In this episode of Marketing Like a Mother, Olivia Radcliffe talks with Jenna Rykiel, a business and mindset coach for mom entrepreneurs, about the challenges and rewards of transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship. Jenna shares insights on overcoming mindset hurdles, the importance of creating a business that aligns with your life as a mom, and why failure should be seen as a friend rather than a foe. They also discuss the societal pressures moms face and how to create a business that not only supports financial goals but also nurtures the joy and freedom of being a mom.
Key Takeaways:
Mindset is Key: The success of your business hinges not just on strategy, but on believing in yourself and aligning your business with your personal values and lifestyle.
Failure as a Friend: Embrace failure as a learning tool; it's an essential part of the entrepreneurial journey.

Value of Transition Planning: Picking a transition date from corporate to entrepreneurship can be a powerful motivator and provide clarity in the journey ahead.
Corporate to Entrepreneurship Shift: Shifting from a corporate mindset to an entrepreneurial one requires letting go of old habits and redefining what success looks like.
