Boss like a mother; mother like a boss
By The Happy Startup School
I’ve had a number of conversations in our Happy Startup community where I’ve heard about the overwhelming pressure professional women are under to achieve it all: career, kids and caring partner.
And to do it with an effortless smile.
But it isn’t that easy.
It doesn’t mean that you can’t have it all.
But according to Emma Draper, award winning retail entrepreneur, property developer and mother, “we need to release ourselves of the guilt and just do the best we can”.
On the outside Emma is an amazing role model for female entrepreneurs.
Over 23 years she’s built a multi-million pound business, had three kids and truly loves her work.
But it didn’t come easy.
She had to work damned hard to make it ALL work.
Patience, purpose and persistence have been key.
Emma will be joining us this Friday to share what she’s learned about business, and more importantly, about herself over the past 23 years.
We’ll cover business topics such as leadership, culture and positioning as well as more personal topics such as motherhood, personal growth and finding your why.
I got to know Emma really well when she joined us this year at Alptitude and since then she’s fallen in love with our community and made some close friends.
She’s on a journey of reimagining her life and how she can harness all her knowledge and experience to help other ambitious women like her.
If you’re a female entrepreneur at the start of your journey or you’ve been in business for a few years but now feel stuck (and overwhelmed) then this episode is for you.
We would love to inspire you with Emma’s story and give you permission to dream big whilst also not hiding the struggle.
It’s ok to want it all. Just give yourself some slack if it doesn’t come as easily as Instagram says it should.
And this message isn’t just for women. It’s for any founder who wants more from life than just a 9 to 5 and wishes to embrace the full spectrum of emotions that building a business has to offer.
