  • PS 112 Your First Idea Doesn’t Have to Be Your Final
    Aug 27 2025

    Launching something new does not need to be perfect. Business is an experiment, and the first version of your course, class, or programme is only the beginning.

    In this episode, I share why adapting as you go helps you grow, and why your audience values consistency and care more than perfection. If you are a tutor or education business owner, this will give you clear steps to strengthen your marketing and sales.

    Enjoy :-)

  • 172 This WILL Make Your Content Work Hard For You
    Aug 25 2025

    In this episode, I show you how to make your content work harder for your tutoring or education business. Creating more posts is not the answer. Instead, I explain how to plan strategically so your content builds trust, starts conversations, and positions you as the go-to in your niche.

    You will learn why understanding your audience is key to marketing, sales, and business growth. With the right approach, your content can attract clients and create lasting impact without burning you out.

    Enjoy :-)

  • PS 111 You’re Allowed to Slow Down Without Losing Momentum
    Aug 20 2025

    It is easy to feel pressure to keep moving in business. But momentum is not the same as speed.

    In this episode, I share why slowing down in your tutoring or education business can strengthen your marketing, sales, and long term growth. From posting less often to focusing on existing clients, steady progress often leads to better results.

    Enjoy :-)
