Welcome to Raising Hustle, the unfiltered podcast for the moms who are building empires with babies on their hips and grits in their hearts. I'm your host, Mariel Fry, bookkeeper by trade, hustler by nature, and mama by choice. Around here we're raising kids, raising hell, and raising the bar. If you're tired of choosing between nap time and next level dreams, this is your space. Let's redefine what it means to have it all on our own damn terms. Hey hustlers and mamas, welcome back to Raising Hustle, the space where we blend the spit-up strategy and raise both babies and businesses with intention. I'm really excited about today's episode, which is off-script entrepreneurship without corporate rules. We're diving into what it really looks like to build a business that doesn't check every box, doesn't need a resume, and sure as heck doesn't follow the corporate rulebook. Whether you're still in your nine to five or have already leapt into full-time entrepreneurship, this episode is your permission slip to throw out the outdated script and create something that works for you. Some of the things I'm excited to talk about in this episode are redefining success on your own terms, why motherhood makes you more of a leader, not less, and building a business that honors your values, your energy, and your season of life. Because really, let's ditch the hustle culture for something way more meaningful: freedom, fulfillment, and flexibility. You don't need permission. I want to get into this because in corporate America, I always needed permission. I felt like I needed permission to go to the bathroom, permission for a day off, permission for a sick day, permission for a vacation. I hated to be told I needed permission to leave for the day. Or I had to be in at a certain time, otherwise I was going to be penalized. Because as an entrepreneur, you decide when you want to start and end your day. You decide when you want to work and when you don't want to work. And that's very similar to motherhood. And that's a little different because it's 24-7. However, it's a different mindset where you kind of go with the flow a little bit, like entrepreneurship. Because corporate is very, very routine. And there is so much permission around it to always have to ask for what you want. And in entrepreneurship, that is so not the case. You could do whatever the fuck you want. Because really, confident really grows through action, not approval. Because when we build businesses, right, we don't want to ask permission for anything. We're building a business that's aligned with who we are. And when we don't have to ask for permission or proving it, we can level up in such a greater way. So always asking for permission puts you in a certain mindset that you can't level up. And I want you to get out of the permission of that. And if you need a permission slip to start this, maybe that's what you need. Because the reality in owning a business, resumes are totally optional. But results, those aren't. Because the truth is, as an entrepreneur, I talk about this with my husband all the time. It's problems to solutions. Let's get into that. Problems to solutions. When you're an entrepreneur, nobody really cares about your credentials. If you're a la lawyer or a doctor, something along those lines, yes, you need credentials. You can't just be a lawyer, right? You don't know the laws, you don't know the legality. You need to take the bar, you need to study. Same with being an accountant, via CPA. You need to go to study and take these exams to be qualified as a CPA. And so I'm mindful of that. But when it comes to most business owners, it's really a problem to a solution. I know for my bookkeeping business, the problem is people have messy financials. They're really disorganized and they don't have their shit together. But my solution is I can help you with that. I'm on QuickBooks, I help you organize your finances, we connect your bank accounts, we streamline and we make things really clear so you can build a solid foundation to level up. And the bigger goal is to empower you as the business owner and to have for you as the business owner to have peace of mind. And that's what you care about. You don't care about my resume. You don't care about the companies I worked for. You care about the results that I can give you. Because if I can give you results before the 15th, if I'm able to ask you questions and to keep up with your books on a continue month-to-month basis, that's really all you care about. Because when you have a resume, it's very different when you work in corporate, because your resume is a reflection of your skills and your background and what you're capable of. Because the reality is, is as an entrepreneur, you need experience for both. You need experience in corporate America, but you also need experience and entrepreneurship. But when I say experience and entrepreneurship, your experience is the results that you can give and the relationships that you build. I know for me to build my business, I had to constantly hustle, quote unquote, initially to go out and build relationships. Cause I needed people to trust in me that I can give them the result that they wanted. Because people want to refer business to me and they want to make sure that it's vetted, they feel good, and that they're sending their person to a trusted person to get the shit done that they need. Very different mindset. Because