Can a Teacher be an Entrepreneur? [Friday Coffee Corner]

Just wrapped up an eye-opening interview with Richard Robbins—a teacher-turned-entrepreneur who’s brought his 21 years of experience to classrooms in China, a thriving homeschool, and his own business ventures.

Here are some golden nuggets from Richard’s journey:

🔄 Keep Learning, Always: Richard believes being an eager learner is one of the best ways to inspire students.

👩‍🏫 Challenge Your Students: Encourage questions and critical thinking! This goes beyond the textbook and helps students truly understand and grow.

👨‍👧‍👦 Involve Family: Richard homeschools his 8 kids and runs a family business, teaching them hands-on skills in everything from business to personal finance.

💪 Adapt and Thrive: From teaching English in China without knowing Mandarin to running his family business, success lies in the power of resilience and adaptability.

Ok! So, which takeaway resonates with you most?
