You keep pushing off your dream of starting a business

  • You keep doom scrolling looking for how to start a business
  • You get so overwhelmed by all the confusing and conflicting advice you freeze
  • You aren’t sure which situations apply to you
  • You think there are too many technical steps to manage
  • You aren’t sure your ideas will bring you enough money to make it work
  • All of your training was as a teacher, so you don’t think you have the knowledge or experience to run a business

The result? You are spinning your wheels without making progress towards the business of your dreams.

Having left teaching for business ownership, I know that the hard work of teaching prepares you for the challenges of starting and running a business. With the right guidance and willingness to learn, you can make any business dream a reality

I know you want the freedom of a business that supports the life you dream of.

The problem is that there is limited time and a seemingly unlimited list of things to do to grow a business, which makes you feel stressed and overwhelmed.

We can take action today to start living our dream life. I understand the overwhelm of being a teacher, wife, mother and household manager, which is why I teach other teachers how to build businesses one step at a time.

​Here’s how I do it:

  • I do the research and keep up with all the tools and processes of best practices for building a business.
  • I have created a step-by-step process so that you can focus on one step at a time without getting bogged down in the details.
  • ​I have live community support so that you can ask questions and get help when you run into roadblocks.

Don’t waste any more time doing things that don’t matter. Book a discovery call to find your path to business ownership today.

​Stop scrolling and searching all over the internet about how teachers can start a business and start taking action on your dream today!
