It’s Monday, so that means it’s time for another Monday Matters episode! This week, Jen and I are continuing a series of conversations that revolve around the chapters from my new book, Whose Permission Are You Waiting For? An Educator’s Guide to Doing What You Love. The chapter we’re discussing this week is called “Let’s Talk About Money”. Even though many educators love what they do, they often make less money than their peers in other professions. So, when educators consider doing the work they love, they also need to consider what kind of income they need to pay their bills. Listeners are encouraged to think about their money goals and what is it that they need to do to meet them. We also talk about ways educators can supplement their income, through work in education or outside of it. There are a lot of factors that go into an educator’s income, so the advice offered in this episode and the book are not one size fits all, but they are important things to consider when thinking about money. This is a very complex topic and there is not a one-size fits all answer about how educators can supplement their income. With that said, if this topic interests you and you would like to talk about it with us in more detail, email Jen or I at jen@jenschwanke.com or will@williamdparker.com. We would love to know your thoughts on this topic!
On another note, Jen announces her 5th book, Trusted, will be coming out in August! Stay tuned to learn more about it and where you can purchase a copy!
