Learn how to start, grow and love your Tutor Business!

Discover why caring intensely about yourself and those around you, will lead to you being more fulfilled in both business and your personal life. By caring you will build longer term relationships with your colleagues, your customers,  your friends and your family, and If you care about those people, you’ll do right by those people and serve them better.

Neil discusses why your work is your craft and it’s personal. As entrepreneurs, as teachers we express ourselves through our work. It’s a focused evolution of the skills evolved, in the practice of that work, an ongoing development of your passion. Neil explains why you need to craft your own craft, finesse it, tweak it and make it better because if your not getting better, you're getting worse and If you are not growing you’re probably dying.

Find out why you shouldn’t ask for permission, because nobody else is running your life, you are. By doing great stuff, you learn stuff. Learn through doing. Neil talks about the need to start doing or you will always be wait for the right time to invest, to learn, to start, to expand, to develop, to contract or to change track. The moment you start, the fear evaporates. 

Finally Neil rounds off the episode by teaching you, not to take yourself so seriously, and to find fun in any situation. The universe doesn’t care about you, so have some fun in making a fortune and building a legacy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Know who you are, and who you want to become.
• Know where you want to go.
• Let go of the need for a specific result.
• Don't care what other people are doing.
• Don't care what other people think.

Care intensely about those you serve.
Business is all about who you are as a person, it’s an expression and will impact those that are around you.

Your work is your craft, it’s personal.
Work hard on your craft, spend the money to get the skills and learn from others that are better than you. If you are the best teacher in the room, you’re in the wrong room, if you the poorest or the least informed person in the room, you’re in the right room. Invest in yourself.

Don’t ask for permission.
Whose permission do you need to be happy? To be wealthy?

Learn through doing.
You will always be waiting, there’s never going to be a perfect time, so start anyway.

Don’t take yourself too seriously.
If you take yourself too seriously, you’re probably not going to have any fun.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Care more than you think is safe, more than you think is necessary”.
• “We are expressing ourselves through our work, become a better version of you, from the work that you do.”

“Never retreat, never explain. Get it done and let them howl.” Benjamin Jarrard

“Mistakes are part of the learning process, learn by doing and take the next step.”

“Leap and grow your wings on the way down.” Ray Bradbury