I had to build a lot of credibility without corporate America. I didn't have references, right? Per se. When you're in corporate, you might have some references of old bosses. So when you go to a new job, they can call an old boss and say, hey, I'm calling in regards to Sally Smith. How was she at work? That's not the world of entrepreneurship. You're the way you build your business, especially as I'm going to say creative space, you're built based on the portfolio that you have. That's different. That's so different. If you're branding, you want to show off your logos that you've built. Or if you've done websites, you want to show the other websites you've done. If you're a photographer, you want to show all the content. You want to show all of those beautiful wedding photos or branding sessions that you've completed. And so I challenge you, especially in the beginning, maybe you had to do some free stuff or you had to give a discount. But that's to build your portfolio. So then once you level up and you have this beautiful content, you can charge more because you have more confidence. And so your resume is very different. Like my resume is I have all these clients and I know what I'm talking about and I know I'd have conversations. And so that is my credibility. Little bit different than the creative side, but still very similar. Because what I want to also talk about, right, is the right timeline. And I want to talk about corporate for a second because with corporate, you have to climb this ladder and you have these timelines. And you're trying to go from like a coordinator to a manager and a manager to a director and a director to a VP and a VP to a president. That can take you years and years and years and years and years. And for a lot of women, especially going into motherhood, I've noticed and I've read some statistics around this that a lot of leaders do not want to promote women between kind of 28 and 38 almost, because they think, well, they're going to start families and they're going to get married. And how much time should we invest in them if they're going to leave the company? And obviously now there's a lot of rules and regulations around this, but corporate America is very structured. And if you leave corporate America for a few years, it's very, very hard to get back in, quote unquote, depending what you do. It could be really challenging to leave your career and then try to go back five years later. So much has changed. Technology and systems and processes and structure is very different from when you started to when you go back. But the thing I want to talk about entrepreneurship is you can build your business however the hell you want. There is no ladder. When you're a business owner, you're the CEO always. Whether you're CEO now or in five years, you're always a CEO. You're always the leader. You're always the owner. That never, ever changes. And so with business, sometimes it can be really, really hard. They say most business owners, I think, quit after, I forgot the statistics, but it's like after one year and five years, it's like less and less people. Because if a business was so easy, wouldn't everybody want to do it and have the freedom and flexibility to make the money that they want? Don't you think? But it's a lot harder than what people show or portray, especially on social media. And so your breakthrough might happen in a year, two years, five years. I think it really depends on your passion and your grit to a certain point, but it also depends on your alignment and your energy. And it depends at how excited you are about it and how much you want to put into it. And just because you started a business and you stop doesn't mean you have to throw it all away. I've had a client recently who started a business, kind of went back to corporate, and he's like, I'm going to keep my business kind of open, but I'm not really going to use it. I'll go back to it in a few years. And that's okay. There are no rules in entrepreneurship because there's no resumes involved. You are just showing your credibility on what the problem to solution is to help someone. So it's a very, very different timeline on this. Because what I've learned, I initially had the intention to start my business for building a family. And so I had a little bit of a timeline on myself where I gave myself a year and a half to really build the business, build relationships, and to grow my business to be a certain way. And so what I have come to realize is motherhood did not delay my goals. It far exceeded my expectations. But more importantly, it gave me the fire in my belly to want to grow. And that's not everyone's cup of tea. I talk to plenty of moms who are in a season of life in their business where they kind of want to stay status quo for a while. And what I love about this, what I love, love, love about this perspective is you can have your business kind of be in a certain wave where you get a client or two or five or six, however, your business is modeled. And if you're making like especially certain recurring revenue and you want to stay put to that because you want more time with your kid in that season of life, that's amazing. Because as your kids get older, I what I've noticed is a lot of moms struggle to kind of find themselves again once their kids don't quote unquote need them as much. So then you think, well, what do you do? And what's nice about having your