About this episode

*This launches the beginning of a new series of our show: education entrepreneurship. We'll release an additional episode monthly, highlighting entrepreneurial voices in our industry doing great things.

Want to chat with us? Book a free meeting here. 

In this episode, we introduce the series and discuss what it takes to start and run your own business. Specifically, we explore the transition from traditional teaching roles to entrepreneurial ventures.

We chat about:

  • Why waiting until you're uncomfortable might be too late to start your business
  • The real difference between commitment and consistency and why one matters more
  • How teachers can build businesses without a one-size-fits-all model
  • What Andrew's beach business (and Bob the Book) taught him about resourcefulness, scrappiness, and getting started
  • Why belief in yourself is the most underrated strategy in entrepreneurship
  • Who this series is for and who it’s not for

Thank you for listening. Your support has been overwhelming and we couldn't do what we do without you. We hope this podcast serves as an effective CPD tool for you.
