Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais’s ‘Entrepreneur Like a MOTHER’ argues that building a company and raising a family don’t have to compete
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais spent more than a decade building consulting firms while raising nine children between them, then sold them to global acquirers. Mazza co-founded and sold Ashton Partners and Clermont Partners, both acquired by global consulting firms. Sivrais also co-founded Clermont Partners and sold it to Riveron. ‘Entrepreneur Like a MOTHER: Build a Company That Buys You Freedom, Not Owns Your Life’ is their account of the frameworks behind that work, published by Wiley on September 22, 2026.
The book argues that conventional advice treats entrepreneurship and motherhood as competing priorities and lays out the approach Mazza and Sivrais say allowed them to build and sell their own companies without giving up either. Drawing on decades of counseling Fortune 1000 CEOs and navigating major M&A and crisis situations, the authors challenge the idea that business success requires personal sacrifice.
The book’s “Power Moves” framework covers choosing the right business idea, making sound early financial decisions, building a minimum viable product, pivoting strategically, and scaling sustainably. A second framework, “Kitchen Cabinet,” focuses on assembling a trusted circle of advisors to reduce isolation and strengthen decision-making in a company’s early stages. Mazza and Sivrais also write about designing a business around family life while maintaining profitability, flexibility, and long-term growth, arguing that the two goals are not in conflict.
Beyond the two named frameworks, the book covers pricing, planning, and financial management fundamentals, along with what the authors call proven methods for breaking through revenue ceilings and building sustainable paths to wealth. These sections draw on real-world lessons from building, scaling, and selling multi-million-dollar companies and lay out a step-by-step path from business idea to revenue-generating venture for entrepreneurs balancing caregiving responsibilities.
Mazza and Sivrais are also co-founders of Female Mavericks, a platform that helps women build and scale businesses. They write for what they estimate are 15 to 20 million women in the U.S. between the ages of 30 and 50 who have unlaunched business ideas, as well as current small business owners struggling to scale beyond an early plateau.
‘Entrepreneur Like a MOTHER’ is available now from FemaleMavericks.com, Wiley, and Amazon.
