THURSDAY THOUGHTS - How Leading a Startup Compares to Parenting


Listen Later

In this episode of Thursday Thoughts, Monique reflects on her Linkedin post celebrating the recent accomplishments of her daughter. After posting the update, Monique was not only moved by the words of encouragement and praise that people left on the post but was reminded about how running a business or startup is in many ways like being a parent. 

This reminder encouraged Monique to remind listeners that despite how hard they work on their startup or innovation, so much of your business’s life cycle is out of your direct control. This reality makes it vital that business leaders remain flexible and agile while remaining open to trying new things and accepting new experiences.

Topics Include:

  • Parenting and Leadership Lessons
  • How Parenting Can Teach Us About Flexibility
  • The Importance of Trying New Things 
  • Remembering that Your Business is Always Growing Up
