So you have some ideas about what you might do as a mompreneur. You’ve explored some dreams and maybe even verbalized a deep desire of your heart. But the lingering question about money still looms over you, how much money will you really make?

Let’s be honest…there is a minimum that you need make in order for your family to stay afloat. But how much?

Ok. Let’s just jump right into what is likely one of the biggest questions holding you back from transitioning into the life of a mompreneur: What kind of work would you do? Though hidden within this question is another, probably more important, question...

The Traditional Definition of a “Stay-At-Home” Mom is long gone. Here’s what’s Replaced It…

The Traditional Definition of a “Stay-At-Home” Mom is long gone. Here’s what’s Replaced It…

“The traditional definition of a ‘stay-at-home’ mom, an old school homemaker, is long gone…and in today's economy, where so many of us are piecing together side hustles and various freelance opportunities to stay afloat, it turns out that staying at home has become a gig all on its own.” - Laura Vanderkam

According to a study done by redbookmag.com, 62% of the self-identified “stay-at-home” moms surveyed indicate they contribute to the household income, 34% work an average of 4.5 hours a day and 25% run a business from home. “Stay-at-home” moms aren’t just caring for their kids they’re caretaking and working!

Being a Work-From-Home-Parent: It’s Possible and Worth It!

You long to spend your days with your children and the normal 9 – 5 job just doesn’t fulfill you anymore.  You’ve recently realized that the best way for you to serve your kids, your family and your new priorities is to be home, at least part time.

It is at this point you begin to ponder something new, something you’ve never seriously considered…

Ditch the New Year's Resolution and be Guided by a Single Word

Ditch the New Year's Resolution and be Guided by a Single Word

According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, 58% of Americans tend to make New Years Resolutions each year but only 9.2% feel like they are successful in achieving them. They also say that people who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don't explicitly make resolutions. This is an astonishing number! It seems as though we know there is something important about setting goals but we lack the tools to carry it out.

So, I have a proposal…what if you ended this unattainable cycle of failed resolutions and instead picked just one word? One word to carry you through your year.
