📖 The Signature Outcome
From Concept → Content → Cover → Published Author. In 30 days.

Become a Published Author
— Guided from Concept to Print 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.

  • Your book. Your name. Your expertise. Every attendee creates their own individual book — fully personalized to their area of expertise in education.
  • Completely guided from start to finish. Topic selection, structure, chapter development, cover design — Rick and the team are with you at every stage, approving nothing without you.
  • Done in 30 days or less. Follow the process, share your ideas, and your completed book will be ready faster than you ever imagined.
  • Publishing made effortless. We handle the heavy lifting. Getting your book set up for print-on-demand with a reputable publisher takes just a few simple steps — we do it side by side with you, and it's easier than you think. No tech barrier. No confusion.
  • Being a published author helps you land more school trainings. Schools want to bring in recognized experts. A published book signals credibility before you say a single word — and it's one of the most powerful tools for getting hired.
  • Command higher fees immediately. Authors are treated as authorities. Walking into a school district with a book in hand changes the conversation — and the rate — every time.
  • Get found, invited, and paid at conferences. Published authors get invited to speak. Your book becomes your application, your introduction, and your credibility — all at once.
  • Create income streams that work while you sleep. Your book becomes the foundation for additional products, programs, and speaking opportunities you haven't even considered yet.
"Becoming a published author has become as necessary as having a website or a business card. The book we help you create during this program IS your business card — and it opens doors that nothing else can."

Let's Be Honest

Are you unsure of the pathway to Massive Business Success?

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

What This Mentorship Delivers

Three Things That Will Change Everything

01
Impact

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.

03
Inspiration

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.

The Vision

80% of success is mindset.
20% is mechanics. You need both.

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.

Your Mentor

The Wealthy Educator

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.

Why Rick? There are a lot of people offering to help you write a book.

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.

80%
of success is mindset The other 20% is mechanics — and you'll get both.

"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™
Two Intensive Days

In Addition to Becoming a Published Author,
Here Is What You Will Learn and Do

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.

Day One — July 14

Becoming the Best Presenter You Can Be

Command the room. Own your message. Fill your calendar.

  • How to craft a presentation that moves people to take action
  • Delivering high-impact messages with energy, story, and personality
  • Vocal delivery, body language, and eliminating verbal clutter
  • Build and practice a highly effective 45-minute breakout session — what to cover, how to structure it, and how to leave them wanting more
  • Creating "wow" moments your audience will not forget
  • How great presenters rehearse — and why preparation is everything
  • Embrace yourself as the brand — your story makes you the perfect presenter
  • Procrastination elimination and goal setting that actually creates results
  • Feedback and coaching from Rick and the team — specific, actionable, real
  • Applying for and standing out at conference speaking opportunities

"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."

Day Two — July 15

Building Your Training Business

Real strategies. Real income. Real momentum.

  • Marketing from the stage — how to turn every presentation into your next booking
  • How to get found by schools, build trusting relationships with decision-makers, and turn those relationships into booked, paying trainings
  • Email marketing that actually gets school trainings — what to say and when
  • Social media and your book — how to use both together to announce your expertise and grow your audience
  • Turning your book into the centerpiece of your income strategy
  • Finding, applying for, and impressing at education conferences
  • Building your personal brand as a known expert in your corner of education
  • Your 30-day book and business roadmap — leave with a real plan, not just notes
  • One-on-one time with Rick and the team — ask every question, map your next move
  • This is not a one-time event. It is the beginning of an ongoing mentorship relationship with people who want to see you succeed.

"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."

🌆

Optional Monday Evening — July 13: Arrive & Connect Fly in Monday and join us for a casual evening at Parkway Bank Park in Rosemont. Dinner, music, entertainment, and a chance to meet the group before training begins Tuesday morning. No agenda, no pressure — just connection.

A Note on Enrollment

Rick hasn't done this
since before the pandemic.

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.

Where We're Meeting

Designed to Be
Easy to Get To.

Getting Here Is Easy

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.

The Setting

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.

  • The Rose Hotel — Tapestry Collection by Hilton, 5200 Pearl St, Rosemont IL 60018
  • Training Dates: Tuesday–Wednesday, July 14–15, 2026
  • Arrive Monday, July 13 — Optional casual evening at Parkway Bank Park (dining, entertainment, connection before training begins)
  • Two airports: O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) — between them, nearly every carrier and route is covered
  • Hotel, training venue, and evening activity all in the same walkable area — no rental car needed for most attendees

The Question

Are You Ready for
What Comes Next?

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."
