Discover why many teachers are setting up a
home-based business in these ever-changing
economic times, working just a few extra hours
each week... and how you can too...
Nicola, Teacher from Swansea
“I’ve earned just short of two years’ of my teaching salary in eight
months. I managed to build and furnish an extension with this
extra income, and go on holiday to Mexico with my children.”
Many teachers are also building a secure
financial future by creating a recurring income,
doing a job just once but get paid over and over again...
Derek, Ex-Headteacher from Cardiff
“It was the year 2000. I’d reached the age of 38 with two young children
I rarely saw, and a stressful job as a Primary School Headteacher
looking after 300 pupils. The one thing I didn’t have was time.
Then I found this opportunity.”
“Today, my residual income massively surpasses the amount I earned as a Headteacher.
We’ve paid off our mortgage and loans, and we’ve funded our two children through university. Our residual income
enables us to spend time together as a family, supporting our children, as they build their careers.
More importantly, it’s given us peace of mind. It’s allowed me to focus on my health which is something I’d
neglected over the years.
The business has also brought us many special friendships. Seeing other Partners succeed, including our son
James, gives us great pleasure. The thought of our children becoming financially independent too is really exciting.”
Angela, Ex-Teacher from Stockport
“I was a Primary School Teacher, juggling the demands of the
profession alongside bringing up a young family.”
“I’d work 65 to 70 hours a week, spending more time with other people’s children,
than my own. As a parent, that saddened me, so something had to change.
We realised that this opportunity was the solution to our problems, as it introduced
us to the power of residual income.
We worked the business part-time, around our day jobs, and as a result, the business grew. It allowed us choices we
could never have imagined.
I steadily reduced my working week by half a day at a time, until I could reduce it to just one day a week. This meant I
could do things like take my boys to and from school and we’ve enjoyed fantastic family holidays, spending quality time
together. Most importantly, it’s given us the freedom to own our own time, which is absolutely priceless.
Five years ago, I retired from the teaching profession, 21 years early. We’ve had the privilege of changing our lives and
helping others to do the same.”
