Beyond the Classroom, a Podcast with Sandy Patterson Sandy Patterson

Let’s chat about the importance of giving ourselves space to just be and the benefits of unplugging (from devices AND the massive to-do lists we’re all carrying around like baggage) and de-stimulating our minds. There’s so much value in slowing down and allowing our brains to wander; it’s where the best ideas and downloads drop in. This episode is your permission to give yourself to just be.   
 
QUOTABLES
 
“Let your mind just start to wander. Allow those ideas and inspiration to come in, and I think you’ll find that it’s a really, really good feeling!”

In this episode, Sandy interviews former teacher turned copywriter and business owner, Devan Lauerman, about her journey out of the classroom and into small business ownership. You’ll hear all about how Devan got started in her business (she was working full time when she started her biz), how she moved through the tricky obstacles that might have held her back (but she didn’t let them!), and you’ll hear how Devan literally built her business around what’s important to her; her family. Devan has some great advice and reminds us that business building is not always easy, and it doesn’t always move as quickly as we want, but boy is it worth it! Enjoy!

QUOTEABLES 
 
"I was scared. I didn't want to feel like I was missing summer with my kids, but I also didn't want to feel like I was letting my business down or letting my clients down. I wanted to feel successful in both areas and I think that that's something that we often grapple with."

Don’t let these myths hold you back from building the life and business of your dreams. 
 
Have you ever thought: 
 
“I wish there was more time in the day. If ONLY I had TEN more hours, THEN I could build my business/go to the gym/finish my course/do that thing I’ve been wanting to do.”
 
“This is going to take foreverrrrrrrr. I want it to work now.”
 
“I have to hustle and grind all day everyday to make this work.” 
 
“I have to sacrifice time with my family/free time/sleep to make this work.” 
 
Listen in to debunk all of these myths plus more. Stop getting in your own way with all these lies, and get going building that business, girl! 
 
QUOTEABLES 
 
“We don’t get to choose the timeline. Yes, there are things we would love to happen in a certain amount of time, but we don’t get to choose. All we get to do is take aligned action, do what we can, and fully believe that it’s going to work and that our success is inevitable. If we’re doing that, and that belief is solid, there’s no reason why it has to take you a long time.

After the “5 Tips to Build Your Business While Teaching Full Time” episode aired, I got a TON of questions about the nitty gritty of leaving my teaching job. 
 
What were you actually doing? 
How did you make decisions? 
What were you thinking & feeling? 
How time did it actually take you? For real? 
 
In this episode, I get real with you and break it all down and answer these questions and more. This isn’t about WHY I left my teaching job, it’s about HOW I did it, how I made decisions, how I focused my time, and how much time it actually took to build my business while teaching full time and being a mom. 
 
QUOTEABLES 
 
“I just want to be very, very clear and very transparent here. When I committed to leaving my classroom, it wasn't like, I know that I said like the switch was flipped, but there was still a lot of fear and a lot of like unknowns. And that's why, looking back, there was no need for the fear. There was no need for that because all of the things that I thought were so important and were so like do or die, they actually weren't that important.”

QUOTEABLES 
 
“So much of the process is unlearning everything that we were taught growing up. Because we needed those rules and those guidelines and those understandings for a period of time, but once we get into adulthood and we know okay- here are the ins and outs of civilization and interacting with others and functioning in our own lives, now it’s time to unlearn all those things that aren’t beneficial to us. One of those being: worry.”
