What’s In This Episode:

When life gives you lemons, what do YOU do with them?

Pat Day-McCray learned how to make the sweetest lemonade. She's a successful entrepreneur who went through the hardest of hardships after experiencing the loss of her child. Her big business blunder? Figuring out how to tell the world about it.

What’s In This Episode:

Do you have too much work to do? Too busy to plan a vacation or even a staycation? Too complicated to coordinate days off or to figure it out with your kids’ crazy schedules?

Excuses, excuses. It’s time to stop overlooking the best remedy for all your work woes. We’re not built to work and worry 24/7, so why not finally do something about it?

Jill Salzman turns the mundane into inspiration and transforms the impossible into the achievable. Through defying expectations and breaking the rules, she succeeds in inspiring entrepreneurs to figure out what works for them by using meaningful action to create positive results. Jill is the author of The Best Business Book In The World* (according to my mom) and the Amazon best-seller, Found It: A Field Guide for Mom Entrepreneurs. She’s shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She hosts the top-rated entertaining business podcast, Why Are We Shouting?, a question she asks herself daily. CNNMoney calls her a “mommy mogul.” MSN Live says she’s a “Cool Mom Entrepreneur We Love.” Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer and voted The Founding Moms one of the Top 10 Websites For Entrepreneurs. When she's not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or podcasting from her basement, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.

Why do companies agree to pay us and then try to back out of it when it’s too late?

Small businesses are taken advantage of all the time. There’s a whole host of reasons that companies decide they don’t need to pony up and the loss falls squarely onto YOU...the entrepreneur that has more to lose than they do. It’s unfair, uncalled for, and something that we may have more power in undoing than we realize.
