The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Writing, editing, proofreading and finalising a 450-page book full of expert wisdom and factual information certainly came with its challenges. We learnt very quickly that we needed to have a lot of patience! We have overcome many delays and disappointments but didn’t let that waiver our commitment.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The pros are the flexibility of being able to work around the day-to-day constraints that motherhood and a busy family life brings. Knowing that we have created something so special and that we are proud of is definitely a buzz. The cons are that it can be endless hours and you take a huge gamble on investing in something without knowing how it will go. There is no such thing as being able to completely disconnect as a business owner, which does come with its disadvantages. You really have to love what you do and see the potential for success for it to all be worth it.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
Our dream would be that every pregnant woman has this resource. We truly believe that it gives an incredible head start. From conception right up until the sacred 4th trimester, we want women and their partners to feel informed and supported. We want to keep creating products that make the transition to motherhood a positive one.
