I’m going back to school for marketing after 15 years in education. I dream of opening my own business. But I’m nervous being older and starting a whole new venture. Every time I think, “Why not me? Why can’t I grow a successful art business?”, another voice comes along saying “What makes you think YOU could be a business owner? You’ve only been a teacher!”

Hey!

I am a teacher too.

Please don't think that ' You can't start your own business ' and you were just a teacher.

You are a teacher because of whom many students have learnt how to express themselves and whatever they are in their life right now, a small contribution is because of you too.

Don't under estimate yourself.

You can do it.. All the best!

And once you have done, do let me know. :)

Good luck!

Don't worry about what the voice says. Your heart will have the right answers and if you plan accordingly, you'll be successful.
