Steps to Actually Going from Zero to Business - When I Grow Up

Steps to Actually Going from Zero to Business - When I Grow Up Take the Next Step by Hunter Haines If  my middle name wasnt Leslie, itd be Build A Creative Career That Youll Love. I think itd be  Rebecca Traceys middle name, too which is why I loved hearing her perspective on how to make it happen. Heres her super-smart and insightful take: Let’s face it. Our beloved interwebs is overflowing these days with advice about how to quit your job and do what you love. And I couldn’t be more thrilled that so many people are jumping on board (or jumping ship? Which is it?) and deciding to do their own thing. It’s really amazing and inspiring to see so many people following what moves them. It can also be really overwhelming. They make it seem to easy, don’t they!? And it can be easy if you understand ahead of time what you’re getting yourself into, and you set yourself up for success. So I wanted to give a little breakdown of what I see as the Big Picture in how to make your dream online business happen. You know the one that lets you work from anywhere (I am currently in the airport on my way to Santo Domingo, where I will be living for the next few months). There is a LOT that goes into making this kind of lifestyle sustainable, and I wanted to chunk it up into 3 parts so you have an idea of where to start and where you are headed. Without further ado, here are the Three Major Steps to building a creative career that you love! 1. Find an idea. Sounds simple. Trust me, it’s not always as easy as you want it to be. There are so many factors to consider! It’s a sweet combination of what you love to do, what you’re good at, what wouldn’t drive you totally mental if you had to do it everyday from now til the distant future, and what people will actually PAY you for. Oh, and of course, all of that has to be smooshed together to fit the kind of lifestyle you actually want to have. It’s a lot to think about. And my best advice is to get about 70-80% clear on something that feels good, and roll with it! It will change and evolve as you go. Most of us get stuck in analysis paralysis mode, endlessly waiting for the PERFECT idea to come to us, and never being willing to start before we really feel ready. Don’t let this happen to you! Pick something that feels close enough, and run with it.   Nothing is un-changeable and it will evolve as you go. 2. Learn to run a business (and fall in love with learning). The dirty little secret of all entrepreneurs is that we didn’t start out being in love with our businesses. We started out being in love with the passion behind our business, and the lifestyle our businesses would bring us. But we didn’t love learning to make a website, and figuring out how to make sure our newsletters got sent on time, and learning about marketing, and branding, and customer service, and how the hell to find your first clients, and the best scheduling software to use, and accounting and bookkeeping, and UGH so many things! They don’t really tell you when you start a passion-based business that you’re going to have to take on about 100 other jobs. But it’s part of the game. And the sooner you learn to love the business side of your business, the better it will work out for you. And you never know where it will bring your business when you have all these new skills under your belt! I’m SO in love with the business side of my business now that I’m actual ly teaching a course to new coaches about how to jumpstart their coaching businesses! Starting out as an entrepreneur usually means about 20% doing your thang, and 80% other business-y stuff and if you hate what you spend most of your time doing, you’ll never stick with it. Fall in love. 3. Stay motivated and keep moving forward. You get a great idea. You take all the business courses. You’re ready to rock. But then it doesn’t happen as fast as you want. You start to feel overwhelmed. You start to question whether you even want this anymore. Where are the clients? How the hell are you going to afford your rent at this rate? Here’s where most people drop off the face of the entrepreneurial planet. They expect results IMMEDIATELY, and when they don’t get them, they freak out. But please don’t let that be you! If I have learned anything in my coaching business, it’s that the ones who succeed are the ones who believe that it is possible. The ones who, even when the going is tough and they have no idea HOW they will make it happen, keep plugging forward, problem solving, trying new things, and believing in their vision. That’s what makes the difference between a successful entrepreneur and one who doesn’t make it. Stay connected to why you started this business in the first place, get excited about what is possible, and keep on truckin’. Small baby steps add up, but you must keep taking the steps! I’d love to hear what step you’re in with the process! Just getting ideas? Learning the business side of business? Keeping yourself psyched about what the future of your business holds?

