Meetings

How we’re different from other entrepreneurial groups:

The Business+Balance Austin Group is for self-employed mothers who are as passionate about creating profitable, meaningful businesses as they are about making their families a priority.

Why a group like this is important:

Being self-employed can be isolating at times. It's validating to talk to others who face the same challenges you do on a daily basis. The purpose of the group is to:

• facilitate support and community for self-employed moms who face similar challenges;
• share ideas, resources and strategies for balancing work and family; and
• provide networking, business development and entrepreneurial support.

Size: More than 300+ members

To join: all members must be self-employed parents (women only) and have children 18 or younger.

Meetings: Gatherings include roundtables, masterminds, workshops, happy hours and informal meet-ups. All meetings are member initiated and directed and are free of charge.
