3:46

I will be waiting for you on the other side.

3:50

Like you, I have been on a journey For the past four years, a journey that I

3:56

had been planning and dreaming for many years.

3:59

And when it finally hit the ground, when we started our micro school,

4:03

which I didn't even know was a micro school, was just sweet little kiddos in

4:08

my house during the pandemic. I didn't even know if I was going to do it the next year. I didn't know if I

4:13

was capable, if people even wanted me to continue. you.

4:18

I would have never, ever, ever thought that that little dream of having, when I say little,

4:25

I meant I thought I was just going to build a little school in my backyard,

4:29

have a handful of kids, and live my comfortable, sweet life that way.

4:36

I never honestly thought that we would be sitting in a beautiful church with

4:43

over 50 students, a wait list, nine staff members.

4:49

And more financial and time freedom than what I really ever even envisioned

4:55

or thought that was possible, to be honest with you.

4:58

See, going from that small, wonderful, cute little school in my backyard would

5:05

have kept me in the business every single day from the moment it started to

5:12

the moment that it ended. And that was the vision that I wanted. I so badly desired that so I could be with my children.

5:21

And then as Lighthouse Learning, our micro school, launched,

5:25

I began to see that, oh my goodness, if I start hiring more people,

5:30

I can actually start more hobbies. I can help my husband.

5:35

I can start traveling with my daughters. They wanted to play travel ball,

5:40

but I I really never knew that our time could be opened up to that opportunity.

5:46

And to be quite honest with you, I truly never realized, because my mindset

5:53

was not there yet, how much of an income we could make.

5:59

Not only just starting and even leaving teaching for the first time and starting

6:03

that school in my backyard. That in itself gave so much time freedom and financial freedom.

6:10

But then as the years have gone on, it's truly been a wild dream. A wild dream.

6:18

I'm not, I like Taylor Swift. I'm not, I wouldn't call myself a Swifty,

6:22

but I'm telling you the wildest dreams song.

6:25

That wildest dreams part right there. That's where we're at, friends.

6:30

That is where you can be in your life, in your family, in your time.

6:37

So many people have come to me through coaching, through our Facebook group,

6:43

a thousand people stepping out, stepping out to do something so different,

6:49

so courageous, so bold. Let me tell you something. This is courageous.

6:53

This is bold. This is awesome.

6:57

And you are a part of being in a movement that is not going away.

7:04

But I also know that there have been moments of trials.

7:10

There have been moments of frustration. There have been moments of fumbling.

7:15

There have been moments of feeling alone, feeling scared, feeling as if you

7:22

really do not know what your future will will look like.

7:25

And for the first year of starting our school, I've said this many times on

7:30

the podcast, I can look back at that time and see myself on my hands and knees

7:34

praying, God, what am I doing?

7:38

What have I gotten myself into? I love it, but is this really what you wanted me to do?

7:45

Am I going to make it? Is this going to be lasting?

7:49

I didn't have a group. I didn't have anybody around me that was doing what I was doing.

7:54

I felt so alone, literally stranded

7:57

on an island, which is why I started Teacher Let Your Light Shine.

8:01

Like, no, no, no, no, no. We need professional development. We need friendship.

8:06

We need people to help us walk through. When you are dissatisfied where you are at in your teaching career,

8:13

but you so desire to continue to create something for your own children or for

8:18

yourself, self. We cannot do this alone. And I know many people, I see it all the time. I'm from Iowa. I'm from Ohio.

8:26

I'm from Wyoming. I'm from New York. Help me.

8:29

How do I get this going? How do I start? Or so many people saying,

8:34

how do I actually grow this? How do I retain our students?

8:38

How do I create systems to be able to manage my time?

8:44

I became an entrepreneur so that I could have job, blankety, blankety, blank.

8:49

But I'm feeling strapped. I don't know what to do. I don't know what next turn to make.

8:54

I don't know who to hire. I don't know if it's in the budget.

8:57

I don't know how much I should be making. I don't know how much I should be budgeting. How should I be doing my taxes?

9:03

How do I pick my curriculum? How do I even get my vision out?

9:07

I'm feeling fuzzy right now. And for the past couple of years, I've been listening just like I was for many

9:15

years with With a journal, with a pen, with my thoughts, with prayer and petition,

9:23

I said, God, please, what can we do?

