Speaker 2:Welcome to Teacherpreneurs. Raise your Hand where bold teachers rise up and transform into successful teacherpreneurs who are destined for greatness. What exactly is a teacherpreneur, you might ask? Well, webster's Dictionary defines the term as um. Okay, it's not yet a word in the dictionary, but hear you me, it will be one day. In a nutshell, a teacherpreneur is both a teacher and a business person, and we're here to help you be better at both. So, without further ado, from One Tired Teacher and Trina Debery Teaching and Learning, here's your host, trina Debery.
Speaker 1:Hey, so today is a two-parter, it's like two parts. So it's one part talking to you about Digital Course Academy and if you decide to go through me, the doors are open. The doors are open and it's almost time's up. You have just a few more days and then the doors close for this year. I want Amy to explain it best. I want her to tell you a little bit about Digital Course Academy, if you haven't heard, and then I'll share with you the bonuses that you get if you decide to join with me. It's DCA Endeavor-y.
Speaker 3:I wanted to share that my signature program, digital Course Academy, is open for enrollment, but only until September 26th. I only offer this course once a year and while you go through the course, I'm live in a community for 11 weeks answering your questions and supporting you. So remember you only have until September 26th or you have to wait an entire year. So inside Digital Course Academy, I take you step by step by step through how to create, market and launch a digital course from scratch. So it's a self-paced program. You get to go at your own pace. I'll cover it all, from coming up with your idea to mapping out your lessons, to recording your trainings. I'll teach you how to pre-sell your course to get some upfront cash, how to create a webinar that feels really good with zero ick, and how to put together a proven sales page and high converting sales email series that are simplest to do but really, really sell. And I'm going to teach you how to automate your digital course so you don't have to live launch every year if you don't want to. It's the program that tens of thousands of digital course creators have trusted, including our lovely host of this podcast, to uncomplicate the process of pulling this off, even if you're a one man or one woman show, even if you've launched a digital course before where you've had less than thrilling results. Digital Course Academy closes enrollment on September 26th and it won't open again until next year. So if you want to learn every step of course creation and marketing with technology, how-tos and templates that will save you time and 15 years of digital course success backing you up, now's the time.
Speaker 3:All you need to do is go to the link in the show notes to grab your spot, and here's the deal.
Speaker 3:I want you to be the next Corinne or Raya or Belle or Kevin, or actually I just want you to be the next you with a lot of digital course success. And here's the thing I wanna brag about you the next time I do a podcast episode like this, I want to talk about everything you've done, the mindset hurdles you overcame to get started. I want to share your juicy revenue numbers, like everything. So, friend, I want to talk about your digital course success, and that means you've got to get started. So thank you so much for tuning in. I've loved being here and thanks for letting me nerd out about digital courses.

It's in the show notes, all right? Thanks again for tuning in. I'll see you soon.
Speaker 1:Bye for now. The link is TrinaDeboreyTeachingAndLearningcom. Forward slash DCA Debrey. Before I tell you about the bonuses that you get if you join through me, I do want you to know that I have inserted Amy into the last two podcasts, but I do have two episodes where she came and we talked and I interviewed her and it was. It was incredible.
Speaker 1:So if you want to hear those episodes it's episode 93, how to know if you are a good fit for a digital course, a conversation with Amy Porterfield, and that was so long ago it feels like forever and I was so nervous, so you're gonna hear a very nervous version of myself. And then later, in episode 120, which was the very next year, I got to do it again. They asked me to do it again, so I was really happy and it was the biggest mistakes most first-time course creators make and how to avoid them. And that was another conversation with Amy and that is like our true, authentic conversation. The last two episodes I have inserted her in with permission. With permission, we were given permission and so I wanted to bring her to you specially and I didn't get to interview her. They don't even do that anymore and I'm like, no, we used to have like this frenzy of trying to get specially and I didn't get to interview her. They don't even do that anymore and I'm like, no, we used to have like this frenzy of trying to get spots and I was so lucky that first year and I was so excited. And then that next year I her affiliate person that was our manager of our affiliate program reached out to me and I was just beside myself and I feel like I got it together. I was a lot more improved the next year and I think I could do an even better job now, but that time has come to an end.
