Entrepreneur Mom Shares Tips for Women in Business Who Have Children
United States of America (Press Release) May 5, 2008 --
Martinsburg, WV –May 5, 2008 –Take a couple of kids at home, add a mom with little business experience, and combine them with a mother's desire to launch a new business. What do you have? You have the ingredients for potential entrepreneurial failure.
This is exactly the prospect many moms face every day. "Opening a new business isn't easy to do," says Yvette Mason, owner of Beyond The Candle (www.BeyondTheCandle.com), a home based business marketing Mia Bella Gourmet Candles and other fine gourmet products. "But women are becoming entrepreneurs at twice the rate of their male counterparts. They want to nurture a business along with nurturing their children.”
Mason is an entrepreneur who works at home. She has 2 children. “It wasn’t so long ago that the idea of a mom working at home and raising children seemed far-fetched. That’s why every day is Mother’s Day – because we should be celebrating all entrepreneur moms’ achievements."
According to Mason, entrepreneur moms can have success both with raising their kids and bringing home the bacon, but it takes dedication and hard work. “It can be the closest thing to the best of both worlds,” she says. “However, there are several things moms who want to start a business should remember.”
Mason offers some tips, in honor of Mother’s Day, to help moms in business:
You already have the skills. “When you’re a mom, you already have the skills needed to run a business,” says Mason. “After all, raising kids takes stamina, dedication, organization, and love. It’s exactly the same skills needed for running a business.”
Have a plan. “Whether you work inside or outside the home, you need time to get the job done – without the kids around. That means you will need to plan for some sort of childcare so you will have time to take care of business,” she says. Mason also suggests working within your kids’ schedules by utilizing naptimes and when they are in school.
Find support. “It’s not easy to try to do it all. So don’t,” Mason says. “What you need is to find someone to help. It could be your partner, hiring someone to do the things you can’t get done or don’t have talent to take on, or finding like-minded moms online just to vent and chat with.”
Mason says no mom should try for the perfect work-life balance. “There’s no such thing. Just do what needs to be done the best way you can,” she explains. “Dishes still in the sink? So what. Laundry still needs to be folded? Big deal. What’s important is to keep yourself and your children happy. And if that means starting your own business, I say go for it.”