9:28

To keep us going? What can we do to help people get themselves positioned to

9:36

even do what they are dreaming of doing?

9:39

You know, I've said many times before, yes, Lighthouse Learning is my calling. It is my purpose.

9:46

But there is something even more pressing on me lately, and that has been our

9:52

community, the Teacher Let Your Light Shine community.

9:55

I absolutely know God has called me to help pave the way, to help you go through

10:02

this journey and not do it alone.

10:06

I was recently coaching someone and I said, I'm going to be honest with you.

10:10

I have not been a part of the buzz. I haven't been a part of this group and this group and this group,

10:16

and I haven't been a part of of it. I have put my head down.

10:19

I have focused on growing our school.

10:22

We've grown 733%. We've grown 180% within the past year. We have a waitlist.

10:31

And I have been dedicated to making what we've started great, better.

10:40

I've not been been distracted by shiny objects and this offer and this club

10:46

and this group and this way of doing it.

10:49

I haven't. I haven't latched on to this is how, quote unquote, it should be.

10:56

I haven't been trying to adopt all different ideologies.

11:01

Now, have I wanted support? Have I collaborated? Absolutely.

11:07

But I haven't been tossed to and fro. And let me tell you, that is hard in itself.

11:14

When you're going, okay, God, what do you want me to do? And you have to sit

11:17

and you have to be patient. It is not easy because we always want instant gratification.

11:23

We want the problem solved now. And I totally understand the people that need support.

11:31

They need help. But I'm here to tell you that you do not have to do it one particular way.

11:36

That there are so many of you that have such incredible God-given ideas,

11:43

and you're trying to fit your ideas in a box.

11:47

You're trying to come up with a way that everybody else is doing it, and then guess what?

11:52

You start feeling like you're comparing yourself.

11:56

You're judging yourself. And I'm here to say, hey, let your light shine.

12:01

Go for it, baby. Let's do it, girl. I love that that idea. Yes, go for it.

12:06

Okay. Yes. Here are the systems that you need to help you. Here are the processes

12:10

to help you streamline. Here is what I have learned.

12:14

Here's what has worked. In addition to spending countless hours every week,

12:19

coaching people, documenting what's working for them, what's not working for them.

12:25

How can we help? How can we tweak things?

12:28

I have spent numerous numerous amount of time on books, on coaching,

12:35

on having someone professionally coach me through my finances,

12:39

professionally coach me through setting up our business properly.

12:42

For the longest time, I was listening to a podcast, but I thought,

12:45

I've got to stop overconsuming because it's too much. But yet we have to grow.

12:51

We have to network. We have to come in community and we have to be professionally developed.

12:58

But there's no place out there that I've seen on the market that you can be

13:05

professionally developed, still have your own ideas, and not pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to

13:13

get the information that you need. And glory to God, here we are today.

13:19

This is for you. you. This has been like the moment of setting and creating

13:27

and drafting up our school of Lighthouse Learning.

13:29

That's exactly what's happened right now.

13:32

And I present to you what you have been asking for, but you didn't even know

13:38

that it would look like this. Isn't that how that works with our prayers?

13:43

How you're praying for something, but God gives you the answer and it's not,

13:47

you really didn't even know that that's what it was.

13:50

But here we are with Microschool Masterminds.

13:55

Mastermind is you, the mastermind behind what you are creating,

14:01

what you are putting into this world. And even if you are starting your homeschool hybrid, Microschool encompasses it all.

14:08

We're not here to say you're a part of it, you're not a part of it. No, it's anybody.

14:13

Anybody who has started their program or is about to start for the beginner,

14:19

for the person who's already started their micro school or their program,

14:23

their hybrid program, or for the person who has already begun and they're in

14:29

maybe year three, year four, and they need community.

14:32

They need fresh perspective. They need new systems. They need new processes. They need help financially.

14:39

They need help with time, their finances, their growth, their marketing.

14:44

That's what Microschool Masterminds is for.

14:48

After so many years of going, God, how do you want this to be?

14:53

And knowing I love coaching.

14:56

I love my time every week being with you all. It's helped us to be where we are today.

15:01

The ideas, what the problems are, how to solve them.

15:06

But we need a place for professional development where people can come in community

15:12

and not just learn from me every month, but learn from each other.

