Mompreneurs are here to stay, balancing home and business

Being a mom is enough responsibility, but some moms take balancing life to a whole new level. Mompreneurs as they are called are the most established entrepreneurs. They have the security of their house and husband, also have the kids, they have nothing to lose and a lot to inspire.

Starting any business is a struggle and requires a lot of dedication, in terms of time and energy. This lays heavy more on mothers who have to balance home with business. It’s not a 9 to 5 deal here, its 24-hour dedication to both. And yet many do it beautifully and live a very satisfying life.

There is a lot one can learn from these super beings, time management is key for them, and that is one task every new entrepreneur struggles with. Many women struggle with the decision of getting back to work after having kids, and it takes great perseverance and family support to launch your own business and make it a success. Some of the mompreneurs known worldwide are:
