One of the most frequent questions I am asked pertains to curriculum choice, and because curriculum is one of the main pillars of your homeschool or micro-school, we must take time to make a good decision when it comes to the materials we use to teach our children!

In today's episode, I share the two biggest curriculum choice mistakes I have made that cost me time, energy, space and peace. I hope you will walk away with a better understanding of WHAT NOT TO DO so you can have a great school year full of passion, peace and profit!

You’ll need your notebook today or a blank google doc!  In today's episode, I share a second part of planning that is absolutely vital to a successful school year.   In this episode, I’m going to share how I use the Welcome Letter and Enrollment for to actively collect information on my future students and my own children using the Not Consumed Planner 

If you don't have the "Not Consumed" PLanner- no worries! A notebook will do just fine!  YOU KNOW all the thrills and frills of having a new planner. If you don’t have this…don’t pull out your credit card. You can do this in another planner or a notebook. But either way, I’ll take you through another critical step that may seem like more time upfront but it will actually save you time in the future.  This is how I plan for each student in our micro-school- not just my own!

This may be your first time homeschooling or preparing to run a micro-school and so many thoughts are running through your mind:  What will this year look like? Feel like? How will I make this work? What curriculum do I purchase? How will I know my child is on track? Who will I partner up with? Where will we go? How can I make this fun for them and for me!  The most frequent question I receive when it comes to starting a micro-school or homeschooling= what curriculum do you choose?

IN today's episode, we are going to tackle a strategy that helps you gain more clarity and create a plan that actually answers the questions that are taking up all the space in your mom or teacher brain!  This will help you understand where you want to go.  We don’t want to start jumping and hoping it will all work out. 

This is the first step I take in making one of the biggest decisions of the school year- curriculum choice.

Hey there, Teacher Friend! I know what it is like to sit on the fence and wonder if it is time to break away and begin my own journey of entrepreneurship. I understand all of the deep emotions, fears, overwhelm, and uncertainty.

But I also understand the liberation that comes from a life well designed and lived when you are able to create your own business, your own legacy, and an asset to continue building upon.

In today's episode, I take you through 5 questions that will help you reflect and determine whether or not you are ready to begin building your own dream school! These are going to make you think deeply about the current lifestyle you have and whether or not you are ready to take the plunge!
