Today's guest is a wife and mom of three teens, living the work-at-home life in the midwest. She supports female business owners through coaching, workshops, and in person events like the Lakeside Conference. Today we're joined by Robin Walker.
Robin shares how she made the pivot in her career.
- Robin is a teacher turned stay at home mom and entrepreneur after getting the “itch” and recognizing the need for supplemental income.
- Robin started with a business for continuing education for preschools but it became harder to fit this work life into baby and toddler schedules.
- She transitioned to business coaching when her strengths were not being used in the best way and she was wasting time and energy
- Having kids in school didn’t free up as much time as she had thought it would because of juggling the responsibilities of school and home.
Robin reflects on how she would have done it differently in the early years.
- Establishing good boundaries around your business helps avoid miscommunication and avoid disappointment.
Robin shares how her own entrepreneurial journey has impacted the future for her teens.
- It has helped them recognize that they are not limited to traditional careers.
- It’s important to help kids to identify if their personalities and strengths are a good match for the entrepreneurial life.
- It also offers you the challenge of making more income when you need it.
- She is able to help her kids identify what careers allow room for growth and a pivot as they grow and change as individuals.
Robin talks about the Lakeside Conference and offers some tips for planning your own business event.
- Lakeside summit is a two day event geared towards female entrepreneurs to help them fill a gap in their business and help them grow and network.
- It all grew out of a personal desire to have a local support network as an entrepreneur.
