#Core task 1 I'm going to pre-sale an offer in my newsletter. A sort of e-book option for 7€ that if they buy it during the pre-sale they get a sort of "office hours" opportunity where they can message me to ask questions and get feedback during those hours. My idea is that I'll create it when someone buys it. I'm not sure within a week will be the best time for this because of the holidays and stuff this month buuuuut I could offer it anyway just to try instead of waiting? 🤔 Which brings about the question: When do you wait because it doesn't seem a strategic business move to just do something with no preparation or pre-launch warming up of your potential buyers and when do you just try it anyway? 🤔

#Reflection What's in my mind at the moment regarding possible niches. *Young adults (or not so young), Spanish L1 speakers, task-based approach, communicative approach, considering strongly emergent language but also text driven to give a little bit of structure to the learning experience. *Beginners or Intermediate *Learners who: -want to boost their confidence. -have pronunciation challenges. -don't know yet what career to pursue and want to explore their likes / dislikes / preferences / interests / concerns / motivations.. -want to travel to other countries. -want to better understand other places, people and cultures.

#Overcoming Lack of a Niche The students that have been the most fulfilling to work with are ones that trust my teaching expertise, are interested in becoming stronger independent learners, and are willing and excited to experiment with new ways of learning.

#Reflection I think about creating my own course constantly although it's not something any students have ever asked for. They always ask for 1:1 classes so it's been on my mind but doesn't seem like something they want. They're assumptions I'm making. I can brainstorm a list of ideas today that could benefit the 1:1 clients I keep getting and see if any of those can be good course ideas. Did I think of 5 ideas before the day was over? Let's see! 💡💡💡💡💡

#Reflection: Ideal Future Self It's funny because whenever I do exercises like this I notice that I'm living where I want to live. I'm traveling where I want to travel. I'm having fun in English lessons with students. ... The thing that is missing is the making passive income while watching movies on the couch with my husband or taking a month off in summer and still supporting students without feeling like I need to be tied to my computer or a neverending supply of new students coming in.
