When it's time to move on from teaching, it can feel overwhelming to figure out your next steps. To offer a bit of inspiration, here interviews with former teachers who now have more freedom, flexibility, and, yes, even income than ever.
Erin had loved teaching, but she was burning out—fast. After having her second child, she decided that the combination of her maternity leave and summer break was the perfect time to find and train for a new career.
She discovered copywriting and, after joining the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy, she decided to give herself a goal of replacing her teaching income in the five months she had before school was scheduled to begin.
Spoiler alert: It didn’t take her five months…it took her six weeks. Check out the video to hear Erin’s full story!
After 11 years teaching (frankly, anyone deserves a medal for that!), Comprehensive Copywriting Academy student Amanda knew it was time for a change.
After making the fun realization that you can *actually* write for a living–and get paid extremely well–Amanda is enjoying more flexibility, more time with family, and a lot less stress.
The icing on the cake? She’s now earning nearly double what she made as a teacher! Listen in as Amanda shares her full story with Nicki and Kate.
Seven months before this interview, Charlotte had no idea what copywriting even was! She set the goal of replacing her teaching income when her youngest child started going to school and, well...
She replaced her teaching income entirely within six months of joining the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy!
Watch this video to hear Charlotte's experience transitioning from teaching to copywriting, including how she set the goal to leave her job, how she built up a financial safety net, and what it’s been like working from New Zealand with clients all over the world.
When teaching was taking more from her than she had left to give, Jess took the brave step to hand in her resignation. Within just one month of working as a copywriter, she was earning the same money and working fewer hours!
Jess shares the steps she took to land her dream job and how she is embracing the newfound freedom (and extra time!) in her life.
