Episode 55: Teacher Side Hustle 101 with Stacey Ogden




The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education show

Summary: <p>This week on the Edverything Podcast, we feature Stacey Ogden, the founder of @SideHustleTeachers. Stacey is a veteran music educator turned blogger turned podcaster, turned edupreneur coach. Stacey is an incredible example of owning her role as a teacher, but not allowing this to define every aspect of her life so that she can fully embrace her multiple passions and encourage others to do the same (and maybe make a little extra income along the way!) </p> <p>Stacey created a free online community which allows her to deep dive with teachers who want to start a business as a way to stay busy over the summer, or want a different way to pursue their passions, or make a little extra income, or are looking to transition out of the classroom altogether. Stacey is so very present with her community to not only offer free resources, support, real-time feedback, but she offers a free 15-minute call with each new member to truly learn about how she can support and guide their transition to side-hustling. </p> <p>Stacey’s goal is to help her clients become equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to run successful businesses, and boy, does she do it well. </p> <p>In this episode, we hone in on some of the main reasons teachers hesitate committing fully to a side business, why we need to stop learning and start doing,  3 major questions to ask yourself before starting a side hustle, and how to avoid major pitfalls associated with the early stages of side businesses. </p> <p>If you do anything after today’s episode, I hope it is to join @sidehustleteachers on Facebook. Did you know there are over 2,700 members?!</p> <p>Links mentioned: </p> <p>Stacey's website: </p> <p><a href="http://side-hustle-teachers.com/">http://side-hustle-teachers.com/</a></p> <p>Stacey's Facebook Group: </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/sidehustleteachers/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/sidehustleteachers/</a></p>
