How to Prepare for Maternity Leave When You Own a Small Business

Jane Hamill | Podcast

Does being an entrepreneur mean you never get to take time off?

Sometimes it feels that way...

• Who's gonna do the work while I'm away?
• How would my business even run without me?
• Will everything just STOP if I'm not there?
• There's no one I trust to handle things...

Our brains can spin with all the reasons we shouldn't or can't take time away. These reasons seem logical but like so many "crazy brain" entrepreneurial thoughts, it's all B.S.

I'm so excited for this episode because what my guest teaches us today will change your life. Not kidding.

You will be a better entrepreneur if you listen and implement even half of what you learn from this episode. You'll be more focused, organized, thoughtful, and calm.

Erika Neumayer is the owner of Rare Dirndl, a Chicago-based company that designs and sells a very niche product - dirndls. A dirndl is what you wear to Oktoberfest and what the St. Pauli Girl wears - only Erika's are bad-ass versions of the traditional dress.

Today we discuss taking extended time off, whether it's due to maternity leave, the adoption of a child, a sick family member, a trek through the Himalayas, or a month on the beach in Ibiza. Erika's advice and insights in this episode on how she prepared for maternity leave are brilliant. Erika is organized and focused like no other entrepreneur I've ever worked with. I've re-listened to this episode 3 times already and I wish I could be more like her. The colored pen circling system Erika reveals is INSANELY awesome. And she gives us her full notes to download.

Don't miss this one because you will learn some serious tricks to getting your shizzle done - whether you're taking a leave or not, you need this info.
