Entrepreneur Like a Mother" Jumps to No. 13 on Best-Selling Books List

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The book, which launched on September 22, saw a remarkable rise of 132 spots in just one week, reflecting a growing interest in its unique business model.

The authors attribute the book's rapid ascent to the gap in the business world that they aim to address. According to Mazza and Sivrais, 92 percent of women dream of being their own boss, yet only 11 percent actually take the step to become entrepreneurs. "Entrepreneur Like a Mother" is designed to help women, particularly mothers, navigate the challenges of starting a business on their own terms.

Drawing on their extensive experience, Mazza and Sivrais share insights on the funding gap, the motherhood penalty, the corporate ceiling, the visibility gap, and the guilt tax. These issues are critical for women entrepreneurs, as they face unique challenges that can hinder their success. For instance, female founders receive less than 2 percent of all venture capital and only 16 percent of small business loan dollars. In 2022, mothers earned an average of 63 cents for every dollar fathers made, highlighting the wage gap. Additionally, women hold only 14 percent of C-suite roles in S&P 500 companies, and at the current pace, it will take until 2072 for women to reflect their share of the U.S. population in senior leadership positions.

The book offers a solution to these challenges through five Power Moves that guide readers from idea to scalable business. These include prioritizing the right idea over a passion project, building a "Kitchen Cabinet" of champions and connectors, making the money moves that matter, starting before you're ready, and respecting the pivot. The authors' Mompreneur Mayhem Matrix, known as the "Triple M," helps readers choose a business model that fits their family, not the other way around.

"Entrepreneur Like a Mother" is now available in hardcover and ebook formats from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the Female Mavericks website. Readers can get 20 percent off with the code MAVERICK20 and gain free access to the companion course and workbook. Mazza, a two-time entrepreneur and mother of four, has founded, built, and sold two strategic advisory firms, including Ashton Partners. Sivrais, the mother of five, left corporate life early for consulting and has built and sold Clermont Partners, earning acclaim for guiding S&P 500 leaders through high-stakes decisions.

The book's success reflects a growing recognition of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs, particularly mothers. As Mazza and Sivrais note, "We're done waiting for them to." Women don't need to act more like men to succeed; their lives, the carpools, the chaos, and the constant pivots are exactly what make them sharper founders. This book shows women how to turn these aspects of their lives into a company that buys them freedom instead of owning their lives.
