December 14, 2021 Ep 30: Tuition, Contracts, Payment Plans, Discounts and Ideas for Your Micro-school, Homeschooling Business or Preschool! Creating a Strong Financial Foundation!
Hey, teacher friend!
One of the most frequent questions I get asked from teachers, regarding the start of their business is, "How do I collect tuition for my micro-school, homeschool or homeschooling business? Should I ask for full payments upfront, or do I request payments by the month or semester? What should be in my contract? " Well, let's get into some nitty gritty today!
Not only do we have to consider HOW we will collect payments, we need to FIRST identify HOW we will communicate our policy for collecting tuition and ways to set our business up for financial security. In addition, many teachers ask about payment plans, discount packages, incentives for paying in full, deposits, and ways to secure financial assets. These are all so imperative!
This is where contracts come in! Yes, today we discuss how contracts can help us communicate effectively and the policies needed for financial security. I also share my experience with collecting tuition payments, options for securing deposits and how to set your business up for success when it comes to all the moving money pieces!

December 10, 2021 Ep 29: How Do You Keep Student Records in a Homeschooling Business? What are the Requirements for Documenting in a Micro-School?
Hi, teacher friend!
As teachers, we all know the requirements for record keeping, grading, progress monitoring and updating all the "system" information for our students. But one of the most frequent questions I get asked about a HOMESCHOOLING BUSINESS or a MICRO-SCHOOL is... "How do you keep records? What does it look like in this new teaching arena?"
And let me tell you, teacher friend, IT'S NOTHING like you've had to do before!! Get excited! But also...get informed!
And what a great question it is! Not matter what state, country or province you live in, you must follow state guidelines for homeschool requirements and homeschooling other children in your private tutoring business or micro-school. Today I answer some of the most frequent questions I receive in regards to testing, record keeping, grades and so forth!
"Do I keep the record, or do the parents?"
"Do I have to file annual reporting?"
"What does grading look like?"
"What are my state Requirements, Laws, and regulations?"
If you're new to this and feel overwhelmed with the legalities because you have "Never done this before!" I'm here to help!

November 30, 2021 Ep 26: Self Employment Fears (Uncertainty, Judgement and Struggle)! Ways To Overcome and Experience True Teacher Change
Hey, Teacher Friend!
In today's episode, we tackle 3 BIG Fears we ALL face when making a change-especially when it comes to self-employment. Teachers, listen up! We have been conditioned to stay safe-expect your weekly/monthly pay check, have your holidays and summers off, get retirement, benefits...and keep doing what you're doing.
But what if "what we are doing" just isn't sparking our teacher flame anymore? How do we push through the FEARS to make a change and give up what we've been taught to hold on to "security"? Uncertainty, Judgement and Struggle: 3 Fears we must tackle in an effort to experience true teacher change.
How do we get over these fears? Get out a piece of paper. It's Fear Bustin' Time!

November 23, 2021 EP 24: How to Decide on Curriculum for Your Homeschooling Business or Micro-School! Teacher Choice, Passion, Student Engagement and Learning Beyond the Standards
Hey, Teacher Friend!
I am most often asked, “What curriculum do you use? How did you decide?” Well this topic, LIGHTS ME UP! We all know that the DEATH TRAP of a teacher’s JOY is not being able to teach what we feel matters or makes a difference in our students' lives! Teaching to standards and measures beyond our means can lead to stealing our joy and ultimately destroys the love for what we do!
Have you ever said, "The curriculum we follow doesn’t allow us to XYZ. Your child is performing well below grade level and the curriculum is going at such a pace, it increasing the gap further." or "The curriculum or the standards causing us to be “trapped” in a box!"
Well, it's absolutely liberating to know that YOU GET TO CHOOSE the curriculum for your micro-school or homeschool! Today we focus on high value education, choosing curriculum with meaning and knowing "Why" we are choosing a certain method or movement to ensure we are teaching with passion and expertise!
This is a good one! Get out your notebook!

November 19, 2021 Ep 23: Taking the Fear Out of Finding Students for Your Micro-School or Homeschooling Business! Simple Advertising Techniques for Teachers!
Hey, Teacher Friend!
"Help! I am NOT a salesman...I am a Teacher!" This is what I hear often when I speak with teachers who are anticipating their first micro-school opening, and are afraid to get his/her first clients/students. They often ask, "How Do I find my first set of students? What do I do? I need action steps!" I can relate. I felt the same way! But the good news is...there is no need to fear, act "salesy", or hustle to find your first paying clients.
In today's episode, I discuss the action steps I took to take the scare out of trying to start a business and then go find your clients. Advertising is an important part to opening your doors and ensuring students come. However, it's not the hardest part of this journey-it's the most rewarding. If you think I stood out on the street with signs, or had banners waving outside my house...no! I didn’t have a yard sign.
I used THE MOST powerful tool to get our fabulous students-one in which we all have. Tune in to see what it is!

November 16, 2021 Ep22: The First Action Step You Must Take in Order to Successfully Build Your Micro-School or Homeschooling Business!
Hey, teacher friend!
Wouldn't it be great if everyone went to work loving work and feeling fulfilled in completing the mission they have laid before them. Isn't it THE GOAL? If you have lost your teaching passion, but you truly want to do what you have always dreamed of (teaching)... Listen up!
Today I'll be sharing the number one, most important strategy you must take action with before beginning your micro-school or homeschooling business! It's the most important, foundational piece that allows you to gain clarity and momentum in meeting your goals and fulfilling your destiny with this business.
I get so many teachers ask me really great questions such as “How do I find clients? What curriculum do I choose? How much do you charge? How did you set up LLC? Tuition? School Day?” Those are important. But they are not the MOST important.
We need to become obsessed with this piece of advice today in order to restore our passion and change the course of our course of life and career. Today, you will hopefully be able to find your passion and amplify it.

November 12, 2021 Ep 21: 3 Steps To Succeed In Your Teacher Career Change and Begin Building Your Microschool!
Hey, teacher friend!
One of the most frequent questions I receive is, "What should I do RIGHT NOW to begin transitioning out of my current teaching role?" We all appreciate tangible steps, so today I'll be sharing personal insight and steps to help you successfully make the transition so you are not riding on the HOT MESS EXPRESS bus!
In today's episode, I give you practical tips to help you skill up, prepare mentally, lay down distractions and be proactive rather than reactive. Your time, effort and commitment are required when it comes to make a change, and many times we are required to "get out" before knowing the next steps. Many times we make a career change regardless of the unknown because we are CALLED to step out and enter our new season of life!
