👋 Hi! A few of you are new here so I thought I'd introduce myself ☺️

I'm Lisa (hehe). I'm in my early 30s, though I'm often told I look like I'm in my young 20s (and I never get sick of hearing this 😂).

I started tutoring English when I was 19, just after high school. Who knew that I'd still be in the tutoring business TWELVE+ years later? **mind blown**

Tutoring was SO incredibly rewarding and fulfilling that I moved into it full-time when I was 24. I fell in love with tutoring so much that I ended up quitting my career as a pharmacist after only 11 months on the job. Skip ahead to 3 months later, I was fully booked out and was already rejecting new students who had been referred to me.

I felt so bad for saying 'no' that I ended up hiring my first tutor. Within 6 months, my team had grown to 5 tutors, and within a couple of years, I had 50+ tutors on my team!

It's been a rollercoaster of a journey. I've been awarded Anthill 30under30, Victorian Younger Achievers Finalist, spoken at TEDx, and been blessed with so much more.

Not going to lie, business is HARD. That's why I want to share my learnings and experiences with you, because I wish I had a tutor mentor who could accelerate my path to success, rather than struggling through all the mistakes I made during my journey. Lisa's Study Guides, my tuition and study guide business has made 1 million+ over the last 2 years, and I've just started my second business, Tutorboss, helping tutoring business owners build and scale their businesses.

@15:35 the video you are referring to (two girls on shipping crates and a purple car) is most likely: [XG TAPE #3-B] Nothin' (JURIN, COCONA)

This video is gold for every minute. I'm currently now developing a sevice around the home school parent and teacher and theese 15 points are a great fit for that case.

i have a small business that I am teaching kids how to code, should I go ahead and create my own courses (which does require a lot of time and effort)or should I just subscribe to some of the online course providers? happy to hear your thoughts Lisa!

The best tip for me was when you said... If it is not a hell ya than its a no! :) Thanks for the tips. Have a beautiful day.

Hahaha my editor didn't do the best job with this video and we lost our files so weren't able to edit it and fix up the mistakes, BUT I wanted to get this video out for you all ASAP. So, let's just make this a bit of a game - who can find the most typos 🤣Comment below the mistakes you find 👇

Pssst. I LOVED filming this video for my Tutorbosses! Hiring is one of my favourite topics to talk about, so I hope this videos gives you valuable insight for your own hiring journey!

This is great content thanks Lisa! One question for your company do you develop those courses yourself or do you buy from somewhere ?
