Introducing Teachers in Business Artwork

Uncomplicating Business with Sara Torpey

Business gets WAY less complicated when you keep it human. In the Uncomplicating Business world, we use a simple, flexible four-part framework—ground, plan, connect, sell—to help you simplify decisions, set (and keep!) effective timelines, and show up consistently without burning out. You’ll hear bite-sized solo episodes and thoughtful interviews that turn messy challenges into actual actions, from pricing with confidence to building trust with yourself, your offers, and your community. Come for the clarity, stay for the momentum. Let's create *functional success* - where successful businesses are one part of our successful lives - together.

Why should you listen to this podcast? Here's what Teachers in Business is all about!

Hello hello!

Welcome to episode zero of the podcast! This podcast, Teaches in Business is for former teachers - all of you out in the teaching world who are now out of the school building and building your own thing whether it's a coaching business or a business with a teaching ben or something entirely different doesn't matter what kind of businesses it is just that you've moved on from where you were to where you're going.

We're going to talk about all things growing a business because it's really what I do as a business coach but all from the teacher perspective because that's who I am.

This podcast is going to be all about how we grow without the business degree without having been in the corporate world and without any of the things you don't actually have to have because you don't need that paper in that experience what you need is the paper and the experience you already have teaching experience is business experience and my job here on the podcast is to translate the world of education and the skills that it takes to be an excellent teacher like you've been into the skills and the experience it takes to grow a successful profitable business in the business world.

My job is to remind you that above all else you do belong here amongst the entrepreneurs amongst the business owners amongst the CEOs and you are one of them right now. Do you think a little differently than everyone else around you? Probably. Sometimes does that mean you feel like you don't belong? Yeah. But thinking differently and feeling like an outsider sometimes is a good thing - that's how we've gotten all of the innovations most of them at the very least through the history of innovation, right?

What you do and what you do in business may not be for everyone, that's normal, and that's one of the ways in which teaching and business depart from each other. That's one of the things we're going to dive deeper into over the course of this podcast journey.

In the end, what matters is that I believe the world is a business is a better place for having teacher brains in it. My mission is to help former teachers not just succeed in the business world but lead it.

The world the business world and the world as a whole will be a better place for having more teacher minds sitting at the head of the table making the big decisions.

I look forward to learning together with you! Let's keep listening!
