Inside episode 52 of Biz & Booze, I'm diving into why entrepreneurship as we know it is NOT set up for us to succeed. And how I'm changing the game to work for us (not the other way around).   The way we view entrepreneurship, and the way people have traditionally approached starting and running a business is all wrong. There are the 3 core mistakes people make that make entrepreneurship risky, time-consuming, and complicated. That's why so many who DO pursue it find themselves working harder than they would at a 9-5 and ultimately fail... And why so many, especially us MOMS who are juggling a full-time job on top of a full-time job, avoid it in the first place. But entrepreneurship doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to be high-risk or high-stress, and it doesn't have to be expensive. IF you know how to do it the RIGHT way. The NEW way.   Looking for more?

In case you weren't aware... Which you are (whether you realize it or not): We got a MOM dilemma!   As a mom, society gives us two options: have a job or stay at home.   So you're either working your butt off all day (climbing that corporate ladder) with no time to spend with your kids OR you're working your butt off all day with no escape from them. We're stuck in this all-or-nothing scenario, where to succeed in one area, huge sacrifices have to be made at home, with our careers, or both.   In episode 51, I'm diving into this controversial topic, and shining light on the movement to change it for the better... to give moms a new, BETTER option that actually WORKS for us, and not the other way around.   So sit back and grab your drink, it's time to think!   ________   Access the FREE mini-course: www.mybizfreetraining.com Show notes: lauramarkz.com/51   ________   Connect with Me!
