Unpredicted Entrepreneur Episode 77: Swing for the Fences

Unpredicted Entrepreneur

“I want to point out something in regards to what you were just saying about the consumer and what you look for as a consumer. I believe this is important for any stay-at-home parent who’s listening. I think a lot of times people who've been home with their kids might assume that since they’ve been out of the workforce for a period of time, they might not have the skills to run a business. You are a perfect example of somebody who took what you learned being a consumer, managing contractors or work being done in your home, and transferred that mindset, skillset, and knowledge into providing a superior customer experience for your client.”

We work with many clients who have been stay-at-home parents. As their kids grow older and need them less, they often find themselves feeling a bit restless. They have a strong desire to contribute to the household but aren't necessarily eager to return to corporate life, or they may feel uncertain about reentering the workforce due to a job gap.

The skills they've developed at home - juggling schedules, volunteering, managing household tasks, and more - translate into excellent organizational and project management abilities, which are invaluable in business ownership. Additionally, their experience as consumers gives them a unique and valuable perspective.

We cover many current and relevant topics. A few include:

◈Growing a business with an emerging brand

◈Having a supportive spouse

◈The transferrable skillsets of a stay-at-home parent
