About this episode
Lily Jones discusses the challenges and stages of starting an education business, emphasizing the importance of embracing the messiness of the process.
If you've been thinking about starting an education business, it can feel really overwhelming knowing how to start, and most people really only see businesses when they're polished and successful. And it can feel intimidating, because we see these really well put together businesses that feel streamlined, and we don't see the messiness that goes into creating them. And so today I want to normalize the messiness that's how we learn. For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode184 .
