Welcome to the Get Richer Teacher Podcast. My name is Ola and I'll be your guide and mentor on your way to a profitable, sustainable, but most importantly, enjoyable language education business. And why would you care to do that? To build a business like that? Because there is literally no other way.The language education market is in a bizarre state. Companies making millions in profit yet paying teachers peanuts. Native speakerism is still way too powerful. And finally, the students are bored of the same old formats and messaging telling them to speak like a native.I'm here to shake things up. To educate and motivate a community of teachers who have the courage to build businesses and teach the language on their own terms, both solo or in their own language schools, and have a positive impact on their students and the world. Because teachers are superheroes. Let's claim it today!Want to become part of the community, never miss an episode and get a free 'How to get richer as a teacher' checklist.

    Episode 167 How to win with fear that's holding you back in your language business

    Fear holds many of us back from taking the next step – whether in business or life. But here's the truth: fear is normal, and it doesn't have to control you. In this episode, I dive deep into the different types of fear that can paralyze us, from fear of failure to fear of rejection and why it's important to move through fear – so you can finally start showing up for yourself and your business.Key Takeaways:Fear is not the enemy. It's just information from your body signaling uncertainty or potential threats. The key isn't to eliminate fear – it's to understand what kind of fear is holding you back and move forward anyway. Action vs. Movement. Overthinking keeps you stuck. Action is intentional and structured, but movement is what actually creates momentum. You don't need all the answers to start – you just need to move. And if fear makes you freeze? Body doubling – having someone work alongside you or just keeping your hand – can help you push through and stay accountable.Balance strategy with execution. Over-planning can be just as harmful as rushing in without direction. The best approach? Reflect, prepare, commit – and then move forward.Embracing discomfort is the key to growth. The fear of the unknown is real, but growth happens when you learn to sit with uncertainty and keep going anyway. Clarity and confidence come from movement, not from thinking about moving.Get your access to my on-demand free ‘Plan your language course worth gold' mini course and create your amazing group language program in less than 90 minutes!

    Many language teachers either overestimate or underestimate how long it actually takes to launch a course. Some think it's a never-ending process, while others assume they can launch overnight. The truth lies somewhere in between. With a clear plan and marketing strategy, the process is both manageable and predictable. And it's entirely doable within a few months. In this episode I break down the key steps to launching successfully – without getting stuck in perfectionism or confusion.Here's what we cover in this episode:The different starting points for educators – whether working for a school, freelancing, or already selling group courses – and how that impacts the launch timeline.The biggest trap that slows down course creation.How to create a course outline that actually sells.How to build a marketing strategy that connects with the right audience (hint: it's not just posting random language tips on Instagram).Why a structured launch plan makes all the difference.How launching gets easier (and way more fun!) the more you do it – and how that helps you sell more.If you're ready to move from idea to launch, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need!Get your access to my on-demand free ‘Plan your language course worth gold' mini course and create your amazing group language program in less than 90 minutes!

You've thought about group programs, maybe even launched one—but why isn't it selling like you hoped? The truth is, selling groups is a completely different game than selling one-to-ones. In this episode, I break down exactly what's going wrong and how to fix it.Key takeaways;Grouping students by level isn't enough. Just because students share a language level doesn't mean they share the same goals.Crafting a group program that actually sells is about creating a transformational journey for a specific type of client.Being afraid to focus on a smaller audience is what's keeping you stuck.

    In episode 151 of Get richer, teacher podcast we're taking a sneak peek into what it's like to work with me inside my coaching program, the Rocket Accelerator. If you've been following my content and wondering if you should join the program, then this is for you!This episode is all about the types of questions my clients bring to our sessions—questions that you might be thinking about yourself—and how these conversations open up new paths and create real change.The Practical “How-Do-I” QuestionsClients often start with straightforward questions like “How do I find clients?” or “What should I post?” These are essential building blocks, and we use them as a foundation to uncover deeper needs and build confidence.The Mindset BattlesSo many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed or stuck, asking, “Why can't I get this done?” or “How do I keep going when it feels hard?” Together, we explore what's actually behind those feelings. It's not just about finding a quick fix—it's about breaking through old habits, setting new foundations, and reconnecting with the “why” behind their business.The Prioritisation DilemmaA classic question that comes up often is, “Where should I put my energy first?” With so many demands on your time, it's easy to feel pulled in a hundred directions. In our sessions, we tackle how to prioritise in a way that drives real progress. I help my clients get clear on what truly matters so that every step they take is effective and aligned with their bigger vision.Alignment and StrategyAs we go deeper, clients start bringing questions like, “How can I make this strategy feel like me?” This is where things get exciting. It's not about following someone else's blueprint—it's about building a business that feels like it truly belongs to you. We explore how to infuse your personality, style, and values into each aspect of your business.Big Aha! MomentsSometimes clients come to me feeling unfulfilled in their niche or questioning the path they're on. It's like, “Wait, why doesn't this feel good?” And often, these are signs it's time for a pivot. We work through these moments together, and they can be game-changers, sparking new ideas, fresh directions, and so much more energy.Growing Confidence and Self-CoachingOne of my favorite things is when clients start answering their own questions during our sessions! They'll say things like, “Actually, I think I've figured it out…” and it's such a win! This is the real transformation—watching them gain the confidence to make their own decisions, tackle challenges independently, and really take ownership of their journey.The Rocket Accelerator is way more than a set of business steps.

    Many people feel like success is out of reach, but in reality, there's a clear path to achieving it. While everyone's situation and timeline are unique, there are key patterns and elements that consistently lead to success.In episode 147 of the Get Richer, Teacher podcast, I break down these essential elements that will help you grow and succeed in your business.Here's a sneak peek of what I cover:Passion and resilience: Choosing a profitable niche isn't enough. It's your passion that will keep you going when things get tough. Without it, burnout becomes a real risk before you even see results.Radical responsibility: As a business owner, it's your responsibility to lead and sell. The success of your business depends on how well you communicate your offer, not on the perfection of your Instagram feed.Avoiding the bottleneck: One of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face is becoming the bottleneck in their own business. To scale, you need to automate processes and step back from doing everything yourself. But be careful not to create passive products prematurely if you don't have a large audience.Niching down: Trying to appeal to everyone can hold you back. Narrowing your focus and sharpening your message is key to scaling your business effectively.Tune in to the episode to dive deeper into building a business that's on the path to success.Hey, I'm Ola!For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses.

    What is your image of a salesperson? Perhaps you associate them with a pushy car salesman who uses manipulative techniques. Or maybe you picture someone who—even if they don't work as a salesperson—has a natural gift for persuasion and can always sway people to their side. We often imagine that selling is a skill you're born with. And while I do believe that a certain type of personality can make the transition to selling easier—like being extroverted, courageous, or energized by talking to people—the truth is, that's just a small part of the process. It's helpful, sure, but honestly, it's an insignificant piece of the puzzle when you truly understand what sales is all about.In Episode 141 of the Get richer, teacher podcast, I talk about three things you need to sell language courses without being manipulative.Listen to the episode to learn: How to make sure you won't have to persuade people to buy your course.
