About Olly Richards

“You’ll never be able to sell a personal brand business”

“You need an app”

“Why haven’t you taken investment?”

“Gotta 10X, bro!”

“If you’re not working 14 hours a day, you’re not serious.”

“You need to hire a rockstar CMO!”

…just a smattering of the advice I’ve cheerfully ignored over the last 10 years.

Why?

Because I’m not building the next Uber…

I’m building a business (storylearning.com) that works on my terms…

An education business that generates millions of dollars every year (with an eye-watering profit margin), that gives me near total time-freedom, reaching millions of people every month, and that I’m proud to call my own.

But here’s the thing…

99% of business advice is intended to answer one question -

“How can I make more money now?”

But here's the thing:

“More money now” can very quickly take you out of alignment with what you truly want, leaving you with a business you don’t want to wake up to every morning.

Business decisions taken in alignment with your true self lead to a stronger, more profitable, and more valuable business over time.

All you need to be able to answer is … what do you truly want?

I’ll tell you what I want:

But if you have a business like this, why would you ever sell?

StoryLearning.com is this business - a $10M education company that's living and breathing. 

I live in the glorious countryside of Hobbitshire (UK)... 

I live 10 minutes from the beach, and typically work 4-6 days a month. The rest of the time, I work on side-projects (like this), study for my private pilot license, and take a holiday every 6-8 weeks. 

I kinda like it 🙂

I’m a teacher at heart. 

That’s why I’m writing this newsletter. 

It’s taken me almost 10 years of ups and downs to get here.

So I’ve got a lot to say. 

If you run an online education business, this newsletter will help you scale past 7-figures, work less, and build a sellable asset (if you want to).
