The CEO Wingwoman 8. Can CEO’s take maternity leave? How to build a community & Navigating Money Guilt
This week I sat down with Amanda Smith, CEO of Dallas girl gang and we tackled all the hard issues about being a business owner. Amanda is currently pregnant and is preparing her team for maternity leave – a concept somewhat foreign to business owners. We discussed her process for preparing her team and hiring the proper positions to fill the gap that will be left when she goes on her leave. Amanda also gave us insight into how she built her business up from a fun activity to a full blown business that supports her and how she used the element of community to do that. And finally we talked about money and feeling guilt & shame around charging for your services and how to get over that!
There is SO much to learn in this episode & I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
