The Boss Mom Podcast

Welcome AMAZING BOSS MOM We are so glad you found us because that means you have a burning desire to create something in this world...something that positively impacts people AND also makes you money. You are in the right place. Here at Boss Mom, we know all too well the challenges of raising babies and businesses at the same time and you need more than just great resources (which we have) you also need a strong support system (we have that too). Just like all moms you need a simple business because life is complex and you should never have to apologize for having a sometimes unpredictable schedule. You can build a really successful (and profitable) business in 15 hours a week, you just have to know how (and we are going to show you). We interview amazing ladies who share their struggles and successes as well as solo episodes where I guide you through our Nurture to Convert System designed to help Boss Moms raise their business and babies at the same time. I'm Dana Malstaff, founder and CEO of Boss Mom LLC, and I'll be your host.

A lot of us listen to podcasts and attend talks with entrepreneurs, but it can be difficult to picture the daily running of the speaker’s business as they give examples or describe systems. What’s actually happening behind the scenes? How do finished products come to life? What does the process look like?

On this episode, I talk with my director of operations, Amy Lockrin, to give you an inside look into one of our meetings.

 

3 Things We Learned From This Episode

Hire an operations manager (05:08- 06:47)

An operations manager is an important part of your business. They’ll help you maintain your focus to ensure you’re looking at every venture as logically as possible. They’re also the ones who will be able to step in, in the event you leave your business for a month. As the CEO, you have to be able to step away for periods of time. The operations manager allows you to do that and should be able to improve your business in your absence.

 

Not all your ideas will come to life, and that’s okay! (29:31- 30:20)

If you’re a creative person, you probably have a million ideas everyday. Obviously, not all of those can become a reality. That’s why you need an operations manager. They’re the ones who will help you execute certain ideas and determine which ones to skip.

 

Get comfortable with hearing ‘no’ (30:54- 32:00)

Your business needs to be run by a team of brainstormers. That means having discussions and allowing for constructive criticism. If you’re hearing ‘no’ from an operations manager, never take it personally. This is about making the best business decision, not personally attacking you.

 

There’s a lot of work that goes into running a business that, unless you’re part of the operations, you might not know about. There are a lot of conversations that take place before anything happens, and the more skilled voices we have to share in those conversations, the better. Running a business is like raising a child: it takes a village. Don’t shy away from having a team to help you. You have the building blocks, so get someone to help you set them up.
