Hey there, teacher friend!
Boy do I have a treat for you today! Having a homeschooling business allows you to customize the services you provide in multiple ways. Many teachers may be looking for an alternative to full time instruction and searching for more flexible hours. In today's episode, I explain a high value marketable service you can provide students and families. This model offers flexibility and a unique partnership between parents, students and teachers.
Whether you choose to take the micro-school approach or homeschooling business approach, each model is customizable and easily adaptable to the idea I share today.
I hope you walk away feeling inspired to create a business you love as a teacher!
Let Your Light Shine,
Makenzie Oliver

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!

Today I share 10 Compelling reasons to build a micro-school, so you can make an impact on your family, community all the while- leaving a legacy!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Hey, teacher friend!
Want to know the most common statement I receive from teachers? "I don't want to keep doing what I'm doing, but I feel so stuck! I know I'm just comfortable and afraid to make a change." I know this for myself as well. However, I will say this...the comfort zone is a sneaky, silent trap to keep us away from our purpose and destiny. We must be aware!
In today's episode I share the advice I've received to push through the comfort zone. We will get unstuck and gain momentum to do the hard and scary things! Even if you hear yourself saying, "What if I make a change in my career and I don't like it? This is too hard! I don't know what to do! How do I push through when I am tired or overwhelmed?" Today you'll be able to pry yourself out of the comfort zone with these 3 ideas!

It’s time to ReDream Education!
My name is Makenzie Oliver. Microschool founder, VELA connector, educator, coach, and believer in the power of starting small, dreaming boldly, and rebuilding the future of education one courageous step at a time.
If you're here, it's because something in your life, your classroom, your family, your child, or your community, is asking for a new dream. A wiser dream. A ReDream. With ReDream Education, we challenge the old models, we rethink what learning can be, and we build innovative pathways for children, families, and communities.
In this weekly podcast, in our Facebook group, in our blog, and in our membership program, you will will gain systems, strategies, stories, and soul work you need to design personalized learning, understand how education is changing for the better, start or scale a micro-school, lead with confidence, make a change for your family, and create an education model that actually works for today's world; because you aren't just dreaming of something different - you are building it.
This is a place where we reinvision what school can be, reimagine how children learn, and rebuild the systems that were never designed to meet the needs of our future and current generation. With ReDream Education, we share insights, strategies, stories, and tools to teach our children better, transform learning at home, support innovative education models, and invest financially or personally in the future of students everywhere.
Because you aren't just dreaming about a better education, you are part of the movement to create.
This is where the future begins.
