The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education show

Summary: Though number of years in the profession, grade level taught, and location all have a significant bearing on the exact number, a recent Business Insider article published found that nationwide “the average public school teacher salary for the 2018-2019 school year was $61,730.” As a result, it is no surprise that so many teachers are trying to leverage their many skills into finding a profitable side hustle in order to make the most of their talents and to help them pay down students loans, make mortgage payments, or to start a retirement fund. While the allure of teacherpreneurship is obvious, the path to success is not. Erica Terry, of Classroom to CEO, shares that moving up within the education system isn’t always the path to greater financial freedom. A former school administrator, with the birth of her daughter Erica gave up the long hours that come with being school admin and traded it for a consulting gig— and a side hustle in which she helps other motivated edupreneurs find their path. This educator and mother knows how precious time is— and as a result, she makes the most of hers. In this episode, Erica explains how she uses one product to create multiple streams of revenue— and how you can do the same.
