If youโve got children you might remember that phase they went through where theyโd keep asking ๐โ๐ฆ? ๐โ๐ฆ? ๐โ๐ฆ? ๐โ๐ฆ? ๐โ๐ฆ? ๐โ๐ฆ? Or perhaps you remember being that child!
โ
โ
As humans our brains pretty much stay the same, but because our parents would get so annoyed at us for asking โ๐๐ป๐?โ
โ
โ
Weโve stopped expressing that curiosity in everything around us.
โ
โ
๐๐ป๐ is important when it comes to choosing the exercises / poses you plan on using in your lesson plans.
โ
โ
โ
๐๐ป๐ was important when youโre decided whether or not to do your teacher training.
โ
โ
โ
๐๐ป๐ is important when you decide thereโs something you want to achieve for example run a marathon or have a successful business.
โ
โ
One of the first things I ask people that want to do their teacher training is โ
๐๐ป๐do they want to become a teacher?
โ
โ
If their โโ๐๐ป๐ is not strong enough then I always suggest they wait a bit.
โ
I have found from experience that people that go on to do their teacher training when they weren’t sure in the first place, either end up not using their qualification or not being a very good teacher โ ๐ต๐ธ๐ถ๐ด๐๐๐ธ ๐๐ป๐ธ๐ ๐ธโ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ด๐๐๐ผ๐๐!

โ
And when I mean passion I mean your love for the subject, whether you choose to teach or not.
โ
โ
Think of instances in your own life.
Ever been on a course where you could tell someone just LOVED their subject and how their eyes lit up when they were teaching compared to someone who was just doing it because it was part of their job description.
โ
โ
Getting your qualification isnโt easy. It does take work and effort and doing some things that will make you feel really uncomfortable.
โ
โ
BUTโฆ.. when you think of ๐๐ป๐ you want to do it, itโs your ๐๐ป๐ to keep moving forward.
โ
โ
Same as running a marathon. If youโre training for a charity or itโs on your bucket list, youโre more likely to stick with the training and doing your miles because thereโs passion in your heart to keep going. Youโre doing it FOR something or someone else.

Yes our businesses are successful and bla blab la, BUT I have been in tears some nights, Iโve been up until all hours of the morning making a website and then losing it!

When I first started teaching, I was still part-time in the police and sometimes Iโd finish at 7am after a night shift and then teach at 09:30 and another class afterward.

I had a family relying on me.
โ
โ
Paul (my husband) lost his job too so we HAD to make this work or go find a JOB, and there was no way I was going to do that!

But one thing I can promise you is that when you have achieved your goal ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
โ
โ
If I knew then what I know now, I would probably still be in the Police, as it was absolutely crazy what we did! However, now that Iโm on this side of itโฆ.

โ
โ
So my question to you today is thisโฆ.
โ
โ
WHY did YOU want to become a teacher โ โ What is driving you (or not) to grow your business โโฆ. What motivates you (or not) โ
โ
โ
Iโd love for you to share your WHY with me โ whether thatโs in the comments or a private message.
โ
โ
I do love connecting with you all!
โ
โ
From my heart to yours!
