Being alone can be difficult. Being alone can be depressing. Being alone can be unproductive. Being alone can be lonely. What does this have to do with learning a language? Everything. Bear with me.
I decided last year to devote more of my time to expanding my own online course that I have had since I moved to Brazil. The first thing I did was reach out to a colleague that I met that year at an ELT meeting. Thankfully, Stephen jumped onboard and brought with him two others. I brought with me one of my friends that had also worked with me in the past and a colleague from the course I worked for, and later added more. What happened next for me was amazing. I began planning more, producing more, blogging, sharing and developing the business name as well as my name as an ELT professional. As the business, and I grew, I realized that for years, I had been spinning my wheels working as an individual.
