Stephanie Breedlove

Stephanie Breedlove, Co-Founder of Care.com HomePay, the nation’s leading household payroll and tax service joins Enterprise Radio to discuss why entrepreneurial success is a marathon, not a sprint.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Stephanie Breedlove discuss the following:

  • Please tell us a little about your story, specifically, how and why you decided to start your company and what did the process of starting a company look like for you?  What were your goals and execution strategies?
  • Starting a company successfully looks very different from scaling a company successfully. What were your priorities that created a successful launch, and how did those priorities have to shift to allow you to scale?
  • What are the core strategies that you feel all entrepreneurs should focus on to strengthen growth and value?  What milestones were achieved for your company as a result of focusing on these strategies?
  • You recently had a successful exit after a 20-year journey, selling your company for $55 million. What did the process look like, and what advice do you have for entrepreneurs on preparing and executing an exit?
  • You have a new book, All In: How Women Entrepreneurs Can Think Bigger, Build Sustainable Businesses, and Change the World.  How did you decide to write it, and what is the goal?
