Through their online EB Writing Program and monthly membership, The EB Teachers’ Club, they have helped thousands of ELA teachers support their students in mastering standards.   On Today’s Show You’ll Learn:  The impact that being a business owner has on your life How consuming running a business can be Focusing on being a leader instead of the details of the day to day The benefit of bringing employees onto your team How to slowly release control with new hires Adjusting your hiring strategy based on your finances and workload Remember, we are building our business around our life, not the other way around.
