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.
