In this episode, we’re thrilled to share Sharon's incredible journey from teacher to seven-figure business owner! 🎉 Sharon opens up about her transition from the classroom, where she once felt trapped as a “pit pony,” to building Conexus Tuition, a thriving business helping students and franchisees all across the UK.

We dive into the highs, lows, and everything in between – from those early days of driving around in her Ford Mondeo for tutoring sessions to scaling her business into a national success. Along the way, Sharon drops absolute golden nuggets on mindset, resilience, and how to move from survival mode to thriving. 

If you’re a teacher thinking about stepping out of the classroom or just someone looking for inspiration to grow your business, this episode is packed with practical advice (and a few laughs) to get you thinking bigger!
