Exklusiv zum 30. Jubiläum gibt es einen Audio-Walk durch die Gärten der Wunder im Disneyland. Dieser Podcast ist fast 1:1 übersetzt vom offiziellen Podcast vom Disneyland Paris. Dieser Podcast hat mich einige Stunden und Arbeit gekostet. Anmerkung: Dies ist nur ein Fanprojekt und hat KEINERLEI kommerziellen Absichten. Bei Bedenken bezüglich der verwendeten Soundeffekte/Musik, wäre ich sehr dankbar mir eine Mail zu schreiben, damit ich diese wieder entfernen kann. Vielen Dank! Lob ist auch gerne gesehen. :-)

Things are getting intense! But towards the mid-end of this, I give some other options with online teaching for companies not affected by the China ban. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel! We've got this, we need to stay strong! ⭐

Valli and her husband were in a state of shock upon learning their newborn son, Battle, was born with a genetic mutation that resulted in severe hearing loss. Valli stuffed her anxiety and didn’t share her fears with anyone. She felt alone, ashamed, and that she was not allowed to have these feelings. Embarrassed that she felt so sad about Battle’s diagnosis. She wished her healthcare team could have acknowledged how difficult it was to receive the diagnosis, reassure her that Battle would thrive, and connect her with a support group. Valli grieved the mainstream motherhood experience that she had envisioned. Despite their best intentions, friends and family repeated “He will be fine”, a phrase that minimized Valli’s grief. More helpful would have been hearing, “This must be really hard. We will stick by your side and support you.” It is important to feel your grief and move through it – on your own timeline. Valli recommends that parents of children with hearing loss surround themselves with a trusted, supportive team that is united in purpose and vision and seek reputable experts and resources. Parents should trust their instinct and intuition as they know their child the best. When four months pregnant with her daughter, Harper, Valli had in utero genetic testing performed. Valli knew her baby had a 1:4 chance of hearing. Valli focused on that 25%. Upon hearing that Harper would be born with hearing loss, Valli felt complete disbelief, surprise, and sadness. She grappled with knowing how challenging it was going to be to navigate the medical appointments, surgeries, and caring for two children with hearing loss. Battle and Harper are hard-working teenagers who are resilient, adaptable, and thriving. They need to work harder than their hearing peers to learn, to socialize, to play sports. They have not grown out of hearing loss, they have adapted to it. Valli’s strength came from praying, surrendering, serving others, and finding purpose. Believing that there was a bigger plan and seeking the blessing. Writing about her children and their shared journey through hearing loss has become her mission. Valli’s inspiration came from within; from her desire to create a joyful home. One of the biggest blessings that has come from Valli’s journey is her gift in speaking to, guiding, and inspiring others. Valli’s greatest hope is that her children be joyful, discover and leverage their talents, and serve others. Harper, now thirteen years old, is a first-time author. She and Valli co-wrote Now Hear This – Harper Soars with her Magic Ears, a book describing her experience living with hearing loss. The book is based on Harper’s fourth grade journal entry “What makes you unique?” Writing a book together was fun and yet challenging. After working on the book for years, it felt weird and surreal holding the published book in her hands for the first time. Throughout this process, Harper learned patience and collaboration. Writing a book was not easily and involved numerous steps. Valli is encouraging Harper to write her next book. Harper would want children with hearing loss to know that they can excel in school and sports; though they will have to adapt, their hearing loss will not prevent participation in daily activities. Harper would want hearing teens to know that her hearing loss has not stopped her. Harper feels that her hearing loss allows her to be more understanding of people and the challenges that they may be facing, to be less judgmental. Harper has become somewhat of a celebrity amongst children with hearing loss; they look up to and want to be just like Harper.

