Your daily reminder that motherhood teaches what no classroom can: it’s the ultimate training ground for entrepreneurship
Forget Ivy League MBAs and private equity internships—motherhood is the best training ground for entrepreneurship. Don’t underestimate it.
1. Pivot Like Ross Geller
We’ve been yelling “PIVOT!” since the double stroller wouldn’t fit through the Starbucks door. That quick reflex turned into a superpower: reading a room (or Zoom), spotting a frustrated client before the words even leave their mouth, and swiftly shifting the conversation to get them what they need.
2. Negotiate Like Olivia Pope
Bedtime bargains? Lunchbox content negotiations? We’ve basically been running Scandal at the kitchen table long before the morning’s first conference call. Now, those skills protect our businesses—we don’t let clients push down our rates, we flag contract overreach in seconds, and we sell suppliers on loyalty if they give us the right price.
3. Delegate Like Elsa
We’ve mastered the art of Let it Go—whether it’s laundry or low-value business tasks. We know when a “big name” contract isn’t worth it if it drains profit, and we shrug off a loss once we’ve learned the lesson. That’s growth with grace.
4. Efficiency Like Alex Cooper
School drop-off + emergency client call in the same hour? Call it Fast & the Focused. If Alex Cooper can flip a dorm-room mic into millions in podcasting, branding and real estate deals, we can knock out our One Hard Thing a Day and push our business forward inch by inch every day.
5. Build Like Kylie
If the youngest Jenner can turn lip kits into a billion-dollar brand, we can drive our businesses to seven figures and beyond. We may be juggling nap schedules instead of glam squads, but make no mistake—we’re building empires too.
