First, uncover your passion (what you love doing); then, map that to a real skill and build knowledge (learn, on your own); thirdly, roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty (labor); and lastly, grow and charge more for your skills as you refine them (level-up). Julia has repeated these steps to build her seven-figure brands, and teach hundreds of students how to grow theirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCo-author Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang wrote the first chapter, and brings in a powerful perspective for both parents and students. After receiving her MA from Syracuse University and then her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, she began her teaching career as an Assistant Professor. A few years into her teaching career, Dr. Ai discovered that students were becoming more disengaged and less interested in learning. This led Dr. Ai to embark on a journey to transform today's education crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Dr. Ai is no longer teaching inside four walls, but on a much larger stage.
