In this episode, I share lessons from top business and marketing minds — and how we can apply them in the education space.

It’s easy to stay in our niche, but doing so can limit our growth. I explore what happens when we step outside and learn from others.

We cover pricing, client experience, creative thinking, and standing out in a busy market.

Takeaways

Loud voices don’t always reflect the majority.

Value justifies pricing — not what others are charging.

Client experience leaves a lasting impression.

Creative thinking and logic go hand in hand.

We don’t need to be everywhere to stand out.

Plan for dips in motivation to stay consistent.

Looking outside our niche keeps us fresh and relevant.

Sound bites

"Are we listening to the loudest voices or the right ones?"

"People remember how we made them feel."

"Emotions aren’t the opposite of logic."

Enjoy :-)