Speaker 1:All right, let me tell you a little bit about the bonuses that you get if you join with me. So I have a landing page that you can check out. It's Trina Devery, teaching and learningcom, forward slash, dca Deberry, and I want to talk about like making a stronger impact while also increasing your income. So I meet with a small group of teacherpreneurs and I'm kind of just jumping to the bonus instead of like reading you my sales page. But I tell you a little bit about myself and who I am and which hopefully you know because you've been listening to the podcast and maybe you even had a chance to listen to From Pressure to Profit, which was a session that I did at the Teacher Seller Summit this year. Maybe you've heard me at the TPT conference, maybe not. That's okay too, but anyway. So I tell you a little bit about myself on that page, and then I introduced you to Amy, who, as most of you know, I am a huge, huge fan of Amy's and I will always be rooting her on from here forever. So that is how I feel and will continue to feel. And then I tell you a little bit about, like, why you want to, or why I love supporting teacherpreneurs, and I give you a little bit of information about how it feels so good for me to, like, support one another as we go through journeys together.
Speaker 1:I think that DCA can be life changing, and I say life changing because, yes, I did earn every single penny back, but it was more important. Of the life lessons that occurred to me thanks to DCA, one of them is that I found my voice. I started this podcast because of DCA. I met people who later became guests, who I ended up collaborating with, and that has been a huge success. And and it has been another income stream and it's been so. I've been so grateful for those people.
Speaker 1:I've learned about consistently showing up. I've learned about building community. I've learned about marketing. I've learned about over serving. Before you ask, I just it's just something that has been so unbelievable and I love to support other people as they finish that, that cross that finish line, and I love being a cheerleader for others.
Speaker 1:I really loved that part of teaching where I could support kids and encourage kids, but also teachers. I was a team leader for a long time, many decades, and I constantly was fighting for teachers and supporting teachers and I I missed that part. So this, this, really filled that void for me and I felt like I got to do something that was important and that was helping other people put their, their courses into the world. So I have really enjoyed every part of that and that is one of the biggest things that I offer with my bonuses and that is every week. I show up with a small group and I help you, I support you, I allow you to bounce questions off and we work together and we are encouraging. And, in fact, one person from last year wanted to come join me this year and I said absolutely, and I, and last year the same thing happened from the year before and some of those people have become lifelong friends and it's been an incredible journey.
Speaker 1:So I offer small group coaching. I show up at last year I did two hours a week because we had a larger group and we couldn't get our schedules to work. Hopefully it'll be an hour this year, but you know, if it has to be two, that's okay as well. And every week I show up and we go through this. For I have on my website 10 weeks, but I think DCA is 11 weeks this year, so I'm going to do it as long as DCA. So if it says 11 weeks, then I'm going to go with 11 weeks.
Speaker 1:I also offer, so I will. So I'll continue with that, with you for 11 weeks. And then I also offer my podcasting Academy for teachers and teacherpreneurs. That's a course that I created as my first course. There's some things that probably need to be updated and I'll tell you what those are, but it'll definitely teach you how to start a podcast. I also have a Teachpreneurs Do DCA cheat sheet. That's helpful and a little bit of list love building, list building love, I should say. And then we have a private Facebook group where we work together through that time. So those are my bonuses. I hope that you will consider joining with me. I would love to go on this journey with you. Part of the reason is because I this is it, this is it. I have done this for for a while now. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Speaker 1:It is, I will say it's a lot of work and you know, and sometimes affiliate partnerships look you partnerships, look like you're like. Are you a used car salesman? It feels like that sometimes and you feel like that. And sometimes you're working in a scarcity, fear-based mindset sometimes. Now, that's not how Amy functions. She's abundance all the way and so unbelievably generous and with her time and with her, with your commission, and recently become the father of a new baby. Oh well, I don't know why that went off. That was like a podcast I was listening to earlier. So, yeah, I don't know what happened anyway. Um, and so it's not.
