2025 is knocking and I know what you are thinking.
"Oh my God, the future is here and everything is so fancy and complicated."
The attention war will only get worse.
That can be your advantage. If you are are ready...
Let's unstuck and untangled.
Everything is essentially the same as it's always been.
The more complicated it seems, the simpler it is to grow a teaching business.
The only 3 things that matter:
Step 1: Start conversations
Step 2: Close deals
Step 3: Deliver good services
After step 3 you are back to step 1— improve message, close more deals, deliver more services....
The loop continues on and on.
If you are stuck on any of the steps, continue moving forward anyways. The answers you are looking for are found in the next step.
Everyone knows how to start a conversation, close deals, and deliver services.
You might not be good at it, but you have enough to start the looping.
If you are stuck on brand colors, your business name, your perfect client avatar...
Leave it for later.
If you are stuck on future problems like, "how can I add captions to my podcast that doesn't exist yet, to sell a product that doesn't exist yet...". Or "how do I pay taxes when I'm make x amounts..." "what happens when AI can do XYZ"
Also, leave it for later.
We all get entangled in complicated, fancy things.
When I do, I get back to the 3 steps that matter.
2025 will be the same.
Things may seem fancier, as we are caught up in a attention war that assaults our brain and try to highjack and fragment our attention every waking hour.
But in reality they remain the same.
Raise your defenses and keep it simple, and you will have a super advantage.

2 个月Ouch, ouch, and ouch Gydion!! These are things I need to hear. It's like taking my grandma's home remedy medicine years ago. It's good for me! Thank you.
Teaching people in ELT how to make money doing (almost) nothing. ?? I create and run online courses about investing ?? and making your money work for you instead of the other way around.?? Investing ? Money ? Finance ?
2 个月Laughed out loud at this line - ?"how can I add captions to my podcast that doesn't exist yet, to sell a product that doesn't exist yet... as I have totally heard variations on this so many times. The fear of paying taxes is one I see at the heart of why people don't start investing money too. Taxes are a pain but they mean you're making money and the way we have scared ourselves out of doing that is staggering. I saw someone posting on FB about how they'd super quickly turned off the cashback feature on money held in Wise because they'd have to pay tax on it. Insane!
