(I Haven’t Made It Yet) Juggling the World of Teaching by Day, and Startup Visionary by Night - Ep 10

Big Vision Business Owners with Chantelle Dyson

Navigating the tightrope walk between a career in teaching and the entrepreneurial leap is no small feat, and this week I'm revealing the raw truths behind such a journey. Picture this: I'm prepping for a crucial business presentation, but I'm also on the clock at a school, ready to mold young minds. In this intimate sharing session, I recount how adjusting my teaching schedule created the breathing room my business desperately needed, while also dissecting the often sugarcoated success stories on networking platforms. This balancing act isn't just about passion; it's a strategic game of time management and financial planning that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves.
As someone who's worn the hats of CEO, CMO, and CFO all before lunch, I understand the juggling act that is solo entrepreneurship. In this episode, I explore the necessity of a safety net when building your dream business and the reality that growth often comes at a snail's pace. I'll share how maintaining a foothold in my previous teaching career not only provided a financial cushion but also offered a unique perspective that enriched my business venture. For anyone standing at the crossroads of maintaining stability and chasing innovation, this episode is a must-listen, as I lay bare the strategies and mindset needed to navigate these transformative waters successfully.
