcast where I don't feel like
1:11.8	I'm getting any value. But today's show, I did think out the 10 steps, but I didn't necessarily
1:17.7	go through every single thing and script it out because I wanted it to be real and raw.
1:23.3	And I wanted you to kind of see who I am as a person and how I've developed myself over the years.
1:29.6	Now, I wanted to share a quote before we get started, and it says,
1:33.0	you'll learn as you get older that rules are made to be broken.
1:36.6	Be bold enough to live life on your terms and never ever apologize for it.
1:42.2	Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less
1:46.0	traveled instead of the well-beaten path, laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look,
1:52.1	dance as though everyone is watching, march to the beat of your own drummer, and stubbornly refuse to fit in.
