10 Inspiring Tips For Mompreneurs

Hi Moms,

It's about 15 hours before regular nine to fivers will prepare for the next work week. But as we Moms know, there are many weekends when we don't have a break or we have to be deliberate about taking a break. #STRONG

Since my brainiac, Karma, was 7 years old I have been working on my own goals of being my own boss. After grad school, the BMOB bug (be my own boss) bit me and a dream came alive. The seed was planted long before I started college.  I grew up in a household with entrepreneuring parents. My mother and father were always keen on building their own business. My parents used their talents to build a b2c small business. Their business grew from wood carving business that helped them to show off their creative skills to my mother's Soft Stuff company. Both parents worked their day jobs and made time for their passions, but my Mom was the 1st Mompreneur that I knew and learned about being a business woman! #RESILIENT

What started out as a trades evolved into a business that gave me and my brother opportunities that were would have been beyond our reach. I can remember my mother coming home from the office and did her Soft Stuff Enterprise creative work of making stuffed characters, clothes and desktop printing. I remember her recruiting me and my brother to help out with her work all while my dad went out of the home to work. My mother raised her family and worked her passion. There are so many memories and a whole lot of inspiration for the legacy I continue to create today. #LUMINOUS

I have included a link to Veronica Romney's article on hubspot that speaks to our motto here at Nacr3. Being Strong, Resilient, Luminous! Take a peek. There's also a free business plan template to download.

becoming...Pearl

Happy Day Pearl, One thing 2020 has taught me is that self-reflection is the new 'wokeness'... the master key to enjoying life. Over the last 9 months, I, like a lot of people around the world, have had quite a bit of time to sit in my home and engage in moments of, at times intense, self-reflection thanks to COVID-19. I had a lot of time to look at old pictures, read old journal entries, and continue writing on my upcoming project. But this day, I had an inspiration arrive and Pearls I am thankful for this opportunity.  Self-reflection's greatest vehicle is transition. For me this time of year, August through October has always represented transition. From birthdays, the beginning of things again after some time of growth to the end of my favorite season, Summer. So here I am in this transition of seasons, work cycles, and personal growth with self-reflection as the skipper .   Self-Reflection is   becoming Strong ,  becoming Resilient , and  becoming Lumi...
