In this podcast, she outlines the system, The Creative Educator Academy, that she used to become successful through education.

Here are the steps you need to follow to also get Profitability through education:

1. Identify what you want to teach

2. Identify how you want to teach it

3. Identify where you want to teach it

1. Identify what you want to teach

If you want to become an educator, the first step is to identify what it is that you want to teach. This may seem like a simple task, but it is important to put some thought into it.

What do you have knowledge about that you could share with others?

What are you passionate about?

What do you think would be helpful for others to learn?

Once you have a general idea of what you want to teach, you can start to narrow down the specifics.

What topics would you cover?

What format would you use?

Would you focus on one particular subject or would you cover a variety of topics?

These are all important considerations to make when planning your educational content.

Once you have a general idea of the topics you want to cover, it is important to start planning the specifics.

What format would you use?

Would you focus on one particular subject or would you cover a variety of topics?

These are all important considerations to make when planning your educational content. It is also important to think about your audience when planning your educational content.

Who do you want to reach with your content?

What are their needs?

What are their level of knowledge and understanding?

Taking the time to consider your audience will help you to create content that is truly helpful and useful to them.

2. Identify how you want to teach it

In order to teach effectively, it is important to first identify how you want to teach the material. This will vary depending on the subject matter and the audience you are teaching to.

Are you looking to teach in a formal setting, such as a classroom or online course? Or are you looking to informally teach through a podcast or speaking engagement?

Once you have identified the format you want to teach in, you can then begin to develop the curriculum and plan for how you will deliver the material.

It is also important to consider the learning style of your students when planning how you will teach the material.

Do they prefer to learn through listening to lectures, reading texts, or participating in hands-on activities? By catering to the preferred learning style of your students, you can increase the effectiveness of your teaching.

Finally, it is important to consider the level of experience your students have with the material you will be teaching. Are they complete beginners, or do they have some prior knowledge? This will affect how much detail you need to go into when explaining the concepts.

By taking the time to consider how you want to teach the material, you can ensure that your students have the best possible learning experience.

3. Identify where you want to teach it

If you want to become an educator, the first step is to figure out what you want to teach and how you want to teach it. This will require some self-awareness and understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.

Once you have a good understanding of this, you can start to look into the different platforms and formats that are available for teaching. These include online courses, speaking engagements, and written resources. Once you have a better understanding of the different options, you can start to decide which one is the best fit for you and your business.

The next step is to identify where you want to teach your course. This will require some research into the different options that are available. You can teach your course online, in person, or through a combination of both.

Each option has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to understand all of your options before making a decision. Once you’ve decided where you want to teach your course, the next step is to determine how you want to format it.
