The Advantages of Disadvantages
Leo, Mike, and Andrew talk about burnout in education, Learn YOUR English beginnings, their journey, and how teachers can overcome obstacles. Drawing parallels from stories presented in Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath - the beginning of French impressionism, why going to Harvard isn't necessarily an advantage, Ikea's controversial founding and more - they tackle how successful teaching businesses emerge from seeing advantages in disadvantages.
Specifically, they discuss:
creating non-obvious solutions to obvious problems
how to follow the path of most resistance
why French impressionists decided to be big fish in a small pond
Ikea as an example of the five-factor psychological model of successful enterprises
delaying gratification as one of the most important tools for a teacherpreneur
how to exercise the idea muscle
why becoming the person you want to be means challenging the person you currently are