15:18

So in Microschool Masterminds, we are launching April 1st and April 1st,

15:24

between April 1st and April 30th, when you get into the doors,

15:28

15:38

15:44

you are going to get tools and

15:48

resources to help you no matter what stage

16:24

They're not going, oh, I think I'm going to, no, they're like,

16:28

I'm doing this and I need help and I need support and I want it.

16:32

I'm not going to do this alone anymore. I'm not going to keep pulling on my hair.

16:37

I'm done spending every night tossing and turning going, should I? What should I do?

16:42

How should I do it? I want to be with people who are committed to the process.

16:48

And once you get in, you're going to see video tutorials.

16:52

You're going to see handouts. You're going to see documents to at least get

16:56

17:12

Workbooks, another video, live coaching.

17:16

Every single month, we're going to spend 90 minutes together, an hour and a half.

17:21

I'm going to coach you through the areas of foundations, of funnels,

17:27

getting people to come into your network, into your school, into your your vision

17:32

and floodgates. We're going to open up the floodgates, baby.

17:35

We're talking about funding. We're talking about growth systems.

17:38

We're talking about hiring. We're talking about leveraging what you already have.

17:44

Foundations, funnels, floodgates. That's what we are doing when we are focusing

17:50

on your time, your money, and your marketing.

17:54

And every single week, every Thursday, there's gonna be a nice little treat

17:59

that's delivered to you through your inbox, through our online community.

18:03

This is outside of Facebook. book. This is a new little platform that you're

18:08

going to have with an app that you go in, you click the app,

18:11

boom, there's my community, boom, there's my video.

18:14

No more having to fussle, fussle, is that a word?

18:18

No more having to fumble through Facebook and trying to find what you need and where was that at?

18:24

There's a little classroom and you click on that classroom online and there's

18:29

going to be videos and, oh, Mackenzie made a video about hiring.

18:32

Mackenzie made a video about about bookkeeping. Mackenzie made a video about financing.

18:36

Oh, this month, we're going to learn about how to hire. We're going to learn about how to market.

18:42

Here's the email sequences. Here's the messaging. Here is the template.

18:47

Here is how we can choose how we're going to spend our time with curriculum,

18:53

how we're going to spend our time with professional development,

18:56

how we're going to spend our time with marketing outside in our community.

19:00

Here's how we're going to organize our time, our finances.

19:06

The moment you get in, I'm going to give you, you already have access to videos

19:11

that are going to keep you founded. And then each week, you will receive a new piece of material,

19:19

whether it it be a workbook, whether it be a document or a spreadsheet or a template.

19:26

You're going to receive live coaching once a month where we all come together.

19:30

I'm going to teach for an hour. Then we're going to have Q&A.

19:34

One week, we may have live coaching where I'm Zooming with people and they're

19:39

asking me questions and I'm giving that to you. Everything is recorded.

19:42

Everything is uploaded. We're creating this big, massive library so that no matter what stage you're

19:49

in, you're able to go and pull from the video library, from the template library.

19:56

And here's the deal. You don't have to do it my way.

19:59

You don't have to say, oh, I've got to do it the way that Mackenzie's done it.

20:03

I've got to set up my program like McKinsey has. No, this is all customizable.

20:08

I'm just a mom and a teacher, a parent just like you who has worked through

20:14

the kinks, still working through it, still learning and growing with you.

20:19

I'm not outside of the school building process. No, I'm right there with you.

20:24

And I'm done doing it alone. And I can't share everything that I've learned and everything that we're doing

20:32

on one-on-one coaching anymore.

20:34

It's too much. There's too much to share with you. And that's why we've designed

20:40

it to be the way that it is. So as you've poured your heart and soul into building your micro school or your

20:46

homeschool hybrid, I know that there are times where you struggle.

20:50

It could be with time management, financial planning, marketing strategies,

20:55

maybe feeling overwhelmed, isolated, underpaid, no more. No, no, no.

21:01

That's where Microschool Masterminds is going to help you.

21:04

21:10

your time, your money, your marketing, but designed to transform you, your mindset.

21:16

So whether you're just starting out, looking to grow or to organize,

21:20

eyes, this is a place for you to come and pull whatever it is.

21:26

Maybe it's just the encouragement, maybe it's a refresher, or maybe it is tactical tools and processes.

21:32
