The Business of Being a Mom (FM)

The most challenging position in the world is being a mother and juggling a career. Not only is being a mom difficult on it's own, but then try juggling a full time career while trying to be the best at both. Which is what a lot of this radio show is all about -- how to find resources and answers to make life easier because before baby came along, most women were juggling a busy life to begin with.

On this show I am joined by Mindee Dooney, co-creator of Boogie Wipes, and now a regular contributor on the show as a Mom in Business expert. She had two children when she launched the product line of Boogie Wipes with her partner in December of 2007, she then got pregnant, and just recently gave birth to her third child, while building a successful business. She shares some parallel mom skills with business skills that can be used not only at the office, but also at home. Skills such as time management, schmoozing, strategy, negotiation and multi-tasking. Learn how she has managed to keep her personal and business life trucking along.

Then Laura Lowell, a mom, entreprenur and author of the book 42 Rules for Working Moms discusses some rules that she uncovered through her own experience, and by interviewing hundreds of other mothers while researching her book. She shared with me how 70% of all moms work in some capacity out of the home. If you are one of those mothers learn about several things to consider when first bringing baby home, how organization is the key to your sanity, and don't forget about your partner, he plays a major role in helping you keep it all afloat!

Tap in to the radio show and see if you can pick up some tips to make your life a little easier.
