In this episode, I welcome Elle Ballard, founder of Women of the World Network, entrepreneur, mother, and grandmother. We dive into the evolving landscape of mom entrepreneurship, the rise of side gigs, and the mindset challenges many women face in business. Elle shares her journey of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the importance of embracing personal aspirations, and how she integrates dance and vitality into her work. We also discuss overcoming mom guilt, redefining success, and learning through failure. Tune in for an insightful conversation about freedom, fulfillment, and finding balance in the beautiful chaos of life.Elle’s earlier experience includes building a successful international career in leadership where she led the team on the oil and gas $3.2 billion crude oil system CPC project, as well as her marketing projects for software companies where she helped build brand equity and positioning to prepare for successful acquisition. Today, she is an accomplished author, speaker, and founder of a community of global women entrepreneurs representing women from 23 countries. With her goal of impacting 50,000 women in the next 5 years she guides busy women entrepreneurs in embracing all aspects of life…And yep, she is from Kazakhstan! And no, it’s not exactly like Borat—though might be fun to take a road trip in that cheese wagon of his!Connect with Elle:LInkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elleballard/IG: https://www.instagram.com/theelleballardYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elle-ballard Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theelleballard/www.alysialyons.comConnect with me:linktr.ee/coachalysialyons#WomenEntrepreneurs #MomLife #FindingBalance #MomGuilt #MindsetMatters #WorkingMomLife
