If You Don’t Know, Ask. If You Know, Teach.
When I started teaching (IRL / online), I thought I needed to know "all" the answers before I could help others. Turns out, the opposite was true. What I love about being an educational creator is that I'm in a never-ending cycle of learning and teaching (and often at the same time.) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 When I was building the teaching program for my training center a few years ago, I had to hire trainers. 2 profiles stood out - Pro trainers - Pro who trained The frontier is thin, you'll tell me. And I'll agree. 100%. But oh how it's important. What I noticed at that time was that pros who trained where still facing challenges. Daily. They had to adapt to the evolution in their field, motivated people joining the workforce, customers requirement, you name it. Pro trainers? Well... I don't want to stigmatize here, 'coz I had some good ones too. But you all had some teachers re-using the same content over and over over the years, and you know what's even worse? Teachers / educators that don't accept not knowing or being wrong. Dude, I don't GAF where you come from, our relation, or how old you are. If I don't know something and you do, go ahead! Let's make it a win-win! Sure, when you teach, it's not easy or pleasant to admit you don't know something. But hey, why not make it an occasion to learn something and a common goal? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 Well, it's the same here. Early on, I ask my community a simple question: What’s your biggest struggle right now? Their answers are often raw and honest: creating content consistently,, feeling overwhelmed, struggling to make their first sale, you name it. And with that, these aren't just their problems—they become mine too. That’s when I realized something: my job isn't to have all the answers. It's to find them together. Asking isn’t about weakness; it’s about connection. When I ask my community for feedback or insights, three things happen: 1. They feel heard. 2. I get clarity on what actually matters. 3. We build solutions together.
