“The name of the book came from the reality of where we are in society with accepting moms in dual roles of running a successful business and family,”shares co-author Flesché Hesch. “By drawing attention to it, we hope to make the phrase mom entrepreneur obsolete in the future while acknowledging how support systems must change in order to have happy, healthy and thriving families.”
According to the National Women’s Business Council, the number of women-owned firms has grown 68 percent since 2007, compared with 47 percent for all businesses.
“With celebrity mom entrepreneurs Jessica Alba paving the way with The Honest Company, Reese Witherspoon starting Draper James and movies like JOY showing the realities of what it takes to start an empire and manage family, we are now seeing that reflection in mainstream media,”adds co-author Rachel Olsen.
