In this episode, Chynell explores the pressure to grow that high-achieving TPT sellers experience as they navigate their business success.

Often, we celebrate the hustle, the grind, and endless growth, but what about when your business has "enough"? What do you do when you've hit your financial goals but feel burnt out, exhausted, and unable to enjoy the fruits of your labor? Chynell shares a compelling story of one of her clients who built a highly successful TPT business, pulling in over $30,000 per month, yet grappled with her current season of business.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• The concept of different "seasons" in your business: planting, growing, harvesting, and recognizing your "enough" season.
• The psychological and emotional struggles of recognizing when you are in a harvest season.
• How to set your "enough" threshold and the importance of giving yourself permission to step back, rest, and embrace a season where you enjoy what you've built.
• Real-world examples of how TPT sellers can adjust their mindsets and business strategies to avoid unnecessary burnout.
• Strategies for maintaining your business's success without constantly feeling the need to push for more.

Whether you're in a growth season on TeachersPayTeachers or realizing you're in your "enough" season, this episode offers insights into achieving balance and peace while still maintaining and nurturing a successful education business.

Key Takeaways:

• Success isn't just about continuous growth—it's also about knowing when to rest and nurture what you've already built.
• Establishing a financial "floor" helps in identifying when it’s okay to take your foot off the pedal.
• Rest and recovery are essential components of long-term success and creativity.
• Personalized strategies can allow high achievers to recognize and live comfortably in their "enough" season without the fear of losing momentum.

Thank you for being a part of the Routine Your Dream community. Here's to another five years of success and growth!

This is the first episode of what will be an ongoing series of the major superpowers that any teacher seller who wants to see serious growth in their TeacherspayTeachers business can use to do just that!

We go deep into the power of positioning yourself as an expert in your niche. And there's no time like the present to start honing your positioning strategy.

Listen in to see how!

Almost every teacher seller I work with has said at one time or another that they want to take their business to the next level, but confess that they don't know what that clearly looks like. 

In this episode we break down the common stages and phases that a typical teacher seller will go through, allowing you to finally know exactly what that "next level" could look like for you.

You've probably been there before. You set a goal, you're pumped and motivated for a week or two, and then suddenly you just...stop. Especially after attending an inspiring event like the TeachersPayTeachers conference!

Your motivation dries up and it's easy to find reasons not to work towards your goal. But what if there was a tool that could help increase your chances of actually achieving your goals? It's called WOOP, and it stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan.

This epsiode breaks down how it works! 

By taking the time to work through the WOOP process, you can increase your likelihood of success. So why not give it a try next time you set a goal for TeacherspayTeachers ? You might be surprised at how well it works!

We're at the halfway point of the year, which means it's time to start thinking about 2023. Knowing the growth strategies that will work in 2023 will help you start aligning your actions and plans so that you can take full advantage of these predictions, or get a head start! 

In this episode, we take a look at the old ways to grow on TeachersPayTeachers, and examine what needs to happen in order for them to continue being great growth strategies into 2023. 

We also take a look at new growth strategies that haven't been around as long, but can be used to accelerate your growth as a Teacher Seller- and in many cases way better than older strategies!

Are you the organized type? The kind of person that likes to plan everything in advance? If so, then you're probably already thinking about your plans for the new year. But have you considered doing a little pre-planning first? Pre-planning can help set the stage for an even more successful year, and it's a process that anyone can do.

I don't know about you, but I love the feeling of fresh starts and new beginnings, and there's nothing quite like planning out your goals for the year ahead so I know how tempting it is to go out and get a new planner and dive right into setting business goals.

I also know that for many entrepreneurs, December/January can also be a time of stress and overwhelm. Suddenly, we're faced with all of the things we should have been doing over the past year, and it can be tough to know where to start when planning for the new year. 

Before you start planning your New Year, try implementing this pre-planning routine to help make things a little less overwhelming and get you in the right mindset to approach serious business planning. 

In today's episode, we share the inside scoop on something that is so needed if you're just starting out with making Reels on Instagram.

Do you have a great product or service, but you're struggling to develop an email marketing strategy that will help your business grow?

The problem is that most edupreneurs start their email marketing efforts with no strategy at all. They just send out random sales emails whenever they feel like it. This means that their customers don't know what to expect from them, so they are less likely to open the next one. It also means that they are wasting money because these sales emails aren't getting any attention and therefore aren't converting into new customers or repeat purchases.

In this episode, Chynell is sharing her new thought process for developing an effective email marketing plan. She shares her ideas on how to create a consistent flow of valuable content your audience wants to read about every week, which in turn helps bring in more leads and eventually more revenue for your business!

Need more eyeballs on your TpT products?

The biggest problem teacher entrepreneurs have is getting their products seen. You can get so busy creating products, posting them on TeacherspayTeachers, and then forget to market them because you're on to the next product. 

Maybe that's because it's your comfort zone.

Maybe it's because you don't know how to effectively market your TpT products. 

Well my friend, what if I told you that by simply tweaking your marketing mindset to that of an educator (which you are!), you can make more sales and become a better "marketer"?

You don't need to learn tons of crazy secretive "marketing strategies" in order to be an effective marketer. Just change how you think about your audience and what they want from you.

Chynell will teach you how to think like a teacher, and through that mindset, you will start to market like a millionaire would. 

In this episode of the Routine Your Dream podcast, we talk about:

• Serving your audience and how it will help drive sales for your TpT product.
• Using marketing techniques that millionaires use to be successful in business
• Use and apply the "Think Like a Teacher Market Like a Millionaire" technique to increase sales for your TpT products via better and more strategic email marketing, social media marketing, content marketing (i.e. blog), and Facebook ads
• Improve the Know Like and Trust factor with your audience and customers so that they will become loyal and happy customers who buy more from you in the future
