Hey PH community! 💡 I've noticed some striking similarities between my journey as a parent and as a founder. From mastering time management to constantly pivoting based on ever-changing needs, it seems parenthood has been an unexpected startup bootcamp. I'm curious - for the parent-founders in the community... How has your experience with kids influenced your startup strategies? Have you discovered any unexpected lessons or tactics that translated well from home to the boardroom? Let's dive deep and share our insights!

1️⃣ Time Management: Just as kids thrive on routine, startups need structured schedules. The efficiency I've mastered getting my kids ready in the morning? That translates into streamlined operations in my business. 2️⃣ Adaptability: Kids change their minds a lot. So do markets. Both require quick thinking, pivots, and staying two steps ahead. 3️⃣ Unwavering Motivation: On those hard days, it's the thought of my child's future that pushes me forward. As founders, identifying a personal 'why' can be the driving force behind success.
