Being a Mompreneur for me is like a dream come true. My daughter and I get to enjoy new stages in our lives together. When I attend meetings I get all kinds of comments from employees who are working full-time while their children are with someone else. In fact one woman started crying just watching me nurse during a high level roundtable discussion. I chose the career that would work well for our family based on watching clients who've made choices they now regret. So I don't ask permission to be a mom and only go where we are invited. This is reflected in my choice of speaking venues that bow to parents needs. Have there been mishaps along the way?
I choose meeting sites where we can combine my business and hers. One time I was meeting the audio engineer in a children's museum and forgot to take my daughter to the potty first. So when she pee peed right in front of us I was so embarrassed that I grabbed her up running to the restroom to handle our business. When I got back the man was gone. When I called him I found out that in my haste i had gotten urine on him and his computer. Needless to say we only meet by phone and email now. On the other hand the last time I was on Fox the associate producer watched my daughter while I did the segmnet and kept saying how well mannered she was. She's been doing this with her mom since she was about 2-weeks old. My publicists keeps reminding me how powerful it will be for her to grow up learning first hand how to be a Mompreneur from her own mom. I now choose to work with people who either like or can tolerate this Mompreneur and her daugher. I also make sure we go potty before our meetings start too. The power of parental choice has changed my clients lives and in watching them has done wonders for my own family too!
There's a fearless parent in all of us. Seen yours lately?
