Channeling My Inner Mompreneur

Learning how to Work Smart, Not Hard

7 days, and 0 hours until blast off. It’s a rare day that I shamelessly promote something, but I took it as a sign that it was ok to do when I sat down to write this blog EXACTLY 7 days and zero minutes to the launch date of our Mompreneur tele-summit, aptly named momtomompreneurnow.  So sue me, but I’m going to hold that when someone puts so much blood sweat and tears, not to mention more than a few sleepless nights into a project, that they have a right to squawk a bit about it.

I’m jazzed, yeah, passionate, and focused like a laser beam on pulling off a successful event, which is proving to be more work than any other project that I can remember creating, but here’s what I’m realizing: by producing this event, I’m a living example of why it is necessary, and proof that I’m doing the right thing. No time like the present!

Fragmented time, always an issue, is being tested more than ever, and constantly: being there for my daughters foray into high school, and being present at her field hockey games…how????? Most of them are at 4:30 mid week. Laundry piles both dirty, and clean waiting to be folded sit untouched. Take out dinners have graced our table more than I’d like to admit these past few weeks. I’m not complaining…I’m just constantly testing the limits of my abilities, given the 24 hour clock that refuses to stop ticking. A clone would help, or a nanny, a few employees.

Barring that….

I’ve been juggling these things for years, as have most mothers I know, single or not, so you know what? I know in my heart of hearts that producing an event to help mothers like me ( and some dad’s I’m starting to see sign up) learn how to work smart, not hard…. is a gift. I’ve watched several of the guest experts we’re bring on grow their businesses to 6 and 7 figures, most of them, with children in tow. So why not spread the love. They all are offering their time so generously, are so inspirational, and are there to share their tips on how they managed to grow their own businesses, the mistakes they made along the way, and they are giving back.  And I’ve got some tip[s of my own, for all of you bloggers out there.

We gotta stick together, us moms trying to juggle it all- making real money growing our businesses and not forfeiting our time with our kids. We need to support each other and raise awareness on what tools , tips and programs are out there to help us. More and more, these tools are available both online and off---especially on.

I am so ready both to share and to learn. So call me shameless.

Free sneak peek next Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 1:00 PM EST. Be there or be square!

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.