business is you can kind of work it the hours that you want to work it without having to sacrifice picking up your kid early from school or missing a recital or a graduation or PTA or field day or whatever it is, you can still be there and support them. You can still build something that feels right to you. And that is the beauty and the essence and the magic of entrepreneurship that I felt so aligned to. Because truthfully, the logic around corporate does not make sense. And not that I want to blame the patriarchy on this, but I 100% blame the patriarchy on this because it's very robotic and cold. It corporate has essentially made it so your, like especially for men, your hormones are 24 hours a day. So you can do the same thing over and over and over again, which is what corporate America is. You are on a hamster wheel doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. And the reality is for women, we are so much in our cycle, which is an average of, I think, 26 to 28 day cycle. And we have some weeks where I love the Instagram reel of this of like, I'm alive, I'm dead, and I'm back again, and I'm pissed or I'm happy. Because we go through cycles of when we feel really energized and excited, and then we feel really tired and ick. We're not made to continually do the same thing over and over and over again. We're part of a cycle where we have moments where we really work hard or we need the break. And it's listening to that energy and feeling aligned to that. And I think the truth is we want to align with that energy with other people as well. Because what I've learned in corporate and the way I've spoken to people networking is very different to how I do this entrepreneurially. Because when you're an entrepreneur, you can sell yourself however you want. And that is quite powerful. And I think introverts struggle slightly more with this, but it doesn't mean that they can't get business because they're networking and they're meeting people very differently than maybe extroverted people like myself. I know when I meet a bit more introverted people, they still do beautiful work and they're still great business owners, but they meet people in a different way. Like one of my friends who's an entrepreneur, she's a brilliant photographer. And she's a bit shy, but really sweet. And one of the things she does is retreats. And she talks about selling and kind of feeling uncomfortable. But obviously, as an entrepreneur, you have to sell. And so she has really found ways to align herself with selling. And one of the things that we've talked through by walking the dogs was if she does these retreats, right? And she photographs the retreat, she can do mini sessions with those people in the retreat and make extra money. And that feels good to her because she knows the people, she's intimate with them, she's connecting with them day to day for a week. And they may want a mini session to remember those moments. And that feels really good for her, you know? And but there's some people like myself where I don't mind walking into a room with a glass of wine and business cards in hand and just schmoozing and talking to people. I'm okay with that. But that's not everybody's cup of tea. Because the reality is when you own your own business, people buy from people. That's just how it works in this world. People buy from people. In corporate, you are working for a conglomerate and you're getting, and I won't want to say W2 is a conglomerate, it could be a small business as well. But you're getting a paycheck every two weeks. Maybe you get some benefits, or maybe they're selling you the 401k, or they're gonna pay off some of your college, or maybe IVF or maternity or whatever. But that's very different when you have a boss and you're working for a bigger firm. But when you are a business owner, you are buying from people. I love to support local business whenever I can, or go to some local coffee shops or local restaurants. I want to support people. And people support me, and I support others. So I put my money where my mouth is as much as I can. Because the reality is, is when you do sell yourself, it's very different than when you work for someone else. Because when you sell yourself as an entrepreneur, you want your authenticity to come through. And I think that's becoming more and more prevalent the more I read on social, especially with AI. People want to hear from you as a business owner. They want to hear your voice and what you think. And they want to know, like, you don't, as a business owner, too, you can ditch having to look so perfect and be so perfect. Like you can be a little more vulnerable. You can share a little bit more. And that's okay. That's like the beauty of entrepreneurship and how you build the connections and the relationships over time. Because what I love about being an entrepreneur is truly this flexibility. I love the flexibility. I think we are so used to routined. And I came from corporate for many years. So I understand structure and routine and looking at a watch all the time, getting to my train at a certain time and getting to my gym class at a certain time and getting to work at a certain time and going to an event at a certain time, constantly looking at a clock 24-7 all the time. But now I have built a life of true flexibility because I want to be home with my human. I want to be home with my kid. I want to be home to celebrate these milestones with