What if maternity leave was the beginning of a completely new career?

When Ella Tebby became a mum, she knew she didn't want to return to full-time teaching. But with no business experience, no business idea and just $1,000 to get started, she had no idea where to begin.

After joining our It Happen programme, Ella turned her experience as an early childhood teacher into Education Starts at Home, a product-based business that generated over $300,000 in its first year!

Just ONE MONTH after launching, she was earning more than she had as a teacher. In this episode, Ella shares how she found her product idea, built an audience before launching, and used clever, low-cost marketing strategies to grow her business. 

She also opens up about the challenges behind the success, including a sudden downturn in sales that forced her to rethink her entire marketing strategy.

Now a Make It Happen Emerging Founder of the Year winner, Ella is proof that you don't need a huge budget or years of experience to build a successful business.
