    How to re-spark creativity in your business

    How to re-spark creativity in your business

    I am back from my wedding month and 4 weeks break from my business, and wow, has it felt difficult to get back into the momentum again.

    I have felt a struggle with creativity myself and I know that this is something all business owners will face at some point in their journey (and multiple times).

    I have just had to re-spark the creativity in my own business and today I am going to share the main ways I do it.

    In this episode, you will hear:


    7 ways to boost your creative energy in business so that you can show up and build the business that makes the income you desire. There are some thing that I will share in this episode that may surprise you, but I promise, they work.

    And it’s our job as business owners to move through our resistance and ultimately ‘create’ because without that, you don’t have an online business.

    Are you an educator wanting to create a digital course or group program but have no clue how to start? My freebie: The Scalable Digital Course Roadmap is your first step. This is for the freelance / teaching business owners who are burning out from trading their time for money and are looking to create a digital course but have no clue where to start. I am giving you the 6 steps to turning your 1 x 1 students into a scalable course that will free you from the teaching treadmill.

    However, many people may not truly know why a course based online business model is so freeing and this is what I am talking about in this episode!

    In this episode, you will learn:
    The four ways online business can give you more freedom than you thought possible.Why I am so obsessed with selling courses and information based products online.And how this really is the model for someone who wants scalability, location freedom and to make a big income and impact.Are you an educator wanting to create a digital course or group program but have no clue how to start?

    How your teaching identity is keeping you broke in business

    How your teaching identity is keeping you broke in business

    This is probably one of my favourite topics to talk about: identity work and how it can truly change the game in your business.

    There is a big internal shift that needs to take place as you evolve from being an educator who earns from a boss, to being an Edupreneur who earns for themselves. Not only do you have to build new skills, but you have to step into a new version of you that can run a profitable business.

    You have to start identifying as a business owner and CEO, not ''just a teacher''. This can be one of the biggest blocks in scaling your business.

    It doesn't matter how much strategy you have, your teacher identity and energy that you bring will shape your results in business (and often sabotage them).

    In this episode, I share my story of how I had to really step into my CEO self and let go of old ''teacher'' identity for me to rise up in my business. I will show you
    how your energy will trump strategy over and over again, and that strategy cannot outperform a poor mindset and 'struggling/ victim' identity.

    You are going to learn:
    How important the way you perceive yourself / identify yourself is in your business success. How 'just a teacher' identity is most likely going to sabotage your success and cause repeat cycles that you don't want. How your identity and your 'beingness' is more important than your 'doing'. Tips on how to start shifting your identity from ''I am just a teacher'' to ''I'm a badass CEO and entrepreneur who makes their own money''. And how this can transform your business results.Are you an educator wanting to create a digital course or group program but have no clue how to start?

    Two key things to get your online education business to 6-figures

    Two key things to get your online education business to 6-figures

    In this episode, I share two key things that you would need to activate in yourself to grow a profitable business online. This concept hasn't been 'spoken' about anywhere else that I have seen and I really believe activating these two things, continuously and simultaneously in your business is really important.

    These two sides of you that you need to activate are:
    The creatorThe destroyerI really believe that having both of these parts of you activated in your business will lead to faster growth and momentum and I think every profitable online business owner embodies this creator and destroyer within.

    What 4 non-business activities have a direct ROI on your business

    What 4 non-business activities have a direct ROI on your business

    Sometimes the best activity you can do for your business has almost nothing to do with business itself. And this is what I am jamming on in this episode!

    In this episode, I share:
    How these 4 particular activities are 100% going to bring you a return on investment in your business.How it’s your duty as a business owner to make time and space for these three things.Without these 4 things, you won’t show up at your optimum level and your business will suffer as a result.

    Yes, it may not be possible to always get these 4 things right as life happens and things do sometimes slide. However, to not take them seriously at all and to sacrifice them because you need to ‘work more’ will be your greatest mistake for the health of your mind, soul and business.

I absolutely love this podcast. It instantly calms my fears and nerves about becoming a business owner. I am a classroom teacher of 16 years and I’m in the process of launching my first online program and Michelle’s podcast episodes are so helpful.
