Tapping Into Your Assets (FM)

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to my blog....but time seemed to have gotten away from me!

As we continue to live in a crazy, constantly changing world, I wanted to focus one of my shows on how parents can utilize their best resources for the benefit of their family. For this show I brought on Kathi Crawford, founder of People Possibilities and a human resource specialist with over 15 years experience to discuss how to tap into your company's benefits such as paternity leave, health benefits, maternity and unpaid leave. She enlightened me on a new family and medical leave expansion act for smaller companies, and the company's requirement to protect your job when you are away on leave.

Then Mindee Doney, Co-Creator of Boogie Wipes and Co-Founder of Little Busy Bodies, Inc. talks about how to utilize your "moms skills" to start a business. At a time when families are looking for ways to supplement their incomes or prepare for a shift with their current job, Mindee shares information about how to tap into your skills and find opportunity within your current circles to generate revenue.

The ladies at Boogie Wipes are also launching a new section on their website for resources that "mompreneurs" can tap into, as well as two new opportunities for moms to work for Boogie Wipes on a part time/freelance basis through the Boogie Brigade, or Boogie Believers. Check out their website to learn more at wwww.BoogieWipes.com.
