#395: From Passion to Profit and Lessons in Resilience with Olly Richards of StoryLearning
Have you ever wondered what it truly takes to build a thriving business in today's competitive landscape? If you are seeking insights into navigating the complex world of entrepreneurship, then join us in a candid conversation with Olly Richards, founder of StoryLearning.com, to uncover the truths, challenges, and triumphs of his entrepreneurial journey. ⚉ Transforming an idea into a revenue-generating powerhouse ⚉ Navigating "10 million challenges" ⚉ What is the significance of education and experimentation? ⚉ Recognizing signs of progress and knowing when to pivot ⚉ Advice for beginners ⚉ Branding, positioning, and attracting ideal customers ⚉ Defining Success on Your Own Terms Lessons Learned and Future Aspirations ⚉ Fast talk Olly Richards had a series of random careers, from jazz musician to English teacher, before eventually starting a blog on his passion – language learning – and growing it into a $10 million business. Today, he writes a newsletter teaching other online entrepreneurs how to scale their businesses to 7+ figures, using StoryLearning as a “living case study”. As he was scaling StoryLearning, Olly constantly struggled to find other successful entrepreneurs who taught freely how they were growing their businesses. In the end, he had to figure it all out for himself, and committed to, one day, providing mentorship to others looking to navigate the perils of scaling. When StoryLearning turned 10, Olly launched his newsletter, teaching strategy and mindset to scale education companies to 7+ figures. Olly, from the UK, started his career as a jazz musician in the UK, playing professionally for seven years. He decided that career wasn’t for him, and instead trained as an English teacher. At 28, he took a teaching job in Japan and started a new career, later moving to Qatar and Egypt. Throughout all this time, Olly’s passion was learning foreign languages, and he taught himself eight languages. While living in the Middle East, he decided to channel this passion into creative output, and started a Wordpress blog teaching others techniques for learning foreign languages. Over the next 10 years, Olly grew his business from fledgling blog to multi-million dollar business, publishing dozens of books and becoming one of the most renowned language companies on the internet. Today, Olly is involved in multiple successful education companies as an investor, mentor and advisor, but his passion is still teaching and working with others. His newsletter focuses specifically on helping 6-figure business owners make the leap to 7+ figures and beyond.
