Summary: Kristin and Hillary answer one of the #1 questions they get asked by teachers: Do they miss having summers off now that they're online business owners? They explain that while the idea of a summer break initially attracted them to teaching, the promise of summers off wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

They share their experiences of how entrepreneurship has actually provided them with more flexibility and control over their schedules than teaching did. Overall, they emphasize that online business has allowed them to have a more balanced and fulfilling work life year-round and that they can now build in time off from their businesses whenever they want.

Key Takeaways:

• Having summers off often came with financial stress and the need to find temporary jobs.
• Kristin and Hillary were determined to find careers with a higher earning potential that didn't require them to work around the clock.
• Ultimately, transitioning from teaching to online business has provided them with more flexibility and control over their schedules.
