Welcome to SchneiderB Unschooled!
After 28 years in private education, I took the leap into entrepreneurship, creating a business that serves the very schools I once called home. Welcome to SchneiderB Unschooled, where I'll document my journey from being a longtime school employee to an education entrepreneur.
Why This Substack?
Every year, talented educators and school administrators consider leaving institutions to launch businesses that support schools from the outside. It's an exciting but daunting transition that few talk about openly. I created this Substack to be the resource I wish I'd had when making this leap.
What to Expect
I promise authentic, unfiltered insights into this career transformation. You'll find:
The unvarnished truth about transitioning from a stable school position to entrepreneurship after nearly three decades in education
Real challenges of building a business that serves schools (including the financial rollercoaster and learning curve)
Practical strategies for leveraging your insider knowledge as a former school employee
The unexpected benefits and difficulties of seeing education from both sides
The Good and The Bad
I won't sugarcoat this journey. For every exhilarating win, there have been moments of doubt and obstacles I never anticipated. This space will celebrate successes but also honestly examine setbacks, because both contain valuable lessons.
Whether you're contemplating a similar path, already on it, or simply curious about the intersection of education and entrepreneurship, I invite you to subscribe and join the conversation.
Let the unschooling begin,
