So my partner kind of gets me to take those vacations, book those trips, take those days off.” — Lindsay McMahon “It's a rookie mistake to spend all your time going to the sessions sitting there taking notes, which is something that is easy to do, rather than going out, meeting people and talking to people.” — Lindsay McMahon “Anyone who can speak English as their first language, or even as their second language can become an online English teacher or English influencer but it's a lot harder to set up an actual business, that's a different thing.” — Lindsay McMahon “If you think about the number of people that need English in their daily lives or their work. It's absolutely humongous.” — Lindsay McMahon “The biggest mistake was we never talked about what would happen if one person would eventually want to leave the business.” — Lindsay McMahon
