37: Thinking of Leaving Teaching? The Realities of Full-Time Business Income

Online Business for Teachers · 2026-01-07 · 17 min

Episode notes

What if working from home and “passive income” aren’t as stress-free as we’ve been led to believe? In this episode, I’m sharing a very honest reflection on what it’s actually like to run a business full time, especially as a former teacher who was used to a steady paycheck. I’m recording this at the start of a new year, in the middle of selling our house, and coming off a season that felt busy, heavy, and lacking joy. That reflection led me here. If you’re a teacher dreaming of leaving the classroom, working from home, or building “passive income,” this episode is for you. Not to discourage you, but to help you make the best decision at the right time with clarity instead of fantasy.