Speaker 1:But sometimes you yourself get caught up in it and it's really hard to it's it's you have to like, really hold onto your integrity, especially if anyone questions it, because it feels like you know, this is my, my word, this is my, this is what I, you know, I'm not going to say something that's that I don't believe in. I'm not going to stand for something that I don't believe in. I um, that's the beauty of being a partner with Amy, because I know, as soon as I pass them off, my people off to her, that she's going to take such good care of them that I don't feel I don't have to worry. It's like it's like it's almost like when you're teaching and you know the teacher, the next grade level, or you know some of the teachers, and you're like I've got to get certain kids with those teachers because I know my kids are going to be okay, they're like your kids and I remember feeling that way. That's how I feel. I'm like these are my people, you have to take care of them, and so that is. You know, that's been a really nice part of it, but it's also it also is I easily get divided.
Speaker 1:My attention gets divided. I've been divided. I've been saying this for years. I've done this podcast in seasons, on purpose, so that I could, you know, meet with my group and not be podcasting at the same time and like stay focused, and I haven't done a great job staying focused, to be honest with you. You know I'm like trying to figure out what to do and how to recover and you know what direction I'm going to go in and I feel like I have a lot of learning and growing more to do and I have a new idea.
Speaker 1:I have a new idea that I want to jump into. I am going to be creating another course or possibly a workshop I haven't decided yet but I'm like hoping to really focus on the love of learning, and I don't even mean the love of learning, I mean the love of reading. I feel so passionate about kids loving to read and I feel like some of the things that we're doing in school systems are like making that the opposite, like the kids are hating it, and I really want to focus on kids loving it. So I'm excited to be focusing on that and kind of let everything else kind of go in the background. And yeah, and also I have a passion project that I've been doing with my daughter and that is a new podcast called Mind your Heart. It's Mind your Heart podcast. So if you look it up, there is another Mind your Heart, a very old podcast, but ours is Mind your Heart podcast and I'm doing it with my daughter, emily, and we are talking about mindset and mental health and moms and daughters and it's been really fun and we're going to continue to see how that goes. We're growing slowly but surely and I'm going to focus on that.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure if I will pick up my one teacher or if one tired teacher will become more like general for teachers and maybe teacherpreneurs and just in general. I haven't decided that yet, like I'm thinking about it, but. But I think this is the end of this podcast and that's a little sad to say and I've appreciated so much your support and your encouragement and your, you know, your consideration, and so I I thank you and I know when I, when I've got favorite podcasts and I don't mean to say that I'm someone's favorite, because I'm probably not but, um, but when I have a podcast that I like and it's just stops out of the blue, I'm like where is it? No one said goodbye and I feel like it's important to say goodbye and I'm not going to say goodbye forever Because, who knows, I could pick this up and who knows, who knows with me, you just don't know.
Speaker 1:The goal right near the idea right now, is to eliminate, like multiple things and kind of streamline what I'm doing and I, yeah, I'm going to try. I'm going to try some new things and see what happens and, you know, maybe I'll let you know someday. But if you see me out in the world, I hope that you'll say hello and um, I I'd love if you wanted to listen to mind your heart podcast. We do that every Monday. It's mind your heart Monday and yeah, so again, I appreciate you and if you need anything, you can always reach out as well. And if you want to join DCA and Debra, I hope that you will consider it. The doors are closing on the 26th, so you only have a few more days and then it won't be open until next year, and then I don't know what's happening because I will not be a part of it next year. I'm really going to stay committed to focusing on my business and growing my business. All right, I have appreciated every moment with you. Thank you so much and bye for now. No-transcript.