him. But it doesn't mean I'm not sacrificing the hard work. I just want the freedom to be able to have a slow morning. That is something I love every day. I love the routine for me of going to the gym, but I love coming home. And if my son's awake, I take the dog and the baby and we go for a long walk in the morning. And then I can shower and just mosey on my day. That's beautiful to have that. And that's not everybody's beauty, but that's the beauty that I want. And that's the freedom I want. And that is why I'm so excited to wake up with my business every day, because I have the freedom for that. Because truthfully, I want to build a system around my life and not the other way around. A lot of people live to work, people don't work to live. And especially when you work in corporate, your time is so limited, even more. Because you probably have to send your kid to daycare, have a nanny come to your house at seven, eight in the morning. Then you have to go to work for nine. You're there all day. You leave at five, probably stuck in some traffic. So let's say you get home at six, your kids probably go to bed at seven. So you might get an hour or two a day with them. And then you're tired and you got to go to bed. And you do it all over again five days in a row. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all. If that is what you feel aligned and called to, you need to do that because you're going to feel so much better. But for those of us who are looking for something different or we're frustrated with the status quo, this is a beautiful life to have too. Because I'm able to make money. I'm able to be successful, but I'm able to do it on my own terms. And just because maybe I am not working 24-7, it doesn't mean I'm not on email. It doesn't mean I don't answer a phone. But it just means my life and my systems are very different than what they would be if I worked for someone else because I'm on my own time, not somebody else's, which is really important. So something I want to talk about that is not professional in the corporate workspace are emotions. Emotions, you have to hide that. I remember when I had jobs in corporate, I used to have to go to the bathroom and cry and hide. I didn't want anybody to see me crying because that was a threat of weakness. And we're supposed to mute ourselves and we're not supposed to talk or speak up. I remember asking for a raise once, and I literally almost shit my pants because I was so nervous to ask for this raise. I knew I deserved it. I knew I worked hard. And I remember even when I asked, my boss was cool with it. But then I had to write this whole summary and this whole letter as to like what I did to deserve it. And that's crazy. As a business owner, I don't need to do that. I can look at the data and the direction based on how I feel with my energy and my emotion. I can up my price if I need to, right? I can fire a client if I want to. I have full flexibility in my business and the autonomy around that. And I focus on what feels good for me because I'm allowed to have my emotions and be vulnerable. And one of the things I've changed and did a massive brand shift with MoxieMade was the branding and the software of my business to feel vulnerable and to feel feminine. Because I do get clients come to me terrified, especially women. They're vulnerable. They don't understand money and they're worried about finances and they're worried about how things look or feel. And I said, listen, I don't judge what you make and I don't judge what you spend. I'm just here to help you make sense of it. And I hold their hand and I really help them to feel confident and give them clarity and to feel good about their situation. And there's nothing wrong with that. I want to help people in that instance. And using my emotion and my feminine energy around that and bringing out the softer side of money and talking about something that feels really icky and scary and manly and so masculine and to bring a feminine energy and softer side around it has felt so perfect for me in every shape, way, and form that I feel it in my offers. I feel it with my clients, I feel it in my pricing. I feel so aligned to who I am and what I do. I know I'm in the right place at the right time in my life. That feels really good to me. Because truthfully, what I'm building, I hope to be generational. I hope maybe my son would take over my business, or if I have another kid, a future child. I hope they're inspired to want to start a business and that they can see that their mom was able to create a business, but they were also able to be at home and be present. And the reality is, is when you do that with corporate, not saying it's impossible. There's a lot of inspiration around that. But to be able for me to build something that I can be home is so much cooler and so much better for me personally. Because the truth is, your kids are watching you, whether you think they are or not. I know even my son at 10 months old currently is watching me. He's aware. He sees me, he knows, he knows who I am. And he's aware of what I'm doing. And I know as he gets older, he'll be more prevalent and he'll be more aware of what's going on. And I want to be that inspiration to him that you can do anything you set your mind to. Because the reality, too, and what I've seen in shifts about entrepreneurship more and more is that I grew up very much in like the corporate mindset of