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.

The Cost of Overdelivering: How to Reclaim Your Time and Talent.

  By Dr. Dori B. Cook | NACR3: Strength. Resilience. Sparkle. You do the most. Not because you’re trying to impress. Not because you’re trying to outshine anyone. But because you’ve been conditioned to prove your worth through your output. And let’s be real: overdelivering got you here. But it won’t get you there —to freedom, sustainability, joy, or equity. In the world of Black women entrepreneurs, overdelivering is often disguised as excellence . But what it really creates is exhaustion, entitlement from others, and erosion of your boundaries. Let’s talk about it. What Overdelivering Actually Costs You Yes, it earns praise. It may even temporarily increase revenue or referrals. But over time, the costs begin to stack: Real Cost Hidden Impact Undercharging          Devalues your skill, normalizes burnout pricing People-Pleasing          Trains clients to expect beyond your scope Self-Neglect         ...

What to Do When You’re Called to Lead but Tired of Building Alone.

By Dr. Dori B. Cook | NACR3: Strength. Resilience. Sparkle. There is a particular ache that comes with being a visionary—a weight that builds when you’re the strategist, creator, motivator, accountant, and social media manager, often being the only one who truly sees the full vision. Especially as a Black woman entrepreneur, you are not just building a business; you are carrying a legacy, rewriting narratives, and creating safe spaces where none existed before. The truth is,  it gets heavy. There are days you may wonder, “ Why does it feel like I’m the only one who sees this?”  Or worse: “ Am I wrong for wanting more support?” Let me offer this truth: You are not wrong . You are not weak .  You are tired , and that’s honest.  But you are also still chosen , and that is sacred. The Lonely Burden of Vision Being called to lead means you are wired to think differently and see solutions others haven’t imagined. However, being the “first” or the “only” often me...
