Mama's Got An Exit Plan: Busy: From Preschools to Publishing Empires with Yobe Qiu
Description
What happens when a preschool teacher spots a gap in the market and decides to fill it herself? For Yobe Qiu, it led to a bestselling Lunar New Year book, a booming product line, and eventually, a tech platform transforming how authors connect with schools.
In this inspiring conversation, Yobe takes us from her early days owning multiple preschools to building and exiting businesses like a pro—plus the burnout, the breakthroughs, and the surprising lessons she learned along the way. You’ll hear how she:
Turned a single classroom need into a thriving children’s book business
Scaled with toys, puzzles, and plushes (and learned the hard way about manufacturing)
Built Book An Author, a platform bridging the gap between authors and institutions
Decides when it’s time to sell a business—and how to do it well
Stays true to her passion while navigating the messy middle of entrepreneurship
Whether you’re dreaming of your first business or thinking about your exit strategy, this episode is your permission slip to build boldly, pivot wisely, and keep going—especially on the days you want to quit.
