As a former teacher, you possess so many unique entrepreneurial skills and qualities. And while starting a business may be enticing to some people, it can also be a scary thought. A multitude of questions swirl around in your mind including...
- Can I actually start a business of my own?
- Will I be successful?
- How will I know what to do?
- Where will I get customers?
These are all valid questions, but ones that can ultimately, paralyze you to the point you stay frozen with fear. Unless they don't and you allow the grit and determination you have in your soul to move you toward your goal.
Today on the podcast, Lauren Denny from Simply Stained Shop is sharing her journey from teacher to successful entrepreneur. And as with most former teachers turned entrepreneurs, she didn't start out with a plan to leave the classroom.
But her story is unique in that she has not only created a successful business with her husband, she now employs her mom, dad, and others, has a podcast, and runs a ranch! Learn why she chose to leave the classroom, how determination and support pushed her farther than she thought possible, and what she has learned along the way.
