Thinking about leaving the rat race behind and pursuing a passion?

This week's guest, Simon Hickton, did just that. Since then his business, Cornerstones Education, has grown from 3 founding directors to a team of over 35 people with a customer base that grows daily.

Simon's inspirational story begins as he discusses leaving a stable and enjoyable career as a head-teacher and journeys through the creation of Cornerstones Education, through the challenges faced when experiencing rapid business growth and the challenges, both personally and professionally, that face Simon and his team every single day.

Simon shares his own advice on making the jump from full time employment into following a dream along with offering actionable tips on how to prepare for that jump and making the transition as enjoyable as possible.
