Lessons You’ve Already Taught Without Realizing It

You probably think you don’t have “enough” to teach.
But here’s the truth — you’ve already been teaching. You just haven’t packaged it yet.

It’s in that email you sent a friend breaking down exactly how you handled a problem.
It’s in that voice note where you rattled off the three things they should do next.
It’s in the story you’ve told so many times you could say it in your sleep.

The stuff you take for granted? That’s the gold.

Pay Attention to Your Repeat Lines
If you’ve said the same thing more than twice, it’s a lesson.
The tip you always give.
The resource you keep sending.
The way you explain something that finally makes it click for people.

Don’t overthink it. Write it down.

Your Stories Are Teaching Tools
People don’t just want the “how-to.” They want the “how you.”
That time you fell flat on your face and figured out how to get back up? That’s not just a story — it’s a lesson with heart.

And here’s the kicker: stories stick longer than bullet points. Use them.

You Have Frameworks (Even If You Don’t Call Them That)
Maybe you’ve never drawn it out or given it a fancy name, but you’ve got a way you do things.

  • The three steps you always start with

  • The checklist you run through without thinking

  • The mental filter you use to make decisions

That’s a framework. Slap a name on it and you’ve got a signature method.

Go Dig Through Your Old Stuff
Scroll back in your DMs, emails, or client notes. You’ll find:

  • Step-by-step advice you’ve already written

  • Quick tips you’ve fired off without thinking

  • One-liners you didn’t realize were genius

You’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from already done.
