This is a special edition of The CEO Teacher® Podcast that is needed so much in a time like this. This episode is for any teacher, teacherpreneur or anyone who is in your life that could have been affected by Covid-19. In this time of uncertainty and craziness, we are in this together. We have been given one of the most valuable things right now and that is time itself. But if your family has been impacted by this, this episode is for you. 

I interviewed a great friend of mine, Casey Graham, the owner of Gravy Solutions. We have partnered with Gravy Solutions over the past year and they help us with our customer retention in our course and memberships. 

Casey Graham is the co-founder and CEO of Gravy, the leading failed payment recovery and customer retention solution for companies with recurring revenue.

He recently kicked off Gravycast after previously inspiring a wide audience through The Seven Figure CEO podcast, the first and only podcast to interview leaders of companies over seven figures about breaking through business growth barriers. Prior to launching Gravy, Casey is known for founding the Rocket Company, an organization that helped church leaders scale their financial leadership and fundraising.

The company grew quickly from 2008 to 2015 and was on the INC 5,000 list three years in a row. In late 2015 a capital venture group approached Casey to acquire the Rocket Company, and in February, 2016 the company sold. Casey's passion for entrepreneurship and bold vision for leadership are the driving force behind his energetic and engaging presence, both on and off the stage.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What is happening for small business owners now during to the Covid-19 situation
  • The best ways you can benefits from this stimulus package
  • What to do to apply for money to help your business
  • Why everyone should take advantage of this stimulus package
  • What you can be doing during this time to show empathy to your customers

Instagram post 17881511680753810 a 🔑 key 🔑 to success that is HARD for teachers 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As teachers, there is something innate in us to help all the people. 🤗 We want to reach all of our students - and we differentiate instruction, environment, and how we motivate them so they all learn and grow. 🌱 So, when we start our businesses, we tend to do the same thing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Raise a ✋🏼in the comments if you've thought something like... "Hmm, well this resource was made for my 3rd graders but I bet a 5th grade teacher might need it to support her below-level students." "This set of data tracking sheets that I made for Kindergarten could be for any grade, really!" "My interactive notebook course would be helpful for anyone trying to incorporate interactive notebooks, not just middle school teachers." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Girllll, me too. Been there. Done that. Wrote the book on it. Can I say something you may not want to hear?! Successful entrepreneurs are POLARIZING. 🧲 They attract their ideal customers and repel the rest. You've gotta go ALL IN on your main thing, your north star. ⭐️ You really can't help everyone. 😱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can TRY to help everyone, and be mediocre. 😐 Or you can help ONE specific group of teachers really well, and be successful. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, whether you're deciding which grade levels your newest TpT resource is for, or you're creating your Instagram content, or you're planning out your teacher membership, keep that ideal customer in mind. That's when you'll win. 🎖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in my bio for more business secrets in A Teacher's Map 🗺 of Online Business Secrets!

Instagram post 17901004495537431 you are my why 😘Two of the BIGGEST blessings I have found as a CEO Teacher are: the freedom for my family and connecting and building relationships with so many rockstar teachers around the globe! 💕🌏 In those first few years of my business when I was a full-time teacher and teacherpreneur, I LOVED making YouTube videos and InstaStories and doing FB Lives, because I didn't have the same community in my school. Y'all brought me light, positivity, and love in a hard season of my life. ☀️🌈💗 And you still do every single day!Looking back, I see how much this quote from my podcast episode with @josephrobertshq rings true. ✨ I found my why - my family and online community - and then I found my way - teaching thousands of teachers how to build a legacy online and make a sustainable income while making an impact through a course, membership, or subscription box. I had NO CLUE that this was in store for my life back then, but I couldn't have asked for anything better! 😍What is your why? What do you want? What are you doing now that could turn into something way bigger than you ever imagined with some elbow grease and creativity?(P.S.

Instagram post 17866970726031350 a midweek reminder to... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...take time for the things that matter most. Control what you can control. 🧗‍♀️ Easier said than done, right?!?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes, this means that I drink my coffee in bed and read my devotional for a few extra minutes instead of working out right away so I can soak up time just BEING with my son (and I still get my workout in later in the day!). Sometimes, it means that I get rid of all the distractions at work so I can get stuff done and have the freedom to spend time with my family in the evenings. It used to look like me getting up early or staying up late and work on the weekends to build my business.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This looks different in every season. But, the overarching theme is INTENTION. Whatever you're doing, even if you don't love it in the moment, do it with intention. Make a game plan. Don't let your ego get in the way any more. 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I chat more about this in today's new podcast episode: Your Ego is Keeping You Down! Search The CEO Teacher Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, or get the direct link in my IG Stories! It's a good one, y'all. 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #instagramteachers #teachersfollowteachers #teachermama #teacherstuff #CEOteacher #morningroutine #teachermindset #Teacherselfcare #teacherpreneurtribe #teacherfuel #iteachwhatsyoursuperpower #edupreneurs #teachersidehustle
