Next Level University

“I wish WE had US at the beginning of our journey.”

We’ve been saying this over and over, in order for you to level up in any aspect of your life you need a mentor or a coach. You need someone who can guide you and teach you what you need to start, continue, and stop doing. Can you do it alone? Of course! But you don’t want to spend your entire time trying to achieve something when you could possibly achieve faster with someone’s guidance. In today’s episode, we share the reasons why we think a coach is very important and how to find the right one.

When we are too afraid to talk about difficult conversations or face the mirrors that have been haunting us, we are never going to grow. You have to remember that along with growth, development and success come growing pains. The universe isn’t against you, it’s just that you are now more aware of things that you once didn’t have any idea about.

We think everyone would agree when we say that there are so many things that school has not taught us. It feels like we were prepared theoretically, but not for real-world situations. So today we share the top things that we truly believe schools should have taught us. If any of these resonated with you, please let us know and tell us if you have more to add to this list.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…” Theodore Roosevelt

“Is your life better than you think it should be? Is it exceeding your own expectations?”

Success can be measured in more ways than one and sometimes, it’s what we measure it against that’s causing us to feel unsuccessful. At the end of this episode, we want you to understand that for as long as your awareness changes and improves, so does your definition of success. If you resonate with this podcast episode, please share it with your friends or family so that they too, can start the journey of self-improvement.

“Get out of your comfort zone and look for the money.”

Whatever advice we give in today’s episode, understand that it’s coming from a good place and that we too have been there. At some point, you are going to evolve and you are going to give more to your clients than you did a few months back. One of these days, you’ll realize that you need to start charging more in order for you to be efficient, to succeed, to sustain the business, and of course, to expand and help more people. We want you to dial in and check where you’re really at.

“I’m not bashing social media, I just want to make sure I’m using it to add value to our lives.” - Johanna Annunziata

We are so happy to have Johanna as our guest in today’s episode not only because she is doing something very noble, but her energy is just invigorating and inspiring. She is an educator who also runs a non-profit organization called Give Gratitude. We know her from being part of the Next Level University family and throughout this episode, you will see her glow as she speaks about her students and her passion for teaching.  Today she shares her insight into what it is like to teach in this day and age when most students have and are mostly glued to their social media accounts.

It would mean the world to Johanna and to Belmont Street Community School if you visit https://www.instagram.com/givegratitude2all and check out https://give-gratitude-shop.square.site/ as well.
