Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur for Moms: A Guide for Discovering What Business You Could Start

Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur for Moms (and dads and parents!)Managing life and career — it’s a challenge we all face. Now that you’re facing parenthood, maybe you’re thinking more about where you want to take your career. You’ve heard about moms who have their own businesses and you’re wondering if it would work for you. Maybe you’ve mulled over a few ideas or maybe you’re stumped. But how do you know if starting a business would work for you? How do you make sense of all the opportunities out there and find one that works for you? How do you put "mom" and "entrepreneur" together to become a mom entrepreneur?

You’ve probably heard about the hundreds of thousands of moms who run businesses from their homes — 45 percent of small- and mid-sized businesses have women owners. Perhaps you’ve read the profile of a successful "mom entrepreneur" in your local newspaper and wondered how you could start your own business. You’ve thought about the advantages of working from home, setting your own hours, being your own boss and having all the other perks that come with being self-employed. And you’re really excited about the prospect of starting your own business — and still having a family.

Well, you’re not alone. The number of self-employed women has shot up by 16 percent in the past 10 years. Women just like you are discovering how to run businesses — for anywhere from a few hours a week to a full-time basis.

Take me, for example. I’ve got a successful business — and two little boys. I’m doing so well that I regularly turn down recruiters who call to interview me for six-figure jobs. I do all my work while my kids sleep or attend a couple of hours of preschool. I don’t even work full-time hours, even though I turn away new clients all the time. I’m making money on my own terms — and you can too.
The secret of successful mom entrepreneurs…

Getting a business off the ground takes more than just hard work and determination. It takes passion! When you start a business that revolves around your passions, you’ll be happier, more enthusiastic and more successful. But how do you figure out what you’d love? What if you aren’t even sure what you’d like?
