In this video, I’m giving you some tough love about bookings—because I keep hearing the same fears on repeat: “VIPKid overhired,” “there aren’t enough students,” and “it’s not my fault I’m not getting booked.” And I get it. It’s easier to believe those things than to look at the pieces we can actually control. But if you want consistent bookings, you have to stop letting those lies run the show and start focusing on what moves the needle. I walk you through the real reasons bookings stall and the mindset shift that helps you stay steady instead of spiraling. I’m big on keeping your blinders on—stop comparing, stop doom-scrolling teacher groups, and start treating your profile, schedule, and teaching choices like tools you can refine. I also remind you that growth can be a process, especially in the beginning, but you’re not powerless. The takeaway: when you focus on what you can improve (instead of what you can’t control), you show up with confidence—and that’s what builds momentum.
