The BUSINESS of being a Freelance Teacher What's the difference between a Freelance Teacher and an Entrepreneur? None. Because a Freelance Teacher is an Entrepreneur who runs a small business. The AIM: Survive the deadly fate of a “3-year fade out” of your teaching service business by helping you to: - Choose to earn a decent living from teaching (It’s your money and your job security.) - Choose to become an entrepreneurial freelance teacher An entrepreneurial freelance teacher means knowing how to maintain a strong business, find all the students you want to teach, and avoid under-earning by learning how to avoid under-pricing your services. The BELIEF: Teachers should be proud of what we manage to accomplish and not consider themselves as second-class servants of the community. It works both ways. Motivated teachers do fantastic jobs. A satisfied student is not going to talk about his education in such derogative tones. And the career of teachers (and their earnings) will rise in the esteem of society as a whole. The HOW: Most fledgling teaching services fail for just a few reasons: - information overload - too many choices (directions to go) - lack of confidence - sceptics in the family, friends, colleagues, etc. (1) Weekly short articles or tips with tiny incremental "to do" or learning steps. Freelance teachers suffer chronic time-problems. (2) Workshops and products (3) The Forum "Teacher's Den" (my symbol for safety, care, and guidance) community. The Entrepreneurial Freelance Teacher … is an Entrepreneur who runs a small business to solve problems of a specific person at a profit! http://www.ft-training.com The Business Approach to Your Teaching Service
