Her husband was about to burn the newspaper. Then he spotted the ad.

In this episode of Changing Lanes, Rachel and Susan chat with Susan Dean, founder and CEO of Dean Publishing. Susan has done it all, from working in jobs that weren’t fulfilling, to mature age study to running businesses.

Then came the newspaper ad. Four words, “do you like helping people,” torn out of the paper her husband was ripping up to build a fire. She rang the number and became the world’s first female Mars Venus coach for Dr John Gray.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The newspaper ad her husband nearly burnt, and the career change that followed

  • Becoming the world’s first female Mars Venus coach for Dr John Gray

  • Going back to study as a mature age student after saying no to uni at 18

  • Leaving a successful business because it wasn’t the one she wanted

  • How to write a book when you don’t know where to start

  • What stops people from writing their book, and the fears she hears most

  • How to publish a book, and getting picked up by bookstores

  • Losing everything and starting over when you can’t pay the mortgage

  • The authors whose stories still stop her, years later

  • Running a business around school hours, assemblies and small kids

  • Working with her two daughters now they’ve come back to the business
