Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich show! This week, we’ve got a much-anticipated episode lined up—my wife and business partner, Claire, is joining me for a conversation about her journey from being a secondary school maths teacher to stepping into the world of business full-time.
Claire and I sit down at our dinner table to talk about how her role in teaching shifted over the years, with growing pressures and responsibilities that went far beyond just teaching maths. She shares her thoughts on the increasing demands placed on teachers in the UK and how the erosion of public services played a big part in her decision to leave the profession.
We also cover the reality of our own transition from traditional careers to running our own business. Claire talks about the early days of juggling family life and work, the learning curve of sourcing for Amazon FBA, and how she ended up proving she’s better at it than me! We touch on some of the challenges and the steps we took to make this lifestyle change work for us.
If you’ve ever considered leaving a secure job to pursue something different, there’s plenty in here that might resonate with you. Claire’s perspective offers insight into managing risk, adjusting priorities, and finding a path that aligns with what really matters to you and your family.
