A place for local moms to share information and meet new friends
Mompreneur's Group
Greetings everyone,
Michelle and I have been emailing for a couple months regarding starting a local Mompreneur's group and I wanted to see if anyone in the forum would be interested as well.
For myself, I'm finding that I love being a mom but I also really need to work towards my personal goals to be balanced and fulfilled as an individual. Before I had kids I was very focused on my career (10 years) and now that I am home that drive is still
there and I want to channel it in a different direction so I can be flexible and stay at home with my son.
I'd like to create a monthly (or quarterly) gathering for ladies that want to start a business, have a business or just want to get out of the house for a night and learn something new to add to their own skill set.
For those of us who want to start a business it would be great to get some feedback from other moms as to what they like, dislike, and/or would like to see on the market! Ladies that currently have a business....I'm sure it would be great for them to get feedback for growth of their existing business as well as get some fresh ideas.
Even if you don't want to start a business, don't have a business, you may just want to learn a new skill that one of the other ladies can teach you! Anyway....hopefully you understand the direction I'm heading!
The logic behind this is to really create a group of individuals that want to brainstorm, support and gather to be proactive in helping/supporting other moms/ladies in their goals.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and start up a group!
Thx, Junneen

I'd join! I've been on the fence about starting my own business for so long, that maybe something like this will give me the clarity to move forward. Thanks for posting!

When is a good time for everyone?
Would you perfer to meet at night during the week after the kids are down, say 7ish or do you prefer to meet on the weekend?
Thx,

Hey Juneen-
I am going to send the link to this site to a few hundred more more moms later this week, so there will hopefully be some more interest then.

Hi Kristen , I'm so glad you're interested! Michelle and I are going to try and arrange a date and start the group. We'll keep you posted. I think Michelle officially made it a "group" on this website, make sure you add yourself to the list. Looking forward to meeting you.
