    About this ebook

    I changed my life and you can too. Although this book covers my journey from teacher to writer, it is applicable to all professions. Today, I am the Editorial Director for MindRocket Media Group, an education writer for the Huffington Post and an official LinkedIn Thought Leader for education and education technology.

    I have spoken with thousands of teachers and people who work in the nonprofit realm. We chat about careers, future goals and how they feel about their profession. Unfortunately, countless numbers of people are simply unhappy in their current roles.

    And the data speaks for itself. Alternatives to Teaching: 20 Companies that Hire Teachers, an article found on my site, EdNews Daily, generates nearly 100,000 page views per month. This specific article focuses on career options for teachers looking outside the field. These teachers contact me every week, with a community growing close to 10,000 educators.

    And, they want to change careers, however, they simply don't know how to do so. This book covers the span of the most important things I've learned over the past five years reinventing myself as an educator, along with strategies and resources. In addition, the book focuses on mindset, how to network, professional branding, and specific ways to use LinkedIn to find success. Teachers who want to reinvent their lives have the abilities to do so. By learning about my story, following tips and taking action, teachers can be on their way to sharing their many talents.

    This book covers the following:
    Prologue: Why I Created this Book
    Chapter One: Why Should You Learn from Me?
    Chapter Two: My Story
    Chapter Three: How I Took Action
    Chapter Four: Make Changes and Take Action
    Chapter Five: Clean Up Your Digital Footprint
    Chapter Six: Make A Daily Plan
    Chapter Seven: Getting Started with LinkedIn
    Chapter Eight: How to Set Up Your LinkedIn Profile
    Chapter Nine: Activities
    Chapter Ten: Why Companies Should Hire Teachers
    Chapter Eleven: The Realities of a New Work World

      Why I Created this Book

      I wrote this book because I am and will always be a teacher by heart. However, I realize there is a gap that needs to be filled. Over the past few years, I’ve received thousands of requests and inquiries for advice, information, and guidance from teachers all over the world who want to leave the classroom.

      If you have visited my site, EdNews Daily, you may be one of those teachers. Maybe you found me through a Google search for an article, on Facebook or LinkedIn. Wherever you found me, I thank you for reaching out. I thank you for having the courage to change your life and for considering what is best for you, your family and especially for your students.

      As an educator, you are the most important person in the classroom. Teaching is one of most important professions. You make a difference every single day. This book was written out of the great demand from those who want to change careers.

      Please note, I am an advocate for teachers. We need you. The kids need you. However, I believe that if you are not happy in the classroom, your students are not happy. And this is an unfair justice because all students deserve to learn in a calm and special environment. For many kids, school is their only and safe place where they feel loved and cared for. As you know, it is the teacher’s role to encourage a love of learning. If you feel that your mood and temperament has fallen off track and is affecting your students, it is time to look into alternatives to classroom teaching.

      My reasons for leaving the classroom are most likely different than your reasons, and that is okay. The issues you face today are most likely more challenging, demanding and overwhelming. If you are a new teacher, teaching may not be the right fit for you. Although I am not teaching full time at this moment, I’m still fully involved in the field.