7 Sweet Summer Jobs For Teachers - Work It Daily

7 Sweet Summer Jobs For Teachers - Work It Daily As a kid, I remember thinking teachers had great jobs because they got to take summers off. I didn't quite grasp the challenges of the position nor did I understand that, unlike their students, teachers do not spend the Summer at sleep-away camp or catching up on video games. I still think that teachers have great jobs, although for entirely different reasons. They get to play a meaningful role in the lives of their students, they solve new problems every day, they are constantly challenged and constantly learning. Best Summer Jobs For Teachers While very few teachers have the privilege of taking summers off, their unique schedules do allow them to take advantage of some cool opportunities. Here are a few: 1. Teaching Abroad Spending your summer teaching abroad can be a wonderful change of pace from the U.S. education system. These jobs also give you the opportunity to travel and experience a foreign culture with new students. Abbey Road is one great organization that offers jobs of this type. Qualifications include experience working with teenagers, experience of work, study or travel in your destination country, fluency in the local language, passion and professionalism, and a college degree. Responsibilities include teaching classes, supervising students and being on-call up to six days a week. Compensation includes airfare, room and board, and a weekly allowance for incidental expenses. 2. Camp Staff Working at a summer camp involves many of the same skills and responsibilities as teaching, but in a more laid-back and enjoyable environment. As a teacher, you should qualify for more than just a position as a counselor, so look for a job that involves some administrative or supervisory responsibilities to earn a higher wage. Qualifications generally include prior experience working with youth, as well as evidence of competency in any additional area of responsibility (e.g. administrative, teaching subject). You should expect to supervise campers, lead group activities and to be on-call at night. Pay generally ranges from $175 to $400 weekly, with provided room and board. 3. Tutoring By taking advantage of your contacts with colleagues, students and parents, you should have no trouble finding tutoring opportunities if you want them. In addition to tutoring students in the subjects you teach, it may be worth considering tutoring in other areas. If you scored well on a graduate school admissions test when applying for your Master of Education, for example, you might be able to earn $50 to $100 an hour tutoring graduate school applicants. 4. Summer School Of course, you always have the option of taking a summer position in the education field. Summer school jobs are usually comparable to your school-year job, but the shorter hours will allow you some time to enjoy the spoils of summer. 5. Freelance Work English teachers have more than adequate writing abilities for many freelance jobs. Many STEM teachers will have the necessary skills for work in web design, computer science, or online education fields. Working from home and making your own hours may also feel like a treat after nine months of rising early to commute to a crowded classroom! It is hard to generalize about freelance work because you will likely end up working for multiple employers and negotiating your own deadlines and wages. A good bottom-line for negotiating is not to accept any job that would pay less than you make as a teacher. 6. Institute Of Reading Development This organization provides literacy programs that seek to instill a lifelong love of reading in students. Unlike most literacy programs, the institute not only provides classes for children, but also trains parents in how to nurture and support their children’s literacy development. Responsibilities include preparing lesson plans, teaching children and parents, reporting student data and more. Qualifications include a love of reading, leadership, warmth, professionalism, intelligence, and communication skills. Compensation ranges from $500 to $700 a week. 7. Jobs In The Great Outdoors Tired of working in a classroom? Get a job working to conserve the environment by building mountain bike trails, building bridges and/or leading a crew of youth environmental conservationists! You must be positive, articulate, hard-working, comfortable getting your hands dirty and physically fit. Responsibilities include supervising youth, construction and, in some cases, being on call at night. Pay ranges from $260 to $575 a week. However you end up spending your summer, you should aim for a position that will give you a break from the particular stresses of the school year. As much as any teacher loves his or her job, the work can sometimes feel exhausting. A summer job should be a position that offers challenges and rewards of its own, so that you can return to teaching refreshed and invigorated.
