Owning your message is hard
You have a message, deep within you.
You know something — something that can give future generations a better chance at survival, peace, and prosperity.
Your message is unique, because it’s the result of your unique perspective and unique life experience. It’s valuable because it is you.
But of course, you may not be aware of what your message is… just yet.
Or, maybe you have an inkling but your mind gets in the way, logically cutting off any hopes for the message to get out — because work, or this commitment, or that lack of time, won’t let it happen. Which is understandable, because creativity is challenging.
Or, maybe the hurdle is your heart, which has been badly hurt and hasn’t recovered enough for you to move on with stride, no matter what the consequences, or accompanying doubt or fear. Which is also understandable, because grieving takes time.
(And really, the heart and mind work in concert.)
Society’s not making it any easier
Sadly, society makes it all too easy for your message to drown in all the noise — of the media, popular culture, politics, what the news deems important for you to know, and plain old consumerism. Beyond that, society makes it seem natural for you to quiet that message, because after all, everyone else is paying for a car they can’t afford or spending their only free time distracting themselves (with booze or entertainment) from taking the steps to living out their dreams.
It only appears natural to quiet your message, because everyone is doing it. Because that supposedly somehow makes it “okay.”
But it’s never is okay. And you know that.
You know because you have to pay the price.
You know that a nine-to-five that has nothing to do with your passions may put bread on the table, but will get in the way of you finding, hearing, and sharing your message.
The Internet is here to help
Did you know that your message will only get louder, stronger, and clearer after you’ve found it, after you’ve heard it, and after you’ve decided to own it?
And did you know that you’re living in pretty exciting times right now?
If you haven’t already noticed, human relations and communications are changing, via the web. Anyone can easily start their own website and establish themself as an authority on a particular subject by becoming a well-known and trusted voice. As I’ve barely touched on before, just the act of blogging can be good for your mental health.
Yep, society is changing. And because the economy of the corporate system is letting so many people down, people are taking matters into their own hands. They’re finding more ways to get their message out, to get together and do business their way. This economy is leading many to the path of self-employment, even if they don’t have the traditional “credentials” to succeed.
But even if you don’t want to be self-employed, you can still use the Internet to leverage your message. You can reach millions just by typing your thoughts for all to see — that’s powerful stuff.
How the Internet is helping me, with Teaching Sells
When I was close to graduating from college, I knew what my message was.
Ever since, it’s been growing louder, stronger, clearer. And it’s growing so fast that I can’t contain it just in my thoughts. That’s why I’ve extended it to this website, and other writing projects I’ve been working on.
And that’s why I decided that it was time to do something about my message, to reach the people who might want to hear it. So, I began writing a book that captured my message about emotions and health. But then the book met up to its limitations. It wasn’t direct enough. It was just another self-help book that would easily sit on a bookshelf and collect dust. I didn’t want that at all.
I needed something more than a collection of pages bound together. But how was I going to get there?
An undergraduate degree didn’t give me the credentials to counsel others in any professional capacity — as being a counselor or therapist was the closest profession to sharing my message. And who would listen to me unless I had some recognition in the world? I didn’t have either of those — but I still had my message. And what it wanted most of all was to be shared.
So luckily, by several synchronities that came into place, I discovered a powerful tool that ended up being exactly the vechicle I needed.
It was the Teaching Sells online course, which teaches you how to create an interactive online learning environment, based on the business model of education. It teaches you how to be a teacher, so that you can share your message with many people who are eager to learn from you.
Why I recommend Teaching Sells
Teaching Sells has given me the platform to transcend my self-help book model and create something far more dynamic, productive, and true to my message. The three main benefits I’ve experienced since joining in February, are:
-
1) Tremendous member and facilitator support, directly from the members-only discussion forum
2) Business training that is up-to-date with the latest tools and opportunities on the web
3) Essential training on how to teach well, focus on your learner, and deliver your message in the best way possible
When I signed up for Teaching Sells: I was granted access to a friendly and helpful community; I realized that in order to share my message for as long as I can, I’d need to make a business out of it, and I discovered teaching is an incredible way to share your message with those who really want to hear it.
Where I’m going from here
I’m still in the midst of content creation for my upcoming online training on how to work constructively with all of your emotions. I’m basically translating my book draft into lessons and expanding upon it, and so far the process has been very rewarding. My message is now much louder, stronger, clearer, and easier to understand — with much help from Teaching Sells.
I look forward to the next steps of building an interactive home base for the course and creating multimedia content using audio and video. I have a long way to go before my online course is ready for students. But that doesn’t intimidate me much anymore, because the Teaching Sells resources and community are a constant support system. The best part about it is that I’m a lifetime member, so the material is always there for me to access, and I can take my time with the sections I need to focus on.
So if the business model of teaching, and the relationship medium of the internet, sound like they might be a good fit for your message, you might be interested in clicking on the banner below to view the Teaching Sells video:
If you opt-in to receive more good stuff, you can unsubscribe from receiving updates at any time. Though I’d encourage you to stay on the list until registration closes, because Brian, Tony, and Sonia are going to give away some very useful, information-packed free content — that just may be the kick start you need to get going with your own message.
Whenever you decide to share your message with the world, may you find the right vehicle that works best for you.
