Leading pregnancy and parenting website TheBump.com , interviewed actress, entrepreneur and celeb mom Jessica Alba about her jobs as a mother and an eco-friendly businesswoman and author.
Here’s some:
On not being perfect, and needing a hand every once in a while:
“We all want to do the best we can for our families, but we can’t be superheroes all the time while balancing everything we need to.”
Her advice for moms interested in starting a business:
“Surround yourself with experts in your field and learn from them. Ask plenty of questions!”
On being self-aware but strong when it comes to business:
“Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses, and build a team that complements your skill set. Stick to your guns. If someone can persuade you to depart from your idea, it’s a sign the business might not be the right fit for you.”
On realistically going green, and practicing sustainability:
“It’s about doing what you can and focusing on small, attainable steps that make the most sense for you and your family. With my daughter, Honor, I love to do arts and crafts where we really focus on upcycling items and giving them new life.”
