Biography

Serial entrepreneur having built businesses valuated at more than $40 million with exits to both strategic and financial buyers. Co-Author of "Entrepreneur Like a Mother", the unapologetic, no bullshit read for every mom who wants to build a 7-figure business without having to choose between their kids and their career.

Passion

Absolutely love getting a DM, email or call from a woman who says "I finally did it, jumped off the corporate bridge and started my own business, could use some advice...."

Best Story

Sold two businesses in the same field with same growth and margins. One for 1x revenues and one for 4x revenues. So many rookie mistakes and money left on the table with the first business. Oh the things I learned!

Origin Story

My partner and I are two girls from the Midwest. The youngest in immigrant, patriarchal families. We got married in our late 20's, nine kids between us. Still see our mothers every day. Took turns at carpools, as room moms and obnoxious sideline cheerers at kids' sports games. You probably conjured up a picture of us already, right?

But here's the plot twist: we're also entrepreneurs. We chased not one big dream, but two - and they both paid off. We launched and sold two services for millions. Along the way we traveled the globe, mingled with fascinating blue-chip CEOs and survived some gut-wrenching, knuckle-biting boardroom moments where you could hear a pin drop after we gave our advice. And still (sometimes) made it home for Cub Scout meetings.

Every mom can be a successful entrepreneur. In fact, women are made for this job. Can we give you the playbook for building a seven figure business and a happy family?

Example Talks

Your Mom Skills Are Your Career Superpower" How to Leverage Crisis Management, Resource Optimization, and Stakeholder Negotiation for Executive Advancement

While your childless colleagues were getting MBAs, you were getting a PhD in Crisis Management. Every morning at 7 AM. For free. With no sleep.

You've negotiated with terrorists (also known as toddlers having meltdowns in Target). You've managed hostile takeovers (siblings fighting over the last Pop-Tart). You've handled supply chain disruptions (when you're out of goldfish crackers and someone's having a breakdown). You've mastered resource allocation under impossible constraints (feeding a family of five on whatever's left in the pantry after you forgot to grocery shop).

Beth Mazza will show you how to stop treating your mom experience like a career liability and start leveraging it as your secret weapon for executive advancement. She'll translate the operational mastery you've developed at home into the leadership competencies that get you promoted at work.

You'll learn how 'managing three kids having simultaneous meltdowns while dinner burns and the dog escapes' actually makes you more qualified for senior management than most of your peers. How to position your crisis management skills, stakeholder negotiation expertise, and resource optimization abilities as exactly what your company needs in their next VP.

Because while everyone else is learning leadership skills in conference rooms, you've been mastering them in real-time, under fire, with actual lives depending on your decisions. It's time your performance review reflected that.
