    Have you ever thought that educators can’t make good money in online business?

    Did you ever say to yourself ‘’I am not in a money-making niche and so I don’t think it is worth launching a course’’?

    Do you sometimes wonder if it is possible to have a wildly successful language business online that doesn’t involve one on one lessons?

    Then you need to listen to this episode.

    In this episode, I will share:

    • An incredible story of how our DBA student went from teaching one-on-one to making €57K in her online business selling courses alone
    • How she has had over 1000 students come into her business whilst offering almost no one on one lessons.

  • How to keep your students accountable so that they get results

    Send a text

    Hey, amazing one. Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    I was inspired by a conversation I had in the Instagram DM’s with someone who has been listening to my podcast. She shared a struggle with me and I realized that this is most likely a struggle that most people in online business will struggle with.

    The struggle was that she has a monthly membership where students get certain services a month, however, some of the students simply aren’t showing up to use it. She is carrying all this guilt about it. Do you feel guilty about your students paying you and not fully showing up in your containers/ courses/ memberships? Then this is the episode for you!

    In this episode, I will share:

    • The single most important thing you should understand about your students’ accountability and responsibility in your programs.
    • How to set up practical and energetic systems to prompt greater accountability, engagement and action from your students so they can get the best results.

    If you apply these things in your offers and containers, you will see an improvement in how students show up as well as the results they get. And you can finally let go of all that guilt that is energetically bringing you down so you can actually grow your business.

  • How to launch a membership offer in your business

    Hey, amazing one. Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    There is a big trend in businesses shifting to a membership model. Does this mean you should? No, but it is something worth talking about.

    Have you ever wondered if you should create a course or a membership offer? Or how to launch a membership? Then this is the episode for you!

    In this episode, I will share:

    • What the difference is between a core offer/ course and membership offer.
    • When to choose whether you want to focus on a course or membership offer.
    • How you would launch a membership offer online.

    Just because there is an uptick in membership offers and a lot of businesses are moving to this model, doesn’t mean you should too. Everyone’s dream business looks different, and the most important thing is to always intuition-test your decisions before you make them in business.

    This is the only way you build an aligned business you love.

  • 4 ways to take a break from your business over Christmas.

    Send a text

    Hey, amazing one. Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    Can you believe that Christmas is upon us? Where did the time go?

    Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I am hoping you can slow down at the end of this month to soak up some quality time with your family.

    As entrepreneurs, we tend to work all the time. We often LOVE to work because we are passionate about the work we do. However, this means we don’t rest enough and this leads to burn out.

    So this episode is all about the ways in which you can take a break from your business in this festive season so that you can re-energize yourself to grow your business in 2024.

    In this episode, I will share :

    • Four ways you can support yourself in taking a proper break so that you can spend guilt free time with your family this festive season.
    • A reminder that rest is sometimes the most productive thing we can do.
    • A permission slip to put in the boundary and let yourself have a complete break from your business so that you can kick start this new year with energy and creativity.

    I am most certainly going to be taking my own advice here and will be taking a break and so will my team over the 22nd December until the 2nd January. We will get to your questions or emails once we are back.

    Wishing you a beautiful, meaningful and delicious Christmas period with the people that matter most to you. Soak up these moments.

  • What to do in a bad launch?

    Send a text

    Hey, amazing one. Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    I thought I would bring up a really important topic today on the podcast and that is all about what we should do when our launches are going badly or have gone badly.

    A lot of content online is all about six-figure launches, making a lot of money, and I love that, don't get me wrong. However, the reality is that everyone in business will have less than ideal launches and sometimes complete flops.

    Let’s talk about it. The more we can have these kinds of conversations and normalise it, the less shame and mental suffering we feel.

    In this episode, I jam on:

    • The number one thing you need to do when your launch isn’t going ‘well’ or as you hoped.
    • Three strategic things you can do during and after your launch to either shift the launch entirely, or learn what you need to learn to improve it.

    Where the magic happens in your business and how one launch isn’t a dealbreaker, but just a tiny stepping stone in the journey.

    This is a great podcast to listen to if you are heading into a launch and feeling fear, if you are within a launch that isn’t going as you wanted it to, or if you have just finished a launch with a result way below your expectations.

    It’s time to normalise launches that don’t go well and realise that this is part of business and entrepreneurship. The sooner we can stop fearing it as this ‘big, bad’ thing, the sooner we can move through our fear, execute, launch, learn and start making the money we desire.

    If you have been loving this podcast, please go leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It would be so appreciated and allow my podcast to reach more people!
