A two-day intensive mentorship with Rick Dahlgren and his team. You will become a stronger presenter, build your business — and become a published author, guided from concept to a finished, print-ready book in 30 days.
This is the most powerful differentiator of this program — and one of the most career-changing things you can do as an educator and trainer. Every attendee works directly with Rick and his team to create their own professional book, guided from the first idea to a finished, print-ready book.
No writer's block. No blank pages. No guessing. We come with ideas, prompts, and a complete framework built around your expertise in education. You bring your knowledge — we help shape it into a book. Whether you have a clear topic already or haven't thought of one yet, we have you covered at every step.
Timeline applies when topic is selected at the event and milestones are met. Rick and the team guide every step.
You joined Time To Teach because you wanted to make a difference — and earn a great income doing it. But something is missing. Maybe it's not growing the way you know it could. Maybe you're not sure what the next step looks like. You did not join this team to simply create something good. You came to create something truly spectacular.
You're not landing as many school trainings as you want
Your presentations feel like they could be more powerful
You know there's more potential here but the roadmap isn't clear
You want to grow — but you're trying to figure it out alone
Become the kind of presenter who commands attention, fills the room with energy, and gets invited back. Deliver trainings that schools and conferences cannot stop talking about.
Build the systems, the strategies, and the credibility tools — including your own published book — that turn your expertise into a thriving, financially independent training business. Stop leaving money on the table.
Reconnect with the reason you started. Eliminate procrastination, set goals that actually stick, and leave with a clear plan — and a published book that represents your legacy in education.
Training educators locally, regionally, or nationally — in person or virtually — on your own schedule, at your own pace, growing your reach exactly as far as you want it to go.
Your training business growing consistently because you built the real blueprint for Massive Business Success — and you actually know how to execute it.
Achieving the kind of financial stability and lifestyle that lets you take care of your family and your future — on your own terms, not someone else's timeline.
Being known in education as a published author and a go-to expert — the person schools call, the name conferences recognize, the voice that genuinely matters in your field.
The blueprint for a truly spectacular training career and business awaits you. Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.
Rick Dahlgren is the founder and program developer of Time To Teach™ — one of the most respected educator training programs in the country. For more than three decades, Rick has trained thousands of educators and helped countless associates build thriving, profitable training businesses of their own.
He is joined by Dr. Aaron Dahlgren and their team — together bringing deep expertise in education, business development, publishing, marketing, and professional speaking to every session.
There is a meaningful difference between doing this with a generalist and doing it with someone who has spent 30+ years publishing books specifically in education — and whose books and the training programs built around them have generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Rick's books are not a side project. They are the foundation of a career. That depth of knowledge, those connections across classroom management, student motivation, literacy, and beyond — that is what you bring into your own book when you do this with Rick and his team.
"There is no secret to achieving Massive Business Success. People just like you live out their dreams every day. It's relentless, persistent, decisive, massive action — that's the only path. And now is the time."
— Rick Dahlgren, Founder, Time To Teach™This is not a conference. Not a webinar. It is an intimate, hands-on mentorship with Rick and his team — and you will leave with skills, a plan, and a published book on the way.
Command the room. Own your message. Fill your calendar.
"Great presenters use fewer words. They don't present from bullet points. They rehearse. We will teach you how to do all of this — and we will be right there with you as you practice it."
Real strategies. Real income. Real momentum.
"Every financially independent trainer takes relentless, persistent, decisive, massive action. You're about to learn exactly what that looks like — and build the plan to make it real."

Your own book, your name, your expertise — individually created with full support from Rick and the team. Print-on-demand setup included. Done in 30 days.
Small-group, hands-on mentorship with Rick Dahlgren and his team. Presentation skill-building, business strategy, and your personal roadmap — all in two powerful days with real coaching and real feedback.
One name is drawn. That person travels to a live school training with Rick — observing, learning, and spending personal time with him before and after. A mentorship experience you cannot get anywhere else.
Free admission to any Time To Teach train-the-trainer of your choice — forever. The $675 fee is completely waived. Return anytime to refresh, deepen your skills, or bring your business further.
You are not in a crowd. You work directly with Rick and his team across both full days — questions answered, feedback given in real time, strategy built specifically for you and your training business.
This is not a one-time event. This is the kickoff of a mentorship relationship with Rick and his team — people who will be your go-to resource as you grow your training business and your reputation in education.
From everyone who attends, one name is drawn. That person travels with Rick Dahlgren to a real school training — observing everything, from preparation through delivery, and spending personal time with Rick before and after the session.
This is about watching how it all works from the inside. Asking every question you've ever had. Getting the kind of perspective on your training career that only comes from being in the room with someone who has done this hundreds of times.
"What? Are you serious? This BLOWS my mind! I am beyond Blessed and excited! I don't even know what to do right now! I am so excited for this opportunity! I have the chills! CANNOT WAIT!!! Thank you… for believing in me and giving me an opportunity!"
Several past participants have gone on to write their own books, be interviewed on television as the recognized expert in their field, and create new products and revenue streams — all from what they built at this mentorship.
This is a rare opportunity. Rick does not run this mentorship often — and when he does, he keeps the group intentionally small so that every person receives real, personal attention. There are not many seats. When they are filled, registration closes — and it does fill. If this feels right to you, the time to secure your spot is now, not later.
Rick and his team are ready to work with a very select group of educators who are serious about what comes next.
Rosemont, Illinois was chosen with intention — because it is served by two major airports. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) is just minutes away and is one of the most connected airports in the world, with direct flights from virtually every city in the country. Chicago Midway (MDW) is also nearby and is the hub for Southwest and several other carriers. Between the two, almost every airline and nearly every traveler is covered — which means shorter flights, more direct routes, and often better fares no matter where you're coming from. The hotel is close to both, there's no need for a rental car, and everything is in one place. The goal is simple: focus on the training, not the logistics.
Located in Rosemont's vibrant entertainment district, The Rose Hotel is surrounded by restaurants, attractions, and evening activities in a clean, well-maintained, walkable area designed for visitors and business travelers alike. Whether you're heading to dinner, meeting friends, or enjoying the optional evening activities, everything is conveniently close by.
Not everyone who reads this page will act. And that is okay. But if you have read this far — if you felt something when you read about becoming a published author, about learning from Rick directly, about the drawing — then you already know the answer.
"Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone."
