Have you ever thought about teaching anything? It is a fulfilling experience for the teacher that benefits the student and creates a bond between teacher ans student.
8 Reasons why to teach:
- Mental blueprints
- Improved thinking and communication
- Myelin
- Finding out the 80/20
- Creating an evergreen asset
- The Feynman method
- The fastest path to mastery
- Impact and transfer of knowledge
1. Mental Blueprints
By Teaching Online Courses you will develop systems you can use over and over again. They will allow you to transfer that knowledge to others and you will have a reference library for yourself as well to revisit as needed. Templates, blueprints, resources and so on…
2. Improved thinking and communication
Teaching Online Courses will help you understand a subject on a deeper level. Repeating it by teaching will fill the gaps in understanding and communicating it better to others.
3. Myelin
Myelin products through repetition. Artists and athletes are using it to perfect their performance. Brain is formed to perform this task as we do repetitions. It becomes a second nature to perform it automatically w/o too much thinking.
4. Finding out the 80/20
Separating the tasks that are working from those that are not as much. You sort out the tasks that have the greatest impact and result. You will recognize patterns where you will track those down. Focus on the most impact tasks which produce most results.
4. Creating an evergreen asset
Tony Robbins created his curriculum 40 years ago (that has impacted millions of lives) and that he teaches until today. Check out his latest course with Dan Graziosi and Russell Brunson on how to create your digital course and have an asset that can bring you revenue over and oven again. There are specific areas where you can create asset that will sell for years to come. For example technology (not all areas are same) may not be one of such area because of the rapid change and advancement of technology every single day. Teaching math on the other hand could be something that is evergreen because math does not change and so does not physics. These two science subjects are pretty constant and if there any changes, they are mostly new information added where the previous information pretty much stays the same.
6. The Feynman method
Feynman used to ask his students to do this to either teach or master the subject very well by filling the gaps in their knowledge.
Step 1: Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper.
Step 2: Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly pinpoint what you don’t quite know.
Step 3: Review what you have pinpointed you don’t know. Go back to the source material, re-read, and re-learn it. Repeat Step 2.
Step 4: If you are using overly wordy or confusing language (or simply paraphrasing the source material) try again so you filter the content. Simplify your language, and where possible use simple analogy.
7. The fastest path to mastery
Teaching is the fastest way to mastery and mastery is the way to success. You have to get really good at it by mastering it but it requires to stay longer with a subject until you are really good at it. Rewards are at the mastery and you will get what you want by mastering your subject and mastering it will be achieved the fastest way by teaching it. Teaching is repetition which myelinates your brain, improve thinking, develop blueprint by finding 80/20 etc. Here everything comes together. My vlog (video blog) is done with WordPress.

8. Impact and transfer of knowledge
We are teaching our staff, friends or children by transferring our knowledge to them. We don’t want our knowledge to get wasted when we are not there anymore, We will benefit others by transferring our knowledge to them. We may do this also by writing a book which stays after our life ends. Change the one-on-one model to one-to-many to have a greater impact with your teachings.
