The Notes

• In search of a different work-life balance, Sherry quit her job and jumped into entrepreneurship with both feet. She emailed her ideal clients and asked them what services they would be most interested in based on her skill sets, and the pieces fell into place one by one. Because she grew up with strong entrepreneurial role models, she knew that she could pursue a path of self-employment and gain the balance she wanted for her family, without sacrificing their income and quality of life.

• By being clear with her family regarding whether she is in “business mode” or “mommy mode” it helps Sherry ensure that both her business and her family are getting the full-attention they deserve.

• Sherry describes how she wrote her first book based partially on an autobiography and partially on the interviews she had conducted of a variety of other mothers. The book really takes a holistic approach at the importance of caring for ourselves and becoming confident mothers. She focuses very much on women who have taken a maternity leave and are returning to the workforce (whether self-employed, or not) with less confidence than they had before.
• Sherry explores some of the differences between men and women when it comes to how we display and perceive confidence. Ultimately, it’s important that we both accept and value the differences and not worry about how others are perceiving us, but rather constantly strive to be the best version of ourselves.

• Running, and specifically marathon running, is Sherry’s escape. Another perk of pursuing entrepreneurship was being able to schedule more time for training, as she aims to run one marathon per year. Running really helps her clear her mind and tend to both mental and physical wellness. Having an “escape” and focusing on self-care allows us to increase creativity and productivity, while reducing stress.
