In this episode of The Thriving Mompreneur, Liz chats with Tina Beliveau, founder of a successful real estate group in Lutherville, about navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship while raising young children.
Tina shares her journey from starting in real estate at 20, weathering market crashes, building and leading a team, to creating a virtual business that allows her to prioritize family without sacrificing professional success. This conversation is full of insights on balancing ambition with motherhood, the power of authenticity, and building meaningful connections in business.
Key Takeaways
Authenticity is your superpower: Being honest about struggles and successes attracts the right connections and builds trust in your business.
Build before kids: Establishing a stable business infrastructure early allows more flexibility and freedom once kids are in the mix.
Leverage your network: Taking small, calculated risks to reach out and connect with others can open doors to new opportunities.
Balance ambition and family: Prioritizing what matters most each day helps navigate the tension between professional and personal life.
Mindset matters: Developing tools like therapy, recovery lessons, or coaching can help manage the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship.
