FAMILY RECIPES FOR BUSINESS
I’m not a management guru. I’m a working mom who just wants to pass down what I’ve learned in business to my children. Sure, you can hire an expert or take a class to get your questions answered. Or, keep reading for the “real talk” a mother would tell her daughter (or son) about how to start, grow and manage a business.
Each post is styled as an email I’d write to my daughter Erin about a specific topic. More than anything, I hope it helps her. Perhaps it will help you, too.
Lessons from business that your daughter needs to know.
