The rate of growth for women in business has jumped dramatically over the last 15 years. This rate of growth might be because the women set goals that they wanted to reach by the time they were 40 and most of those goals were met ahead of schedule. Women have taken an aggressive stance on being considered for positions of leadership and not being limited to just an area of administration in an office environment. The businesses that are owned by women have had a remarkable rate of success... more...

In our quest to make it on one income, in a two income world, stay at home moms have been bombarded with various work-at-home opportunities and thinly veiled scams. It can get quite frustrating trying to weed out the real opportunities from the ones that will cost you much time and even more money. Most legitimate work at home opportunities revolve around the direct selling or MLM industries. While both of these opportunities can be excellent sources of income, not every stay at home par... more...

Many parents dream of working from home so that they do not need to send their children to daycare. When a mother is able to work from home, she can spend more time with her children. When a child becomes sick or feeling slightly under the weather you are right there for them, to help them mend and feeling better. You do not need to venture out in bad weather to pick them up from your local daycare center, relatives or from your babysitter. When a child is eager to learn new things and devel... more...

If traditional marketing plans work so well how come more woman business owners don't make them? Because they're boring, that's why. I mean, really, creating a traditional marketing plan is about as exciting as picking lint off of a sweater. Hardly the stuff to feed and nourish inspiration! Plus, for the soul-inspired woman entrepreneur, a traditional marketing plan fails to capture the heart and spirit of our dreams and ambitions. So I've created ... more...

More and more moms are starting their own businesses at home and loving it. Today's technology makes it so easy to start a business, share ideas, and market/advertise a small business than ever dreamed possible just 20 years ago. We call these innovative women "mompreneurs" because they are moms working for themselves, and doing a darn good job at it. Why are moms choosing to work from home? Kids are the biggest factor. Working from home gives mompreneurs a chance to use thei... more...

These women have already been exposed to the battlefield and have reached a significant amount of recognition for the success of the businesses that they started.

As a male it is not easy writing about PMS. There are many females, especially those local to the Bay Area, that would say 'don't even try!' There are some that would say things like 'men have their own PMS and menopause'. And so on. But just because a topic is a difficult one does not mean that it should be avoided. And over the years I have seen PMS become a workplace issue. My thoughts and observations come strictly from a business perspective and not from a p... more...

Phew. I just got breakfast on the table for my preschooler and I can sit down at the computer for a minute. I can finally check my morning email. "Mom!" I run over to the kitchen. Cherrios are all over the floor and now I hear the baby waking up. Little does the customer know on the other end of the computer that this email will have to wait for an unforeseen amount of time today. Oh, the life of the work-at-home mom! Can you relate? Since being in business for myself, I've ... more...

I know you're busy, but indulge me for a minute and think back to your past. Think about the journey to where you are now. If you are like most professional women you entered your career with promises of professional fulfillment that would be rivaled only by your eventual success as a wife and mother. You were seduced by promises of "having it all." You were filled with hope, enthusiasm, and positive energy. Flash forward to where you are today. If you are like mor... more...

Marketing wisdom tells us that 80 percent of all household purchases are made by women, and no business owner can ignore them. Marketers of kids gear, food, cosmetics and clothes are good at reaching women, but women buy gender-neutral stuff too, like cars, auto services, technology and just about everything except Viagra. Yankelovich marketing consulting firm reports that 60 percent of women 16 and older are working. They comprise over half of all college students and about 38 percent of... more...

When the first generation of women entered the workforce in earnest in the 1970s, they succeeded in the only way they could by imitating men.

Other than any children that may be present, work at home moms are more susceptible to distractions than anyone else in the work force is.

That does not count the natural distractions of the children you are probably staying home to care for. Fortunately, there are many opportunities for work at home moms so that they can remain at home and care for their family w... more...

When I was growing up in metropolitan Washington, DC, I never once thought that my appearance would dictate my future as a doctor, lawyer or an Indian chief. In fact, I never thought that being a woman would affect my chances of entering any profession. I was a tomboy busy being a kid and thought the world I lived in would offer me all the options I would want. Not once did I consider I would one day be limited by the fact that I was a girl. As I grew up I often heard platitudes "Pret... more...

In todays economy, it is sometimes necessary to have a two family income. This can create problems in families where there has been a stay at home mom.

They have also shown that both working and stay at home moms can contribute equally to a childs development. Stress is a part of everyday life. However, for the working mom, it can be even more so. Moms rise and shine way before a... more...
