21-Day Teacher-Entrepreneur Challenge

The 21-Day Teacher-Entrepreneur Challenge provided a very clear roadmap for TEs to follow to begin building their online coaching business. What I especially appreciated was the pacing of it and the fact that each day provided enough training and tasks to feel substantial but not so much that it felt overwhelming. The messaging was clear and the WhatsApp community aspect helped me feel like I wasn't doing the process alone. For those who are new to the TE life, this challenge is a perfect jumpstart to your business journey. It helps you set up the habits and mindset you need to go the distance. Read more >

I found the Teacher-Entrepreneur beneficial because all the tasks and training were organised and delivered in an easily digestible way. There was also a checklist I could complete as I progressed through the challenge to keep track of my progress, which helped me maintain my momentum. Furthermore, I was placed in a group chat with other people who were also doing the challenge for November. It was nice to know that I was part of a community during the challenge and not on my own. The video sessions also enabled me to see everyone, which added to the community feel.

On a another note, I particularly liked how Chat GPT was integrated into the challenge. I learnt how to use James's prompts to gain clarity on which niche to focus on, find out more about my chosen niche and create personal and niche challenge posts. Creating posts had been a great agony for me but after James... Read more >

It is astounding how much James and Stefy pack into just 21 days! It's as though they are mind readers, so well do they know the challenges we face as Teacher-Entrepreneurs. Do not hesitate to sign up - even if - or maybe ESPECIALLY if - like me, it is your second time. The challenge has been revamped and it is so much easier on the stress levels than the original. This time, carefully crafted Chat-GPT prompts cut through the overwhelming amount of information out there, giving you focus, speed and momentum.

By the end, you will have identified a niche (even if you're not sure it's the right one for you yet); you will have a sales script and strategies to search for your students plus a sample contract; you will understand the importance of keeping KPIs and a simple CRM from the start (using downloadable templates). You will update your LinkedIn profile, create... Read more >

I enrolled in April 2023 edition of the Challenge. The 3 weeks I spent learning flew so fast, especially because the Challenge was value-packed and I highly recommend enrolling to the next available edition. :) Read more >

I loved the 21 day challenge because I was able to make the idea for my legal English business more concrete. Read more >

I learned so much from this 21-day challenge! The challenge deals a lot with mindset, but the fact is that this is something we as ESL teachers do need help with. I appreciate the fact that we are helped to grow and become better teachers (specialists in one field), and this means we become qualified to charge more. It's not just - you're a teacher you should be charging $100 per hour. No - the course helped me see how I can improve to the point where I can confidently charge this.

What I found most helpful were the practical steps given in the daily video tutorials, which helped me narrow down my niche and focus on getting my business off the ground. Having Steffy and other mentors available for extra sessions and workshops is a bonus.
I was able to get my LinkedIn network going and growing and even had one strategy Zoom call from someone from my niche, in the... Read more >

This course is truly excellent. James and his very competent team take you on a step-by-step journey to a new place - not a dream but a reality - a place where you can really imagine and learn to be a Teacher Entrepreneur.
You will leave the course with a wealth of information. You will find yourself actually thinking of your new business and imagining yourself receiving the fees you deserve.
There are all sorts of new and wonderful things to learn on this course and you also have a mentor and the community beside you throughout the program, to help you find your way! Highly Recommended!!! Read more >

The Teacher-Entrepreneur Challenge is such a great investment. In three weeks, my mindset has completely changed in terms of what I believe my skills are worth. Each day's task builds on the previous one in a very incremental and manageable way. If you can dedicate an hour every day to it, and you don't let the tasks pile up, you won't get overwhelmed. The support that you get from the community of other teachers on the challenge creates a very positive atmosphere in which you celebrate each other's successes and help each other every step of the way. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Read more >

This this a motivating challenge which helps burgeoning entrepreneur teachers on their way toward more independence and self-sustaining business. What I particularly enjoyed and found most helpful were the worksheets and videos helping me hone my own specialization. This in turn enables me to assist a specific group of people in a way that adds value to their lives. Because of this, my students are willing to compensate what I offer at a higher rate.

I undertook the challenge as sort of bolstering behind me as I continue to build my business. While many teachers will find value in the social media information, copywriting and sales skills, I found a lot of helpful support in fine-tuning my niche messaging. It's about knowing your worth as a teacher, finding a specialization that values that worth, and making sure your clients can find you.
