🤔 I get asked a lot, "How do you make the founder and mum thing work?". One of the most important secrets to success: I'm maniacal about boundaries and write them down. For example, I have sacred time with my co-founder. I need to work some mornings between 8-9a to get precious overlap with my US-based co-founder. We may as well not be in business if we can't connect (and she's sacrificing time at night and on Sundays). This time is off-limits to my family. Another: I honor commitments to my kids. So when I discovered that the Founder Offsite I was invited to by our investor Blackbird coincided with canteen duty at Hatch's school...it was a no-brainer! I'll show up to the offsite late. This doesn't make turning my kids away or missing most of an offsite easy. But it creates consistency and clear expectations. Hugs and luck to my fellow parent-founders!

Another blessing for me being in this business is that I'm not growing alone, but I'm growing together with the best people I've ever known. We are here to share opportunity, We are here to share fun, We are here to share same energy, To grow together!!! #blessgrowfamily #wegrowcommunity #successtogehter #businessinsurance

That time I met Gary Vaynerchuk… (story continued after this PSA!) 🚨 5-second ask! Diversability is in the Top 10 (of 4,500 small businesses) to win $60k in a public vote. If you already voted, you can vote again today (you can vote once per day through April 19)! https://lnkd.in/gJP4Xpg4 🚨 Earlier this week, I got to attend Arlan Hamilton’s Your First Million Live, thanks to being a part of the Backstage Capital Catalyst Program to learn more about venture capital and investing. Gary Vee shared so many insights around the importance of humility and kindness, social media as a meritocracy (these platforms are free!), and branding and attention — but his garage sale flips are what I originally connected with. I have so many memories of going to garage sales with my dad as a kid before he passed away when I was 9. One of the best lessons I learned from my dad was to see the value in everything, and I’ve brought that to how I see and want to build up the disability community. We are valuable simply because we exist. And many years later, in the early days of relaunching Diversability®, while it started as a side hustle, I found some creative ways to make some extra money to see if I could make this “entrepreneurship thing” work. I sold jewelry through a direct sales company. I used Airbnb to rent out my apartment. I’d flip furniture I got on Craigslist. I had a corner of my apartment with the furniture, and my mom asked me to stop doing that 🤷🏻♀️ These are risks that not everyone can take (acknowledging my own privilege here), which is why once Diversability® started making some money, we reinvested it in back into our community by hiring disabled people, paying disabled speakers, and curating paid and visibility opportunities for our disabled community members. So back to meeting Gary Vee. I didn’t say any of this when I saw him, and we had a good laugh when I mentioned that we had a mutual friend named Gary Vee because I forgot what to say 🤣 #DisabilityInclusion #SmallBusiness #SideHustle #GaryVee #GaryVaynerchuk #VeeFriends Image descriptions: a photo of Gary Vee and Tiffany laughing together in front of the black Your First Million Live step and repeat.
