Today we’re diving deep into my journey from English teacher to a six-figure business owner. This is more than a clickbait headline—it’s an honest look at the twists, trade-offs, and transformations it took to reach this milestone. I’m sharing the truth behind the journey, the tough lessons, and what’s coming next.

Episode Highlights:

  1. How It All Started – from teaching English in Poland to living in UK and running a successful online business. 
  2. The Four Key Stages of Growth
    • Beliefs to Shed: I had to let go of limiting beliefs, like thinking my background or ADHD would hold me back.
    • Financial Investments: My first major leap was a £5,000 investment in a business coach, a risk that proved invaluable.
    • Pricing Evolution: I began with modest pricing but gradually raised it, understanding my value and learning to confidently charge accordingly.
    • Focusing on What Works: After trial and error with multiple offerings, I honed in on the Rocket Accelerator as the core of my business.
  3. Personal development journey
  4. The Power of Self-Awareness and learning to manage emotions was transformative

I used to be a teacher, a teacher trainer and even ran my own language school in the past, but I am now focused on coaching teachers full-time (and I love it!) So far I have helped over 600 language educators from all over the world and my mission is to see the world where teachers thrive, enjoy the hell out of life and their job and have a great impact on their students lives, mainly through getting better at marketing and selling fabulous language group programs and definitely without burnout or selling their souls.
