In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing five mindset shifts that every teacher business owner needs to make.

Because strategy matters, but mindset is what keeps you going when things get hard, slow, or uncertain.

These shifts can help you stop second-guessing and start building your business like an online biz owner, not just a content creator.

If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure if you’re doing it right this episode will help you reset and move forward with purpose.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Feeling behind is a mindset trap. You’re not late, you’re on your own path. Sustainable growth comes from consistency, not comparison.
2. You don’t need more time, you need more clarity. Choosing one next step and focusing on it creates momentum, even in just a few hours a week.
3. Marketing isn’t bragging, it’s helping. When you reframe it as service, you’ll feel more confident sharing your offer and attracting the right students for you.

In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing the process I recommend for finding a name that fits your online teaching business.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. The three questions to ask yourself before getting started

In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, we’re talking about one of the most overlooked (but crucial!) parts of launching your online course: warming up your audience.

You’ve done the hard work, created your lessons, recorded your videos, and poured your heart into your course.

But here’s what most online teachers don’t realize... until it’s too late: just because your course is ready doesn’t mean your audience is.

In fact, skipping the warm-up is one of the biggest reasons launches fall flat.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what “warming up your audience” means and the simple steps you can take to make sure your audience is ready to say yes when you open the doors to your course.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Why launching your course without a warm-up is like giving a final exam on day one.
2. Four practical (and beginner-friendly) ways to warm up your audience.
3. How to build trust and anticipation.

In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing the very first thing I tried to sell online, a small Italian workshop, and why it completely flopped.

No audience, no plan, no sign-ups. But that failure? It taught me everything.

I’ll walk you through what went wrong, and how I turned it around to enroll 140 students in my next launch, by focusing on strategy, connection, and timing (not hustle or hype).

If you're thinking about launching something online, this episode will help you avoid my biggest mistakes and start strong.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Why a great offer isn’t enough (and what else you need).
2. What I wish I’d done before launching.
3. How to bounce back from a failed launch (hint: you need a plan).

How can you actually get students when you're just starting out online?

In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing exactly how I booked my first 1:1 students, without a website, paid ads, or a big following.

Whether you're nervous about sounding too “salesy” or unsure where to start, this episode will show you how to find your first students by focusing on connection and value, not complicated marketing.

From simple Instagram posts to starting private lessons that helped me earn while learning, I’m walking you through the steps I took, and how you can do the same.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Give value first. Before anyone pays you, they need to trust you. Share tips, answer questions, and be helpful online.
2. Start with 1:1 lessons. It’s the easiest and most flexible way to begin, and it gives you clarity on what your future course or offers should look like.
3. Social media isn’t so much about selling. It’s about showing up as a teacher and inviting people to work with you in a genuine, human way.

Wondering if you can really build a profitable online business as a teacher?

In this kickoff episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing how I transitioned from the rigid world of academia to creating an online Italian language school that now serves thousands.

From launching my first course with zero marketing experience to redefining what teaching looks like for me, this is the story of how I took back control of my time, income, and impact, and how you can too.

🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Your teaching skills are enough. You don’t need to be a tech expert or marketing pro to start. Your experience as a teacher is your greatest asset in the online space.
2. Start before you’re ready. I launched my first course while feeling unsure and imperfect, and still enrolled over 140 students. Action breeds clarity.
3. There’s more than one way to teach. If the traditional path doesn’t fit your life anymore, you can design your own. Online teaching can give you the freedom to align your work with your values.