like you go to college, you get a job, and then you know, you hope for your 3% raise and your 401k and your benefits and all the good things. But there's no security in that anymore. The amount of layoffs and mergers and acquisitions that are going on, and you question the strength around that and the security around a job. It's not like my parents' generation where you stayed a job 30, 40 years and then retire. It doesn't exist. You bounce every two years, if not less. You don't stay loyal to a company because they're not loyal to you, unfortunately. And Ray, I want to be wrong. Prove me wrong. I bet there's plenty of companies out there that treat their employees right, but it also feels that there's a lot that aren't. And what I've learned in my business is that there is a lot of security. And I was nervous to tell my family about my business for a while. Not that I would feel that much shame. It's just not the thought process that I was brought up in. And I remember my husband explained to my dad early on at dinner one night. He goes, I don't think you understand her business as a bookkeeper. She could have 20 clients and lose one and she still has 19 clients. When you have a W-2 income and you lose that one income, you're screwed. And it really was this shift with my dad where he's like, You're the smartest one of them all. But it took a little bit of time to get to that point. And so I want to build this incredible legacy for my kids. Never know what's going to happen in the future. But nonetheless, even for this next generation in general, that like you really can do anything you set your mind to, and you can build something that makes you feel secure and happy. Because the reality is the burnout of corporate is so real. I remember around COVID a couple of years ago, I was so burnt out. I hated commuting. I hated the grind and the grit and the hustle and the true way of New York. I couldn't take it anymore. And the reality is this corporate culture just really, really loves burnout. They almost glorify it. And in entrepreneurship, we like to say we're busy. What are we busy doing? Are we more productive? Can we be more productive? Is that possible? I learned that from Shine She Eo, it's Sarah, who's the owner, and she's incredible. And I listened to her speak about busy versus productive. And I can tell you the difference between a busy day doing things, but feeling productive in my business. And that is a massive shift, right? About my energy and my alignment to my business. And one of the things I've realized energetically is if I'm burnt out, I'm tired and I'm going to rest. But the beauty of owning your business is I don't need permission for rest. And there was one day in particular when I first started, probably the first year of my business. I had three days in a row where it was like nonstop, like networking and referral partners and coffee and happy hours and lunch and whatever else I was doing. And I remember after the third day, I woke up sore, not sore from the gym. Like my body was tired. And I remember I worked a little, because right, as an entrepreneur, it's hard to not work a little. But I remember I just let my dog walk me. I said, go where you need, go where feels good to you. And we walked for probably an hour and a half. And I needed the sunshine and to get out of my house. Because when you burn out, especially in your own business, you need to rest. And I would say to any entrepreneur, especially a newer one, take the rest that you need seriously. It's not worth the burnout or the aggravation. Like taking one rest day will not kill you, right? I always say one salad won't make you skinny and one burger won't make you fat. So let's keep it real that one rest day is not going to ruin all the success that you are creating and that you have. If this is the permission slip to take the vacation or do the thing that you need, do it. I went on my honeymoon six months into my business. Yeah, it was a little scary, but I did it. Didn't stop me from gaining clients, didn't stop me from making money. It's probably the best thing I ever did. And that's okay. So something I also want to mention is the thing that I think put me off about corporate America and corporate culture is the way that they value but don't value mothers. I think they love the idea of mothers. They love the idea of maternity leave and supporting moms and all of these things. But deep down, they do it because they have to, not because they want to. I remember when Roe versus Wade overturned and they talked about, I saw on LinkedIn at least, different companies talking about how they support abortion. And I think that's great. I think I'm a true believer in pro-choice as a woman that women should be able to choose. I think at the end of the day, these decisions really need to be made by doctors, not the government. And this might be a controversial choice. And some of you might tune at me out and not listen to me anymore. But that's just how I feel and how I feel aligned. So that's just my truth. But the reality is, is the way corporate looks at this is they're so pro-abortion because they know if you don't have a kid, you can come back to work quicker. And so I think there is this idea that they want to support women being mothers, but they don't really want to support women being mothers. And that is a really low blow because now they're not going to pay for child care. You're not