Mother / Founder
68 Women on the Trials and Triumphs of Starting a Business and Raising a Family
Description
Starting a business can be daunting, scary, and exciting, all at once; so too can starting a family. But they can coexist—as the incredible roster of women in this book demonstrate, entrepreneurship can be both a sustainable and fulfilling model for working motherhood. Each woman profiled here shares insights from her journey as well as powerful lessons and practical advice, including:
- How to plan for maternity leave
- The benefits of sharing financial information with your peers
- Key points to include when drafting a contract
- Creative ways to include your kids in your work
- The value of building support systems, from advisory boards to nanny shares
- Resources for securing grants and fellowships
- Tips for preparing taxes as a freelancer
- How to avoid the "mom guilt" trap
Filled with first-person stories of designers, makers, CEOs, farmers, pastry chefs, artists, lawyers, educators, and more, Mother / Founder captures with unprecedented candor the unique challenges and joys of what it means to launch and run a business while being just as fiercely dedicated to raising children.
