Many people feel like success is out of reach, but in reality, there’s a clear path to achieving it. While everyone’s situation and timeline are unique, there are key patterns and elements that consistently lead to success.In episode 147 of the Get Richer, Teacher podcast, I break down these essential elements that will help you grow and succeed in your business.Here’s a sneak peek of what I cover:Passion and resilience: Choosing a profitable niche isn’t enough. It’s your passion that will keep you going when things get tough. Without it, burnout becomes a real risk before you even see results.Radical responsibility: As a business owner, it's your responsibility to lead and sell. The success of your business depends on how well you communicate your offer, not on the perfection of your Instagram feed.Avoiding the bottleneck: One of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face is becoming the bottleneck in their own business. To scale, you need to automate processes and step back from doing everything yourself. But be careful not to create passive products prematurely if you don’t have a large audience.Niching down: Trying to appeal to everyone can hold you back. Narrowing your focus and sharpening your message is key to scaling your business effectively.Tune in to the episode to dive deeper into building a business that’s on the path to success.Hey, I’m Ola!For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses.

What is your image of a salesperson? Perhaps you associate them with a pushy car salesman who uses manipulative techniques. Or maybe you picture someone who—even if they don't work as a salesperson—has a natural gift for persuasion and can always sway people to their side. We often imagine that selling is a skill you're born with. And while I do believe that a certain type of personality can make the transition to selling easier—like being extroverted, courageous, or energized by talking to people—the truth is, that's just a small part of the process. It's helpful, sure, but honestly, it's an insignificant piece of the puzzle when you truly understand what sales is all about.In Episode 141 of the Get richer, teacher podcast, I talk about three things you need to sell language courses without being manipulative.Listen to the episode to learn: How to make sure you won’t have to persuade people to buy your course. What to emphasize when talking about your offer to be more effective in selling. The mindset shift that will make all the difference in promoting your course!Want to grow your business with group language courses? Take my quiz to see if you’re reaHey, I’m Ola!For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses.
