I’m an informal mess but that’s what makes me awesome
Dear prospective client,
Is authenticity really that hard to relate to? Do we really need to hide behind all these cheesy voices and demeanors that we use to attract customers or please our bosses? Do we really need to pretend we are perfect to gain each other’s trust? Do we really need to project an image of anything other than what we are?
Well the answer is basically “yeah” for a lot of people and that’s cause it’s all they know. If nobody can tell the difference between the real deal and a fake, then all we can do is care about our image, rather than what we really have to offer, because that’s the language people speak.
Well, sorry, I’m not playing that game.
I’m the real deal. I may not be the best, and I make mistakes, but I’m the real fucking deal, so if you want me to use my sales voice you can find someone else. If you want me to create a process that is meant to impress you, I’m sorry, I won’t. The process I follow is inspiration in the moment. My download speed varies depending on how awesome I am that day, but I get the job done.
I could try to put on a show. I could fake a smile for you. Would you like that? No you wouldn’t. Not if you knew. So I’m supposed to pretend and do all the things a professional is supposed to do to put your mind at ease? NOPE. Not doing it.
I can make little compromises here and there, but what you get is what I really have to offer. If it’s shit, it’s shit. But when it’s gold, you can bet it’s the real thing. None of that copy paste BS, nothing speculative, nothing made to pull you in so I can get mine...just something real.
I’ll teach you to teach yourself. I’ll teach you to heal yourself. I’ll teach you to be yourself. I’ll teach you to not need me.
I have enough confidence in the shit I say that I don’t need to make you dependent. You don’t need me. You don’t need anyone. And my only job is to help you figure that out. If that’s not your thing, I don’t know what to say other than good luck.
I am imperfect as fuck, but I have a shitload to offer. Take it or leave it. I trust that there are those who can appreciate a free flowing channel of inspiration who doesn’t follow a formula.
So prospective client...wherever you are, I’ve been waiting for you.
Call me 😉

I always found that “unprofessional” was simply a catch-all for “you don’t fit the image of what I expect you to be.” Well, sorry. I’m me, not everyone else’s expectations of what I should be. But, unfortunately, as you say most don’t have the capacity to recognize the difference between what’s real and what’s a projected image, particularly bosses (who are successfully entrained), so I play the game just enough to pass, knowing that it’s nothing more than a game.

That’s a brilliantly accurate definition of professional, or maybe “predictable”. I guess predictable is fine if you are ok with totally mediocre.
Play well!

Lolll... I have been teaching since December, 2018 until the moment that l left for service last year and l can clearly say that l'm one of those teachers that adopts an Unconventional approach to teaching. Students were always expecting me to come and write long notes for them on the board so that they can copy and dump in the bag without reading it or understanding what they copied.
I wouldn't blame them because that was how teachers did the program for them but l wasn't that type. I made them to see a different learning approach and l can say that most of them will always look back to that moment and be happy for my method.
Well, some will always put on an act and become lip service pioneers all in the name of being seen as professionals. It's probably due to how much they want to survive in the industry but l'm not that person. I only give what l have without a clause to improve on my skills
Heheh... Well Done Bro ✅
Haha you have a good eye. I was just frustrated because of how hard it is to convince people of anything with actual honesty...and it’s cause they are lied to by advertisements every day, authenticity is so foreign that they don’t even know how to recognize it. I had a session with someone who seemed happy enough with me last week but when she found out I charged for 5 sessions at a time (fewer than most schools or coaches) age changed her mind (even though she was thoroughly happy with a free trial. If I charge every session separately, that’s 45 extra receipts I have to report for taxes lol. Give me a break!
I’m sure your a great teacher and I’m sure people will appreciate you for it.
I’m always unconventional and my students love it. I just have a problem where no one ever seems to come to you for what they really want. Everyone who says they want to learn English actually wants a life coach or a psychologist. And everyone who comes to me for a life coach just wants a boyfriend.
Now that looks like a kickass ad XD
I knew YOU would like it. And now I’m left feeling how I always feel...why can’t “normal” be more like Fyn, society would be much more fun
If by "fun" you mean demented then yes? XD
YES!!!!
Sounds like the perfect teacher to me, also because it feels very much like me haha
In all honesty, I can't stand professionalism or fake it till you make it attitude. It's so unnatural.
I hope plenty of people will hire you or, if not, you will get rich by other means ( I think the latter can be arranged )
