6: Why Teachers Don’t Start Selling on TPT (And How to Finally Take the First Step)
Manage episode 480696375 series 3658922
If you’ve ever said, “I want to start a TPT store, but…” — this episode is for you.
Maybe you’ve told yourself:
“I don’t have time.”
“I’m not a business person.”
“I don’t know what to sell.”
“I’ll do it this summer… or when the kids are older…”
But here’s the truth: those aren’t the real reasons.
In this episode, I’m talking about the actual thing that’s holding so many teachers back from selling their resources online—and why understanding this one mindset shift can finally unlock the freedom you’ve been craving.
I’m also sharing my own story about struggling with money mindset, pricing my first $3 product, and how I had to completely rewrite what I believed about my own worth.
Plus, you’ll hear a story a college professor once told me that perfectly explains why something valuable—like a free coaching call—often gets overlooked. This leads into something I’m offering just for a few teachers who are truly ready to take action.
💡 In this episode:The real reason you haven’t started your teacher business (hint: it’s not time or strategy)
How fear hides behind logical excuses
Why your brain tells you “later” when your heart says “now”
The identity shift that happens when you go from teacher to seller
How selling a $3 product can transform your confidence
A story about value, perception, and a window AC unit you’ll never forget
