A Mom Entrepreneur
and Her Dreams of Business Ownership!

A mom entrepreneur?! Why today?

"...more moms are making kids their business.."
Tamara Holmes, "Franchising The Family", Working Mother, April 2008, page 46

"...many women report that they often need to take matters into their own hands...in some cases, quitting office life and starting their own businesses..."
Kimberly Palmer, "The New Mommy Track, More mothers win flextime at work, and hubbies' help(really!) at home", US News and World Report

In the US News article Kimberly Palmer mentions that "...a growing number of mothers are deciding that starting their own business is the answer..."

"Firms owned by women have been growing at twice the rate of all companies for the past two decades"
Juanita Weaver, Director of Media and Strategic Alliances
Center for Women's Business Research, Washington, DC
Tamara Holmes, "Franchising The Family", Working Mother, April 2008, page 48

In fact mothers who launch their own businesses are now known as "mompreneurs".

A mompreneur is someone who expects flexiblity in her work and more participation by fathers in child raising. She expects a balanced and full life. She expects to spend more work time at home. She wants to make a difference in life while spending quality time with her family.

"I may never really find balance, but I'm comfortable with who I am and what I do...And I have quit feeling guilty that I'm a mom first"
Sarah Stevens
Founder: Stevens Technologies, Inc.