In addition to teaching with VIPKid I recently started teaching with GoGoKid as well and today I'm going to answer some questions about why I made that decision. ========== Questions from this episode: How has your teaching style changed at GoGoKid, if at all? Have you had to prepare additional props for GGK or is the material similar enough that you don't have to? Is it worth the headache to add a second company? What have you done about the dress code and branding in the classroom? Can you book the 9 & 9:30 pm (BJT) time slots with GoGoKid? ========== Apply to VIPKid: https://www.vipkid.com/mkt/landing/personal?referralToken=97eedee5f579c3a143b9e9e1923d368b&refereeId=3293643 My VIPKid Referral code (if you've already applied): MICHA0029 Apply to GoGokid: https://teacher.gogokid.com/?channelId=344&referralId=HNCNCCQPUX2 My GGK Referral code (if you've already applied): HNCNCCQPUX2 ========== TESOL Certificate for $19: https://offers.internationalopenacademy.com/teacher__michael/course/tesol-course *this is an affiliate link ========== My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/michaelvenn My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teacher__michael/ My Website: https://www.teachermichaelonline.com/ My E-Mail: email.teacher.michael@gmail.com ==========

Brooke Jones and Marta talk about remote work from Brooke’s ranch in Sevier County. Brooke has an Associate Degree from Western Governors University in Child Development and works remotely as an ESL teacher for Magic Ears, an English education company based in Beijing, China. She has a TESOL certificate and is working towards her Bachelor’s Degree.
Starting a Print on Demand business is a cheap type of business, but even the modest costs involved can be more than some people can afford. If what's holding you back from success is a lack of funds to open an Amazon account, list on Etsy, or fulfill orders, there are a lot of work from home things you can do that are generally easy to get started doing, and will help "fill in the gaps" financially speaking. Almost all of these are very much like traditional jobs, where you trade your time for money, but they are all things that can be done from home, instead of driving to a job like everyone else. 1. Freelancing on Fiverr with writing, translation, or proofreading. Fiverr is a very flexible freelance site, but there are others. Check out this article for a hundred more: https://moneypantry.com/get-paid-to-write/. 2. Amazon Customer Service Rep - Many of these positions are home based, and require only a computer with internet to perform the work. Find out more here: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/locations/virtual-locations. 3. Teaching English to kids online - VIPKids is a site that can match you to children overseas, mainly in China who will learn to speak and write English from YOU! Another site with the same concept is Magic Ears. The hourly rates are around $20-26 per hour, but the work is not guaranteed. 4. Shopify Customer Guru - Shopify is the world's Premiere ecommerce platform with millions of different sites, and they have a number of remote positions, some of which do not require a lot of experience. Check out this link for more details: https://www.shopify.com/careers/specialties/support 5. Medical Coding - I don't have a clue what this is, but usually anything to do with the medical industry is highly sought after, with lots of opportunity across the US. Learn more here: https://www.verywellhealth.com/work-from-home-as-a-medical-coder-4144780 6. Virtual Assistant - A VA is a person who performs work for a business from a virtual location. Usually these jobs are not very high paying, but they are quite easy to get, and it is usually extremely flexible. Upwork is a good place to get started. 7. Teaching online is a growing trend, and may someday even replace colleges and universities. Find out more at www.takelessons.com. 8. Remote IT work - This type of position tends to be much more like a regular job, with hours of work and specific prerequisite skills, but a degree is not generally required. The ability to code, manage databases, or develop websites is massively in demand, and many positions are offered remotely. Many major corporations offer these positions, usually found on their careers page. 9. Freelancing with photo or image manipulation, or general design work. Upwork, and Fiverr are leaders for this type of work, but they are not the only places. Even Shopify has information for people looking for work in Graphic Design: https://www.shopify.com/partners/jobs/graphic-design?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxqWF_dbJ4wIVif5kCh3PHQvSEAAYBCAAEgJYnfD_BwE 10. Do your regular job...at home! Office work is almost all computer based these days, and much of it can be done from home. Many people have simply asked their company if they can work remotely, and found that the answer was yes! The obvious benefits include a shorter workday (hopefully), more comfortable surroundings, flexible hours, and no more commute. There are hundreds more ideas like the ones here, but this should get you started. Your long term goal might be to have a regular job, and run your business as a part time side hustle, and one of these ideas might be a good fit for that. Check out more at www.salesondemandshow.com!

In this episode Janice talks about working with multiple online ESL companies (Magic Ears, gogokid, VIPKid), how she manages her scheduling, and not putting all her eggs in one basket. As a former brick & mortar teacher of 12 years, Janice always liked the idea of working from home but never thought it would be possible as the director of an 85 piece band. Thankfully, she found the world of online teaching which has changed the course of her work, life, and the balance she strikes between the two.
