Wing It Like a Mother: How to Build Your Business While You’re in Mid-Flight

Listen on Apple. Listen on Spotify. Listen on YouTube.



Welcome to Business Like a Mother! The podcast for ambitious moms who are navigating the dual worlds of business and motherhood with grit, creativity, and heart. I’m your host, Jen Morris, founder of Renegade Motherhood. Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite metaphors for entrepreneurship and motherhood: building the plane in the air.


In this episode: It’s not just about getting started—it’s about launching, learning, pivoting when needed, and finding joy, purpose, and alignment in your business amidst all the chaos. I’m sharing personal stories about my experience with improvisation, failure, and embracing who I truly am as an entrepreneur. Plus, I’m challenging you to stop waiting for perfection and start building your business with confidence, even before you feel 100% ready.


Summary:


  • Building the Plane in the Air – Learn why you don’t need everything figured out to start. Just take the leap and build as you go.


  • Personal Story – From hosting a local arts gala to realizing I was miscast in my own entrepreneurial journey, I share how I shifted from playing small to embracing my true calling.


  • The Power of Imperfection – I talk about the importance of trusting yourself, embracing failure, and how improvisation in both business and life can lead to greater alignment.


  • Start Before You’re Ready – If you're waiting for everything to be perfect, you're holding yourself back. I share why starting small and tweaking along the way is key to growth.


  • Find Your Community – How finding the right support system and a community of like-minded people is critical for success.


Key Takeaways:


  • Don’t wait for the perfect moment. You can build your business in real-time as you learn and grow.


  • Trust yourself. It’s okay to pivot when something doesn’t feel aligned. Entrepreneurship is about experimenting and finding what works for you.


  • Community is everything. Surround yourself with people who support you and help you grow.


  • You don’t need to have it all figured out. Building your business doesn’t require a perfect blueprint, just the courage to take that first step.


Stop Playing Small: Don’t let fear hold you back. Whether it’s a bold new business idea or a change in direction, bet on yourself and make the leap. Perfection is overrated.


Find Your People: You can’t do it all alone. Find a community that gets you and will help lift you up as you navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.


Are you ready to fly? Think about one step you can take today to bring your idea to life, whether it’s starting a conversation, creating content, or simply journaling. It’s time to stop waiting and start building your plane in the air.
