  • Microschool & Homeschooling Business Startup Plan Part 6: Your Enrollment Plan
    Oct 8 2024

    Today’s episode is all about something absolutely essential if you want to see your microschool grow and get those seats filled, but here’s the thing… so many educators overlook it when they’re just starting out. What am I talking about?

    Your Marketing & Enrollment Plan. If you’re a teacher, then you probably got a degree in teaching, not marketing. But stick with me, because by the end of this episode, you're going to feel confident about getting your dream students enrolled and filling your program faster than you thought possible.

    Let me ask you something… how would it feel to have a full roster of excited learners ready to start their journey with you on day one? Imagine walking into your beautifully prepared classroom, meeting all your new families, and knowing that you built this—this community, this vision, this dream. Sounds pretty great, right?

    Well, here’s the secret: that’s not going to happen without a solid enrollment plan. Now, don't get me wrong—students can come to you without a plan in place, but it’ll be a lot harder, a lot slower, and you’ll miss out on tons of opportunities to connect with the right families.

    In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through why having an enrollment plan is an absolute game changer for your microschool or homeschooling business, and I’m going to break down the key pieces you’ll want to include in your plan to get families excited, onboarded, and fully enrolled—without the stress or guesswork.

    Are you ready, let’s get started.

  • Microschool & Homeschooling Business Startup Plan Part 5: Your Offer Plan
    Oct 1 2024

    Welcome to PART 5 of our Microschool & Homeschooling Business Startup Plan series. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be diving into the exact steps you need to take to start your very own dream teacher business.

    Let's get into one of the most important steps to launching your dream microschool: creating an Offer Plan.

    Now, I know ‘Offer Plan’ might sound a little business-y, and maybe even a bit overwhelming at first. But here’s the thing: having a solid Offer Plan from day one is like having a roadmap that leads families straight to your door. It’s the difference between hoping families will enroll and actually getting them excited to sign up for your program.

    Imagine this: you’ve put together an amazing curriculum, your classroom space is ready, and you’re so passionate about helping kids learn… but when you try to explain what makes your microschool special, or how it’ll help solve the challenges families are facing, things feel a little unclear.

    That’s where having no Offer Plan can leave you stuck. You’re offering something amazing, but without clarity, it’s like trying to navigate without a map. Families might love the idea of a microschool, but they’ll have questions, concerns, and hesitations if they don’t fully understand what you’re offering them.

    On the flip side, when you do have an Offer Plan, you’re able to clearly communicate the value your microschool brings, how it directly addresses the needs of families, and exactly why it’s worth their investment. Not only does this give families confidence, but it also helps you feel confident because you know exactly what you’re offering and why it matters.

    So today, we’re diving into the top 5 strategies you need to create a strong Offer Plan that will get families excited and ready to enroll.

    Are you ready, let’s get started.
