9 Kids, 2 Business Exits, Nearly $50M: How to Entrepreneur Like a Mother: Beth Mazza & Victoria Sivrais

Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais built and sold two successful consulting firms with a combined enterprise value approaching $50 million. They did it without venture capital, while raising nine children between them. In this episode of #thePOZcast, Beth and Victoria challenge the idea that founders must choose between building a meaningful business and being present for their families. They share the unconventional path that helped them grow, delegate, manage cash flow, compete for major clients, and eventually exit their companies on their own terms. We dig into their “third way” of entrepreneurship, which exists outside the traditional choice between staying in corporate America and chasing hypergrowth at any cost. They also explain their Mompreneur Mayhem Matrix, a framework for evaluating business opportunities based on both financial return and the disruption they create in your life. Beth and Victoria get honest about doing invoices at midnight, nearly running out of cash despite generating $1.5 million in revenue, taking a credit card advance to make payroll, and learning to build systems that could operate without them. This conversation is about much more than motherhood. It is about defining success before someone else defines it for you. Check out their book "Entrepreneur Like a Mother."
