Business Warriors of a Different Type

Welcome back!

 Marie Ynami is an outstanding mother and business woman that I’ve come to know in the virtual sense through a very unique online business community.  She manages a business where she shares information and tips of interest to moms who work at home. 

Today I’m going to respond to Marie’s “meme” (blog game) to toot my horn about something I’ve managed to do that I’d like to share in a celebratory way     I had a goal to launch my writing business this year and I did it – SharonWrites.com.  But what I’d really like to celebrate is not so much my business but a group of women I’ve come to know as a result of this…goal.

I’ve worked for small business organizations and chambers of commerce long enough to know the kind of effort and resources needed to get a small business going.  Even with the best marketing effort, many small businesses take months to get a client base/customer response going, if at all!

My business took off far better and far quicker than I expected and it has much to do with an online network of business owners I’ve come to know over the last year.  The group, Mom Masterminds (MM), is not a code name for a CIA team or a covert PTA group.  It is a group having more impact and relevance to women wanting to have it all than any other group I’ve come across to date.   The term “having it all” gets overused, I think the term refers to those of us seeking to have ”some semblance of family life and time with children while being able to do the work we love and generate breadwinner earnings (through necessity or choice).” 

Here’s what I like most about this group.  If you need to have a business letter critiqued or a marketing strategy reviewed – consider it done…and quickly. From the outstanding experts who lead this group to the business owner who just joined last week, members  benefit from the experience and variety of the many women in MM who hail from the U.S., Canada and even a few other international locations.

Women in the Mom Masterminds group are among the sharpest entrepreneurs you’ll come across.  We’ve got copy writers, acclaimed life coaches (hi Aurelia), scrapbook/ebay experts (hi Vera), inspirational speakers for youth/young women (hi Alyssa), graphic designers (hi Wendy)….and I could go on.

All “plugging” aside these women really are tops in their field and their motivation and expertise has been influenced by one of the leading innovators in the the work at home mom market – Kelly McCausey of WAHM Talk Radio.

The next time you’re in need of professional services for your business, family or social needs…take a second look at that determined woman pushing a stroller down the sidewalk, or debating with a teenager…she just might be the business warrior you’ve been looking for!
