Episode Summary
Being a TPT seller looks different for each person. Some of you are full-time TPT sellers who have left the classroom while others are in the classroom with the end goal of working from home on TPT full time. Our guest today, Katarina Lazaris, is a full time teacher and successful TPT seller with no plans to leave the classroom.
Katarina is the face behind Lessons for Learning and a 6th-grade full-time teacher. She started her TPT store during her very first year of teaching and the rest is history! If you love being in the classroom but also love growing your TPT business, Katarina is proof that you can do both.
In our conversation, Katarina shares why she stays in the classroom even though her TPT store brings in a full-time income. She also breaks down how she manages her time in both roles to avoid burnout. If you dream about being a full-time teacher while running a thriving TPT store, I have a feeling this episode will leave you feeling inspired!
