I recognize that several decades ago, being an entrepreneur wasn't a popular option for most women. For example, back in Maude's day, most women didn't have the options that my friends and I have today.
While I know that entrepreneurship is not a part of my current life goals, I admire the people who take the plunge. What I think is funny is when I read articles discussing how entrepreneurship is good for Moms.
Of course it is good for Moms! Here's a list of why:
- Moms are not afraid to fail. Anyone who has had to bring home their newborn and completely trust their own instincts in order to keep another person alive is no longer afraid of anything. (Except maybe snakes.)
- Moms are great negotiators. Have you ever tried talking a three-year-old out of a tantrum? That takes some mad skills.
- Moms are creative. These are the people who have put together school projects with their children the night before they are due.
- Moms can master a schedule. They know how to get where they need to go to the exact minute.
So here's a toast to all the Moms out there - no matter what their choices are!
If you could own your own business, what would it be? Tell me in the comments.
