Teachers in Transition - Episode 43 - Interview with Brittany Long of "Life After Teaching"

Send us Fan MailWhen thinking about changing jobs (or careers) some people would rather work for someone else as an employee and others would prefer to strike out on their own. The trouble is they don't know how or where to start.My guest today, Brittany Long of My Life After Teaching offers in my interview with her that a health scare sent her looking for something she would rather do with whatever life she might have left instead of teaching. She found the answer in starting her own business. She and her husband, Zachary, manage their business from home and part of that business includes moderating a Facebook page at "Life After Teaching with Brittany and Zachary Long." Check it out!In today's conversation, I let Brittany tell her story and we discuss how what we do individually has the potential for helping more teachers who are exploring the possibility of leaving the classroom for another job or career. If you want a traditional job and need up-to-date job search tools like a resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and know-how when it comes to preparing for an interview, then I am your gal. If you want to create a business that includes creating a sales funnel or a legitimate work-from-home gig, then Brittany is your go-to gal.And it is possible that you need both of us. You may need a day job while building your side hustle into a full-time endeavor.Here is Brittany's official bio:  Brittany Long is a former middle school science teacher turned six-figure freelancer and entrepreneur. She left the classroom to work as a copywriter, funnel builder, and email marketer while also helping teachers transition out of the classroom by finding a side-hustle that can turn into a full-time hustle. Brittany and her husband Zach, along with two small dogs and a baby on the way, do their freelancing work from home and run the blog LifeAfterTeaching.com. Together they have paid off over $60,000 in less than 8 months and continue to advocate for side hustles, debt-free living, and skill-building. Support the show
