Today we celebrate the greatest women of our lives, our mothers. Happy Mother's Day to everyone and I hope we can all take the time to appreciate the things that our moms have provided us. And as a tribute to all our mothers, we will be discussing MomPreneurs.
Well the day and age has finally come where boundaries between men and women has finally come crashing down. Women are free to pursue their careers, they enter the corporate world and give the guys a run for their money. They're out to prove who is the better sex and in my opinion, the women are the better sex. hahaha
There are more moms who are venturing out into doing business because 1. prices are getting higher and the husband's salary stays the same or is getting smaller. 2. monthly child care and expenses and 3. I think their getting bored of just cleaning after the kids hahahaha
according to Ellen H. Parlapiano and Patricia Cobe, the authors of MompreneursOnline.com, Running a business is a lot like raising a family. You have to be well organized, disciplined, nurturing, good at relationship building, and able to shift gears quickly. And these are skills that mothers use everyday—which is why moms make such great entrepreneurs. But these skills alone are not enough to bring in a successful business.
Here is an article about 10 steps to starting up and it covers more or less the basics for a starting mompreneur.
again to all the moms out there in the world. Your children loves you (even if we sometimes forget to show it). Happy mother's day

You’re right. As comforting and convenient as it is to work from home, it sure can be daunting. Your tips sound like perfect advice for someone having trouble with this issue. Being your own boss and setting rules for yourself can be tough, but if you want to get things done (and done right) you have to be disciplined about your work ethic! It was tough for me, but with a regimented schedule, you can really get a lot done in less time than you think. I even set up my own business website and taken my business online with Microsoft’s new Office Live Small Business. Have you heard of it? It has everything a mompreneur could ever need to create and maintain a successful online business. It has a great website layout designer that requires no HTML experience (for the less web savvy) and a highly organized e-mail system that even checks the status of sent messages. You can consolidate your invoices and look at reports of day-to-day traffic on your site.
There’s plenty more information at http://smallbusiness.officelive.com
Oh and I forgot to mention that Microsoft not only hosts everything on your website free of charge, you even get a customized “.com” domain name! It’s a really cost-effective and easy way to bring any mompreneur business up and running on the internet. Please check it out, and if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me! I work with Microsoft and would be more than happy to answer any questions you or your readers may have. Again, thanks for the great read. I’ll be checking in on your future posts!
Best,
Kimberly
