"Make a decision about which direction you wanna head towards. Start walking and don't do anything else for 30 days" - John Healy

We chat with John Healy about education businesses, how indecision stagnates us, and what teachers can do to execute as entrepreneurs. 

John Healy is the founder of My Speaking Score - an AI-powered platform that helps non-native English speakers prepare for the TOEFL Speaking test with confidence. From building a consulting business to teaching in Korea to now founding an edtech company, John's career in ELT is vast. He joins us to talk teaching and education businesses. 

 

In our discussion, we dive into:

  • navigating self-doubt 
  • analyzing risk - and why people should take more of them
  • why people are reluctant to make decisive decisions 
  • outcome businesses vs hourly rates
  • balancing passion and profit in education
  • powering through early business struggles
  • how ideas are easy and execution is difficult
  • being obsessive over getting your customer their results
