Did you start your product business and have since fallen out of love with it? It’s okay to pivot and start over with something new. My guest, Kathy Fernandez, is a former client and product business owner.
In this episode, she shares how she fell out of love with her first product business, and how she pivoted and started a new product business that was more in line with her passion – education.
Kathy is the founder of the Guided Teacher
Planner, KEZ Education, as well as her previous product brands, the
Haliburton Hoodie and Conscious Cottager. Kathy has been an
educator for 20 years. She’s a mentor, course and curriculum
writer, professional development presenter and facilitator and
works at building teacher capacity through in-school leadership.
She believes that all students are capable of learning and that
teachers just need the support and resources to help them do that.
She’s a lifelong learner and would be a full time student if she
could!
