Momprenuers - The Big Why

For those of you not aware...moms are now building businesses at an amazing rate. Some are small ventures, others are large, but one thing is for sure...moms are becoming more creative and more determined to work for themselves.

Though it's next to impossible to find statistics to measure the economic impact, we know that more people than ever are working from home. (US Census). And we know that 75% of moms work. (US Bureau of Labor Statistics). And we know that Mommy Bloggers are one of the largest growing social networks on the net And truthfully, moms have some secrets that will give them an edge in the entrepreneurial world.

Being a parent creates a bond that is unparalleled. What previously might have been just a desire to have a more flexible schedule, is now magnified x 10 when spending time with your child is involved.
If you are a stay at home mom, you have already made the decision to take yourself out of the traditional workforce. Many would-be entrepreneurs are stuck at this space, afraid of the change and the uncertainty.
Moms have to be creative problem-solvers all day, every day.
They have to respond quickly, make assessments and decisions in a timely and effective way.
Moms are willing to try many things, new things, seemingly silly things, in order to afford their family income and be with their kiddos. Check out these moms who came up withBoogie Wipes..I mean, who but a mom would develop a product and name it that? And they are laughing all the way to the bank with an expected $9 million in sales this year. ONE PRODUCT, that is all their company makes.
Moms have always known that collaboration and community is the key to power and success. That is why this group is one of the most powerful purchasing niches out there today.
Finally, moms are determined to succeed. Obviously, there is a lot at stake when you are caring for a child. Failure is not an option. And moms are not afraid to research, ask questions, seek support when they need it.

If you are a mom looking to become a mompreneur or even a WAHM (work at home mom), you are in an awesome position to earn income and create a schedule that allows you to spend time with your family. You (and me) just happen to be in the right place at the right time to build a movement that will likely change the face of the American workforce.

We have always known that moms could have it all...we just haven't had all of the tools we needed for that to work for all moms with the advent of the Internet, and more specifically social media there is no real need to "go" to work or to leave the house to find support. All kinds of resources are there for you with a click of the mouse. Go forth, mompreneurs, and start your businesses!
