Welcome emerging teacherpreneur!
We can’t begin to tell you how excited we are that you’re here. Perhaps you're a teacherpreneur who has a current list of clients but can't seem to make the transition away from teaching 1:1 and the extra work that entails. Well, we're here to help you remove the shackles of 1:1 teaching and move towards asset-based teaching. Trust us, if you’re reading this, you ARE ready.
Ready for what? Well, people don’t land on this page unless they’re dedicated to achieving their goal.
About a year after we started Learn YOUR English, we were right where you are now. We were doing face-to-face and online workshops which were great, but we soon realized it wasn’t sustainable or scalable. Our energy levels couldn’t sustain it. We knew we couldn’t keep going like that, but we were not sure of what the next logical step was.
We were conflicted on the way forward.
And we definitely didn’t have a course or asset to sell, either.
And now, we’re happy to share some steps that worked really well for us, so you can do it, too.
Congrats on having an up and running business!
Next step: crossing $1K/month
Our thoughts on assets
An asset is the first step in selling something other than time.
A course is whatever you want it to be.
Don’t overthink it.

Start, then Learn.
One of the most difficult aspects of starting an online business is the amount of information available to you. While we’d never want you to just start something without a plan, we do find that information overload is a reality.
A big part of the desire to continue to learn actually comes from fear.
We’re afraid to get started.
What if we fail?
What if no one is interested?
What if no one buys my courses?
And all of these concerns are completely valid! But you’ll never know the answer if you don’t get started in some capacity. And we’re here to make that as easy and simple as possible for you.
We break every step down into simple, easy to follow steps so you can achieve your business goals without fear.
First thing’s first:
Let’s hone in on what an asset framework actually looks like.
We help you plan your first course in 60 minutes.
Our free guide to your first course
Your first step to adding an asset to your business. From idea to launch, this walks you through each step.
Accelerate to Fail
Accelerate to Fail
This is a mantra we adopted early on.
We asked ourselves: Would we rather spend two years working on something, only to find out no one wanted it?
Or find out now and not waste our time, with the option to pivot?
This was crucial in our development as a company. And certainly wasn’t one we did right away. But now that we know, we recommend that aspiring teacherpreneurs adopt it immediately.
Start, then learn.
Information overload is one of the hurdles that hold back teacherpreneurs. Consume, consume, consume and no action.
If you’re here, you’ve likely experienced that to an extent. So now, let’s stop consuming and start doing.
Put down that book. Start writing your own instead.
Launching a course isn’t easy.
It’s an iterative process.
Here’s part of how we did it.
Learn, then start.
Start, then learn.
Build in public.
Create accountability.
