Is This Truely Obsession?!

What this episode covers

Do you wake up with a smile on your face and count the hours until your Vortex opens? Do you, like host Neil, also have a love affair with your job? In today’s episode, Neil describes his love for tutoring, why spending your days doing what you love fills you with drive and energy and why getting paid is just a by-product of what your job really means to you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Christmas is approaching and many tutors are back giving in-person covid safe tutoring to their students. In-person tutoring often offers the experience of helping people to a much higher degree than you can over video. Many students are eager to play catch-up, get out of the house and do more of what they love making the most of their time off work and will continue to attend their tutoring lessons over Christmas. Tutors often love teaching and love helping people. As a tutor, you are valued and extremely useful to your students. You are able to encourage them to become better versions of themselves. Spending your days doing what you love may sound exhausting to others but the truth is that it most likely gives you energy and drive. Having a job which is also your passion is incredibly rewarding. How lucky are you to get paid for doing what you love to do most in the world by sharing your passion and fascination with your students. Getting paid is just a by-product of doing your job. When you love your work, you “do it to do it”, and the truth is that you’d probably do it for free, just to keep doing what you love. BEST MOMENTS   “How lucky you and I are to get paid for doing what we love to do most in the world” “I’d say it’s about being drawn toward teaching, rather than driven by anything. It’s a pull, rather than a push.” “Do you lose track of time – hours flash by in minutes and you lose the need to eat or drink?”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Listen to The Tutor Podcast on the Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tutor-podcast/id1369191372)!
