Welcome

Start Here

You're not alone out there on your journey of discovering how to  be a great principal. There are pitfalls and detours all along the way. If you're swamped with meetings, have an office full of students sent there to be disciplined, have a culture of punitive punishments, seem to have too many disgruntled and dissatisfied parents, have a resistant  staff and you're looking to make positive changes, then this is a perfect place to come hang out.  

The goal here, at The Principal Entrepreneur, is to consistently support educational leaders with shared leadership success strategies distilled into easily consumable bites. This is your place to get ideas to improve your practice and if you're interested, a place to promote your personal brand both within and outside education simply by joining me on my podcast.  

Ideally this will be a community where we can share practical strategies, tools, and educational materials that can support us all.  If you've built a course or offer training, if you've written a book or started consulting this is where we can share our stories of success.  Most importantly this is a place to deconstruct our failures so that we all can grow from them.  

It will be these real conversations that we have in audio, video and written form, that demonstrate our passion around education. It doesn't matter whether we're in an urban district in the east, a suburban district in the midwest or an affluent district on the west coast,  we're all dealing with the same things and searching for ways to be great.

Why Great Fantasy Football Commissioners Make Horrible Principals

It was 5:30 am and I was on the treadmill getting my workout in before school.  Sweat was dripping in my eyes as my bad knees complained about the pounding I was giving them.  Luckily I had on SportsCenter to distract me.  I was about halfway through my time when one of those Fantasy Football commercials came on urging the viewer to create a league.  It looked simple enough, and I knew a lot of my friends were participants.  I decided to check it out.
