Shownotes

In this episode I explore how the idea of “enough” shifts as your business and priorities evolve.

I share how tutors and education business owners can reassess their definition of success to align marketing, sales and growth with what truly matters.

This episode will help you build a balanced, sustainable and meaningful tutoring business.

Enjoy :-)

Transcripts

Sumantha:

The word enough is really interesting because. I find that my definition of enough changes as I change what once felt really ambitious, might now feel a bit smaller, and actually that's often a sign of growth. When I first started my business, enough meant replacing my previous teaching salary. A few years later, enough included more free time, more impact, and more creative freedom.

Sumantha:

It evolved because I did so. Instead of clinging onto a fixed version of success, I think that it can be scary to let it change because you feel like maybe, you know, you feel a bit lost 'cause you've been attached to that version, that definition of success for a long time. But what I would say is let it evolve.

Sumantha:

It's a good thing. Let it evolve with you and. Something I encourage all of my clients to do is to check in regularly. Does my current definition of enough still excite me or is it time to stretch it or to change it, or to shift focus? It's really normal for goals to grow and it's also normal for them to shrink if that's what serves you and your life and your priorities better. So the word enough. Your definition of enough doesn't need to be static. It should be a living, breathing, moving measure of alignment.
