Invitation to Mompreneurs

Posted by MaryPat Kavanagh on February 15th, 2009

I just posted this on my other blog: www.SavvyMompreneurs.com, but wanted to share here as well. header 300x128 Invitation to Mompreneurs

****************************

So I love videos, but really, when OTHER people do them. This is my attempt to personally invite all mompreneurs to our telesummit that starts this week–despite my 11 yr old peeking through the blinds in the background and my 5 year old opening and closing the front door multiple times…

Anyhow, here is my invite in a nutshell…

Savvy Mompreneurs Telesummit information

I’ll bet you’ve noticed this trend too…have you been aware of more and more moms running their own businesses? Well you’re exactly right. Statistics show there are more and more Mompreneurs everyday. Unfortunately you can’t get a college degree on how to be a Mompreneur. Figuring things out on your own takes years and is filled with a path mistakes. Trust me, I know. I’m the mother of 4 and I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 20 years.

Because I REALLY want to help other Mompreneurs reach maximum success in the shortest amount of time, I asked 20 of the most successful women I know to share their knowledge with you. To my surprise I actually got confirmation from 22! They are making themselves accessible to you from February 16 through the 25th in the “Savvy Mompreneurs Telesummit.”

And they are all sharing real world techniques that are sure to push your business to the next level, no matter where you are today. There is really no other training for Mompreneurs available right now on this scale.

I’m sure you’ll recognize many of the names of these powerhouse Mompreneurs. We’re kicking off the series with Kristi Frank of “The Apprentice” fame. There are so many others I’ll just let you read for yourself. All the details are on this page. I look forward to hearing you on the calls and learning all about YOUR successes!

“It’s No Accident How These Savvy Mompreneurs
Have Run Successful Careers AND Happy Families…
And How YOU Can Too!”

From the home office of MaryPat Kavanagh
Monday, 9:23 a.m.

Hi fellow mompreneur!

Let’s face it. Moms are probably the best multi-taskers around. We can balance a toddler on a hip, while making a PBJ sandwich, and talking to our most important client on the phone.

sasevich as mommy Are you a mompreneur?But just because we CAN juggle so well doesn’t mean we always make the best choices about our businesses.

No Matter What The Daily Pressures Are, A Lot Is
Expected From Moms…

To be honest with you…moms have it tougher than your average person. Yes, we’re all time-challenged. But no matter how far we’ve come in gender equality, women are expected to juggle more. We are still maternal. It’s in our DNA. No turning that off. We want our children to thrive and be successful at everything from infancy to adulthood. And of course we want to make enough money financially to afford the freedoms that brings.

Don’t Make Yourself Sound So Boring

Posted by MaryPat Kavanagh on February 10th, 2009

joan small Dont Make Yourself Sound So BoringGUEST POST FROM JOAN STEWART (see credits at bottom of post)

I’m not mentioning any names.

But when I read the social networking profiles of some of my friends and business associates, I think to myself: “You’re really interesting. And you’re lots of fun. You even have unusual hobbies. So why are you making yourself sound so boring?”

Yes, that little snippet of information just below your photo on your Twitter or Facebook profiles can determine whether a visitor follows you, friends you, or decides that you have nothing to offer and leaves in search of somebody else who does.

On LinkedIn, that much longer profile will determine whether somebody wants to connect with you, or forget you.

I can’t begin to count the number of Twitter replies and direct messages from my followers who comment on my love for the Food Network and motorycles, which I’ve mentioned in my profile at http://Twitter.com/PublicityHound

What does that have to do with publicity?

Absolutely nothing. (more…)

‘THE MILLIONAIRE MOMS-AT-HOME CLUB’

FOUR STRATEGIES FOR CREATING SUCCESS AT HOME BY
STAY-AT-HOME-MOM & FORMER ‘APPRENTICE’ KRISTI FRANK

kristi frank1 Monetary IntelligenceOnline entrepreneur Kristi Frank went from “You’re Fired” on Season One of ‘The Apprentice’ to “I’m Inspired” in her exciting and inspiring new reality - creating an online marketing site for stay-at-home mom’s just like her. Chosen by ‘The Donald’ to be in the first group of women ever to appear on NBC’s ‘The Apprentice,’ Kristi Frank left the show, got married, had a baby, and began working to become the new mentor for millionaire moms working at home.

By the age of 25, I had a degree in Engineering from USC and a real estate broker’s license. I’d already dealt in highly desirable Santa Monica real estate while earning money in my spare time dealing casino Blackjack. But I certainly wasn’t prepared for what was about to happen next. Chosen from over 250,000 applicants to appear in NBC’s ‘The Apprentice’ with Donald Trump - the first and still the highest rated season in the show’s history - I was happily running my successful Santa Monica restaurant when I took a shot at a New York long shot - ‘The Apprentice,’ created by Mark Burnett of ‘Survivor’ fame.

After hearing those dreaded two words directed from ‘The Donald’ to me, I was fortunate to take part in a whirlwind media tour, appearing as a guest on ‘Oprah’, ‘The View,’ ‘The Today Show,’ among many. I spoke privately with Barbara Walters and Katie Couric backstage, and on the way back home to Los Angeles, began to create a business plan for my next adventure. These days, when I’m not at home in Los Angeles or Park City, Utah with my husband and toddler son, you can catch me flying to and from marketing conferences across the country creating an online business specifically skewed to women. My sole intent is to empower “moms” with a soup-to-nuts online marketing business site that presents in a clear, linear format how to launch products and infomation online. But in the midst of developing my ultimate “mom’s” marketing web site, I thought I’d take pause and share some of the strategies for success I’ve employed in my own business and personal life. (more…)
