Jeannie Spiro was sick of working in Corporation America and knew she had an inner calling to do more. She eventually quit her job to work on her own business and help other mom entrepreneurs. Rosemary asks her a couple of questions about how she was able to achieve it and she talks a little bit about how other moms can successfully manage and prepare themselves to own their own business.

Key Takeaways:

5:45- When Jeannie joined a smaller company, she was able to learn the entrepreneurial ropes through her boss at the time. 

9:30 – The mindset you need is to really prepare yourself. Have a bit of money saved, get a support system, and take care of the details.  

14:00 – Jeanie has special marketing days. She focuses on her blog, newsletter, webinars, and social media. 

17:22 – How do you convince your husband that what you're doing is great? Jeannie says let your partner see inside your business. Share the good news with him, share the bad news, and the other ups and downs of a business. . 

23:00 – Jeannie currently has an empty nest and talks a little bit about how she was able to transition into easily. She's not feeling sad about them being gone, because she gets to help other people every day. 

29:25 – In Jeannie's newsletter, she always adds a little intro to talk about what's really going on in her life. She doesn't sugar coat it. She shows her valuable side, she is herself, and people love her for it. 

32:25 – If you're building a 6-figure business, you need to figure out who your clients are, what's your niche, and then from there develop your business model. 

40:00 – The biggest road bump is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Break it down, work on your website, offer a free product, and develop your newsletter. All you have to do is start with that.

Abby Theuring is a big advocate for breastfeeding your own children. She is the owner of www.thebadassbreastfeeder.com/ and was recently on the news for sharing some of her opinions about breastfeeding and why it's good for your children. She is also a self-identified attachment parent and today talks to Rosemary a little bit about what that means and how you can maybe become one too. 

Key Takeaways:

2:00 – There's a lot of moms who want to breast feed their children, but are afraid of the stigma. Abby tries to help with that.

4:45 – She struggled with breast feeding at the beginning.

8:45 – What is attachment parenting? It's taking a more 'villager' old-fashion approach to just holding your baby more, sleeping with your baby more, and giving your baby more sense of touch than what modern times provides. It's not a club, just an idea of how you can be closer to your child.

11:05 – When I became a mother, I didn't know what was going on. She was very disconnected to her mothering instincts and it took her awhile to learn that.

15:30 – When Abby learned about attachment parenting, it all made sense to her and it made sense with how she wanted to raise her child.

17:30 – If you have a million moms in a room, you'll have a million different ways to do things. Empowering women is not about telling them what to do it's about helping them discover what's right for them.

23:30 – Rosemary started Motivating Other Moms to give other moms support and thinks Abby is also helping with that message.

28:00 – Attachment parenting is about building a close bond with your child, not whether you use a stroller or not use a stroller. You can do either as long as you are building a close bond with your baby.

32:00 – Abby still breastfeeds her 3 year old and was on the news to talk about it. She thought people received it pretty well. She thought mothers appreciated her for coming out and talking about such a controversial topic.

37:00 – Why is there such a stigma to breastfeeding in public? Abby thinks we have an over-sexualized culture and women/mothers are undervalued. Formula is also widely used, so why breastfeed? We have an alternative now, therefore breastfeeding doesn't need to be used.

42:25 – Despite reading tons of parenting books, Abby was still under prepared, which is why she created her blog.

45:40 – What is Abby's current favorite parenting book? Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn

10:10 – Moms are judged for almost everything and it can be overwhelming. Mom's need the support.

13:15 – Don't be afraid to ask for help and look for help else where if someone is making you feel bad for it. 

15:30 – Corporate American is becoming more flexible with parents because they don't want to lose their top performers.

17:20 – Ally did it all on 6 hours a week in the beginning. Be ready to be flexible and have boundaries over your time.

22:00 – Keep in mind that childcare is considered a business expense and can be a tax write-off.
