Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in language education but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Simon Price, Founder of Modern World English, located in Granada, Andalucia, Spain.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We help intermediate and advanced learners of English understand the real-world English used by native speakers.
Tell us about yourself
After spending 12 years creating English courses for banks and energy companies, I wanted to provide fun and interactive courses that can be accessed by all learners. Finding new ways to explain complex ideas and have them resonate and connect with students gets me fired up and hungry to become an even better communicator.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Selling 700 copies of my first course without any previous digital marketing experience was a huge personal achievement and gave me the confidence to continue on the entrepreneurial journey.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Having to run all aspects of the business myself while reserving the mental space and time to design and create new products.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be brave - once you decide on a course of action, don't think yourself out of it.
- If you have previous experience in the industry, you are much better placed to know what will work and what doesn't.
- The tasks you try and shy away from are probably the ones that offer you the greatest possibility of business and personal growth, so embrace them!
