It’s quite often that we overlook Ayesha Cury as a superstar NBA player’s wife. Well, a reminder, she is much more than that. Mother of four children, the successful entrepreneur has a “fifth child”, which is her multi-disciplinary brand, Sweet July. The brand which started as a friendly passion for vlogging slowly turned into a lifestyle brand that holds skin care, culinary, editorial, and content production company. Now, as a thriving entrepreneur, Ayesha dropped a valuable business lesson.

Sweet July isn’t the only business that the 35-year-old runs. She, alongside her husband, Stephen Curry, owns a restaurant named International Smoke in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Apart from that, the best-selling author also owned a luxury wine brand called Domaine Curry, co-founded with Steph’s sister, Sydel Curry-Lee, which was recently acquired by The Prisoner Wine Company. So, it’s safe to say that Mrs. Curry has seen ups and downs in her businesses.

And, why wouldn’t she be the right person to speak about dealing with failures? Recently, Ayesha Curry spoke at the Inc. 5000 Conference in Palm Desert, California. While she delivered important points on the stage, off the stage, Mrs. Curry delivered a crucial business tip, which is anger management. Ayesha said, ” I always give myself a day to be angry when something happens to get upset so that I can let it flow in and flow out. I feel like it’s fine. Give yourself a day but then move on.” 

The star entrepreneur didn’t stop at that, she also dropped her insights on how to deal with failures. Ayesha added, “The biggest challenge I faced when launching my first business was understanding that failure was going to happen, learning to accept that, and how to move on… You can always recover from the business’ small failures. it’s fine.” Above all, being a mother, she had special advice for entrepreneurs, who are also moms.

What’s Ayesha Curry’s advice for women entrepreneurs?

A few months ago, Ayesha delivered her fourth child Caius Chai Curry. Following her maternity period, she’s again back to the grind. Speaking from experience, the star entrepreneur said, “My advice for women, especially moms, who want to start their own businesses are to remember to take things day by day. A business is like having a new baby.”

She continued, “You will lose sleep, you will sometimes question what the heck you’re doing, but at the core, love what you’re doing. You love what you’ve built, and that the passion is always going to be there, and the reward is in all giggles and happy stuff and the successes that will come from it.” 

The 35-year-old business mogul compared running a business to raising a child. In a way, it completely makes sense. Nevertheless, with the fresh NBA season coming to action, fans can get a glimpse of her at Chase Center, sitting near the tunnel along with her kids. So, it’s that time of year. Where do you think the Warriors finish this year? Let us know.
