I think that list never ends. Now, I really want to grow into this entrepreneur that I've actually been doing for the past 25 years. I've always been in this space, but actually focusing on my businesses and focusing on growing not only my brand, but different brands and working with different founders as a venture capitalist. But I think the very next thing on my list is just to be a good mom.
Serena Williams said when asked about her list of what she wants to accomplish.

Williams also shared an anecdote as an example of their conversations. She revealed how Olympia is left wondering about her mother’s popularity and how she was surprised to find out that her mother won a Grand Slam title while pregnant with her.

Yeah, Olympia's now at an age where she's like, ‘Listen, I am wondering, why are you so famous?’ She was like, ‘You're a great tennis player.’ And so I told her the other day that she actually was in my belly when I won a big tournament [the 2017 Australian Open] and she was surprised. She's at an age now where I can kind of open up to her a little bit more.
Serena Williams said to People Magazine.

Notably, Williams had recently shared an Instagram story where she had talked about Olympia asking questions about the country’s president when she was born. Williams had revealed that she was put in a fix when quizzed about the president in office during her birth (Serena’s) and ended up saying Barack Obama.
