How I went from doing every lesson myself to leading a team of 35

Your tutoring business can't scale until you stop being its best tutor. Let me ask you something that might sting a little... 👀 When was the last time your business ran smoothly without you fully in it? And I don't mean just for an hour. But a full day. Even a week. If your honest answer is "it doesn't"... you're not running a business yet. You're just working a job you're underpaid for. (sorry, but a bit of tough love here 💛) When I was building Lisa's Study Guides, I was the best tutor on the team. I knew every student. I handled every difficult parent conversation. I was the one people came to when something went wrong. And for a while, that felt like the point. I felt important... Until I realised I had become the bottleneck of my business. 💔 Because here's the thing I did not anticipate. And I see this same pattern with many tutors I work with. The moment you start thinking about stepping back... something uncomfortable comes up: "What if the business doesn't need me the way it used to?" "What am I actually contributing if I'm not the one doing the thing?" That feeling? It's very real. And also terrifying. I get that. 😥 But that mindset is what keeps so many talented tutoring business owners stuck. Because staying in day-to-day delivery mode isn't dedication. It's a bottleneck. And the only way to actually scale your business to the next level is to make the shift from head tutor to CEO. That means shifting from the person doing everything to the person who rises to a strategic level. Deciding what the business becomes, who it serves, how it grows, and where it goes next. And that's exactly the role you'd want to be. 💛 In this video, you'll learn 👇 🌟 The real difference between a busy tutor and a tutoring business CEO 🌟 What the manager trap is and why every growing tutoring business hits it 🌟 How to move your knowledge out of your head and into your business 🌟 How to build decision frameworks so your team stops needing you for everything 🌟 What stepping into the CEO role of your own business actually looks like in practice If you're not sure where you're at now with the shift from solo tutor to CEO, here's a free self-assessment that shows you the exact areas you need to work on right now to help you step into the CEO role. 👉 Take the free assessment here: https://bit.ly/tutoringCEO But if you're ready to actually build a business that genuinely runs without you, implement proven systems, SOPs, and frameworks that have helped 600+ tutors scale their self-running business, the Tutorboss Mastermind is a 12-month intensive program that helps you get there. 👉 Learn more about the Mastermind here: https://tutorboss.co/products/mastermind _______________________     👇 MORE of how I can help: #1 Sign up to my weekly newsletter designed for tutors + sharing my tutoring journey: https://bit.ly/lisatran-newsletter-si... #2 Looking for the highest level of customised support?

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.     Timestamp: 00:00 Introduction 01:55 What the manager trap looks like 04:44 What "real CEO" actually means 05:28 The 3 things you should put in your business 07:26 Free assessment: where do you actually sit? 07:50 Why word of mouth stops working 10:10 Your first three CEO moves 10:29 The document that frees up your time 11:37 Alex Hormozi's framework 12:35 Ask yourself this before you hire anyone 13:33 Why this shift feels so hard 15:52 Here's the bottomline 17:00 Work with me inside the Tutorboss Mastermind
