Being married to John, Sarah is not a stranger to the Ambitious Lifestyle Business he has strived to achieve, and she was very aware that the pressure she was under from her employed teaching job was far from fitting in that box.
The nagging “Who am I doing this for?” become too much and Sarah made a big decision.

#ALB79 – Why Sarah Lamerton closed the doors after just 18 months
18 months ago Sarah quit her job and started her new business. In that time using the techniques she shares in this podcast she has gained a decade of experience, is currently completely full and has closed her books in order to embrace the lifestyle business she wanted to achieve.
School Days
Sarah had worked as a teacher for almost 20 years working her way up the ladder to a senior lead in education within the primary years setting. Sarah has always liked to challenge herself but found that the more and more changes schools were expected to go through she was losing her “why”.
Square pegs are good
Sarah knows how to teach and is a master in not only accepting but also implementing that children are all different and therefore will all learn in different ways. She wanted to take the time to be able to celebrate children’s individuality. Nurture their love for maths and celebrate their results but that is not so easy to deliver within the classroom setting.
Words of advice from her spouse
Being married to John, Sarah is not a stranger to the Ambitious Lifestyle Business he has strived to achieve, and she was very aware that the pressure she was under from her employed job was far from fitting in that box. But it is not in Sarah’s nature to give up on anything, so she persevered for the time being.
Sarah did offload onto John about the pressure the job was bringing, how she felt the longing for an ambitious lifestyle business but still be able to do what she loves and teach. John offered sound words of advice: “leave then!”
The nagging “Who am I doing this for?” and not necessarily agreeing with certain ways of doing things continued to play on Sarah’s mind however.
This was then emphasised by her own two children’s experience of school and she realised that school isn’t right for all children and there are most certainly different ways of doing things.
18 months of planning her business
It was definitely not a kneejerk decision, Sarah thought long and hard about this decision to start her own business but she knew it was something she had to do.
The original plan was to start the business and continue to teach part time, but soon realised that this was just not going to work. Even part time hours equated to full time when she considered lesson planning, marking and everything else involved.
No, all Sarah’s focus would be on her new business.
Who leaves a paid role to start brand new business just before a pandemic?
Nobody knew what was around the corner for us back in early 2020 but a global pandemic probably wasn’t high on our lists of things that could go wrong.
But Sarah had made her decision she was starting her lifestyle business and as mentioned earlier it is simply not in Sarah’s nature to give up on anything.

Quotes from this episode:
“It all stems back from working on myself, and just having the courage to do it”
“For someone who fell into it, we seem to be doing alright at it, to be fair!”
“Over the years, I’ve managed to learn to focus on one thing or two things now. If you try and spin too many plates at one time, you get mediocre results in several things.”
“You need to develop the owner and not the business. Develop the owner and everything else falls into place.”
“Someone recommends a book to me. I buy it. I don’t procrastinate. I just buy it.”

DON’T YOU WISH GROWING YOUR BUSINESS COULD BE LESS STRESSFUL?
Could you improve your business by just 1% this week? Note: I said “improve”, NOT “grow” your business – growth might not be what you need.
More customers, more leads, more staff, more stress might be the last thing you need.
You might actually need more profit. more margin. more leverage.
You might need more time, less stress, and a business that relies less on you as the “font of all knowledge and the god-like genius through which everything must flow”.
You might need a smaller team, fewer customers, and less products.
The One Percent Club won’t help you grow your business. It’ll help you IMPROVE it – 1% at a time. Baby steps. Steady, predictable improvement – towards the kind of business you wanted when you first started – one that delivers a fantastic lifestyle, and serves you rather than you serving it.
