"If it doesn't go according to plan, what is the worst thing that could happen that is the minimum I can be satisfied with?" We sit down with entrepreneur Jessica Dias to discuss growing a business. Jessica is an English teacher and founder of Jessy Academy — an online school that helps Brazilian learners break free from the intermediate plateau and develop real communication skills in English. She started her teaching business in 2020 and has since helped more than 2,000 learners speak with more clarity, confidence, and naturalness. After years of working in traditional schools, Jessica decided to ride solo and build a business that truly reflects her teaching philosophy: practical, human, and focused on real communication. In this episode, Jessica discusses: Overcoming Failure and Setting Realistic Goals The Genesis of the Itch: From School to Side Hustle Turning Passion into a Full-Time Business Embracing Change and Growth Building a Sustainable Business Model Challenges of Running a Business Balancing Client Work and Business Operations Delegation and Use of AI Tools Scaling While Maintaining Quality Advice for Handling Business Slumps FOR MORE FROM JESSICA DIAS: 1.
