It may just where I am in my life, or the people I am associated with these days, but I know a lot of Mompreneurs. This morning I saw the creator of The Mompreneur magazine on BT, and I was reminded of what an amazing trend this is. Think about it. Women, most of whom had full time careers before they had children, have now decided that instead of going back to a position with a steady paycheck and predictable hours, they will take the second biggest risk of their lives, right after the first! Are we crazy!!??!!
I can only answer for myself. Becoming a Mompreneur was a choice for me that came from many directions. It was about flexibility, doing something I loved, and being available for my children. I have said those things before. And I could have found those things elsewhere. Mostly, becoming a Mompreneur was about showing my children that anything is possible if you work hard, commit to it, and get right back up after you fall. And maybe proving that to myself, as well.
This weekend there is a Mompreneur show at the Blackfoot Inn. Its free, so go and check out the ingenuity and creativity of these savvy business women. I guarantee you will find more than one product or service that will make you say "Why didn't anyone do this sooner?" And you will be supporting your local Mompreneurs.

I remember going to that last year with you, and you're right - there were so many great businesses on show! Did you have a set-up again this year?
