Why Niching Down Is the Most Profitable Move You Can Make

In this episode of the CEO Teacher® Podcast, I’m diving into the mindset shift that could make or break your teacher business: niching down. If you’ve been creating for every grade and every teacher, only to feel invisible and overwhelmed—this one’s for you. Because when you try to serve everyone? You serve no one. But when you speak directly to your people? Magic happens.

We’re wired to help everyone—but in business, that leads to burnout. I’ll share how I went from scattered offers to building a brand that speaks to one ideal teacher. You’ll learn why getting specific helps your content land, your people connect, and your business grow with purpose. Let’s stop trying to reach everyone—and start building for the right ones.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why trying to serve everyone is holding your business back

• The top 3 reasons generic content pushes people away

• How niching down builds trust, clarity, and community

• The 5-step framework to get specific about your audience

• How to speak directly to your people in a way that sticks
