Starting My Own Business

Making the Transition From Lawyer to Entrepreneur

As a mompreneur, you need to be savvy, enthusiastic, committed and always consider the “Big Picture.” The most difficult challenge, for me, is balancing the needs of my autistic son and his four siblings with my commitment to the business. It is essential that I am able to function on little or no sleep. Many e-mails are returned in the wee hours of the morning! Like Mabel’s Labels, I, too, run 24/7.

  • Wow! Mabel's Labels is a GREAT idea! REALLY useful! I, too, am an entrepreneur and mom of two and really enjoy the flexibility of working for myself. I enjoy hearing about other moms doing the same. PLUS, I'm writing a second book about businesses women can start while also raising their children. If anyone would be interested in having their own business included in my book, I'd love to talk with you! Thanks!