going to make a lot more money because you had a child. If anything, you might make less. And that's just pretty shitty if you want the truth. I think it's pretty shitty that women have to make the choice to have a child or work, but men don't make that choice as often. And so it feels very frustrating that you have to choose what you want your value to be in. It should be both. You shouldn't have to choose. But the truth is, working in corporate, you may have to make that choice depending on your circumstances. And not all of them is perfect. I'm just giving a general rule of thumb. But for me, as an entrepreneur, the kids are my fuel, my kids. I'm talking to you, mamas, who have multiple kids, but they really are the why and the fire and the belly to get you going. Because I think, as moms, I know for me as a mom, I questioned a lot about corporate and society as a culture and why we do what we do. And I've always felt rebellious around this for years. But being a mom has really solidified it to me that I can have my business and have my baby, that I can do both with a bit of paid support and paid village. And I shouldn't have to sacrifice either one because corporate won't make you sacrifice one for the other. And I think that's horrible, truthfully. But I really believe in my heart, and why I started this podcast is you can build a business around nap time. You can build a business doing the thing that you align with energetically, the thing that you're passionate about, the thing that you love. But you have to want it more than anybody else in the world. Even for me with my husband, he loves me and supports me, but I have to do the work myself. He's not a bookkeeper. He doesn't know anything about bookkeeping. He'll support me and love me, but he knows jack shit about this industry. And so you have to do it because you want to do it. Because in your hearts of hearts, the business that you want to build feels really good to you. And that's all that matters at the end of the day. Because really, you're kind of allowed to make it up as you go. I think the beauty of entrepreneurship, similar to motherhood, is the shift and the adapt and the flexibility and the change, right? I know so many entrepreneurs who have started a business and maybe they closed it or they shifted to something else or they offer something different. Or I knew someone who built websites and then now she wants to do more coaching and then she went into more motherhood. There's nothing wrong with that. I think as a business owner, you're allowed to shift, adapt, change, and do all these different things. And that is beautiful. It's a beautiful part of experimentation. It's kind of similar to motherhood in a way. You try things. With my son, I try different food with him all the time. He likes it, great. And if not, we try something else. Same with entrepreneurship. If you try a business and you hate it, try something else. I failed multiple businesses before I got to where I am. So, like I say, just because you see my success doesn't mean you know what my failures are. I've tried millions, no, I don't say millions, I've tried a few things and they didn't work. And so the experimentation around it led me to where I am today. And I hope that inspires you to try something new. Because you learn constantly as an entrepreneur. You are solving problems 24-7. Like you might solve your initial problem for your client, but you're constantly figuring out problems all the time. You figure the problems out in your business just as much as motherhood, and you're constantly trying to solve them all the time. But the most important thing I really want to share is when starting a business, trust yourself in the process, but don't be ashamed to feel guilt about pivoting. So many entrepreneurs pivot. I've pivoted multiple times, and that's okay because you have to do the thing that feels good to you. Like for me, my first, I'm gonna say whatever business, I it was during COVID, which was probably not a good time. I loved these earrings I got from Thailand, and they were a good price, and I thought I could resell them. And everyone's gonna love these earrings because I gave them to friends over the years and everyone was obsessed. So I bought a ton of earrings, tried to sell them, didn't do well. I am still today sitting with earrings, a lot of earrings. They're beautiful, but I have no one to sell them to. And that was an absolute flop. Then I tried another podcast called Travel Experiences Reimagined, which truthfully turned into a hobby, but I learned a lot about podcasting where I can launch Raising Hustle today. That truly taught me how to podcast, how to interview, how to start a podcast. And while it was frustrating that it didn't go anywhere, I learned a lot from that. And so what I encourage anyone listening to this who is thinking about starting a business, give yourself the grace to fail. I really believe in fail hard, fail fast, because then you can level up to do the thing you want to try and just try. With bookkeeping, it was a little bit of my last two-raw. Wasn't sure if I could do entrepreneurship after this, but it was literally the best decision of my life. And I would say with Chat GPT nowadays, find a problem that you want to solve and figure out the skills that you have to solve those problems to create a business. And that is the magic and the secret sauce for me, at least telling you that.
