Ninniachel Mentoring

This year, I have been working on starting my own business. It is called Ninniachel Mentoring, and you can read all about it here: Ninniachel Mentoring. My classes start this week.

This post isn't just trying to promote my business, though. It's about what I have learned so far while doing this.

First, while preparing five classes, I have learned a whole lot about how much work it takes for people who teach full time. Preparing just one class was exhausting, and took hours.

Second, I learned about picking and choosing  what I need. For my Beginning World History class, I had to choose what parts I really feel like need to be in the class, and had to cut out some. This was very difficult, and a little bit saddening, because I had to leave out some of my very favorite historical events/people.

Finally, I have learned that when you do something like this, you have to dedicate yourself to it, or it will fail. When I don't think about this constantly, I don't put in the work I need to to ensure that these classes and my business will be great, rather than mediocre.


I have learned more, but this is all I feel like writing about right now.
