Calling all MomPreneurs, Women In Business, Small Business Owners!!!
Tired of wondering where your next client or customer is going to come from—or staying up all night because this brilliant business idea of yours just won’t go away? Whether you’re sick of doing all you know to do to make your business profitable (and still coming up short) or just tired of WAITING to (finally) take the leap, you’ve got to meet Tory Johnson (www.toryjohnson.com).
Many of you have been asking how I got started on my journey into entrepreneurship at age 24, then copped out for almost 4 years, then how I jumped back into it last year.
I have been blogging a year. And what a year it has been. I started this blog with a vision, with a dream, for all women who were sitting on the fence in their lives, to have a hub, a place to connect, and learn, and laugh, and get inspired to jump off the fence. I can say the success has been beyond my wildest expectations.
Ladies, I’m off ’till next week.
Co-Hosting an episode of a Mommy Show in L.A. and other exciting things.
I’ve never left my family this long and I’m feeling nervous and anxious.
And of course guilty.
I’ll try and check in on my spare time.
Wish me luck.

The Headlines today read: Federal authorities say firing for posts on Facebook illegal
Please note, the above is NOT the actual Facebook remarks in question.
A Connecticut was fired after posting disparaging remarks about her boss on Facebook.
This dismissal has prompted a first-of-its-kind case by the Federal Authorities who say that her comments are protected under the freedom of speech labor laws.
The company stands by its policy against employees discussing the company on the Internet.
The “On the fence” question: Do you think it’s grounds for dismissal if an employee spreads negative remarks on their “personal” Facebook page about the company they work for and its people ?
99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before… Starting Their Own Business
Do you wake you Monday morning and wish it were Friday already? Are you burning out in your current job and wish you had more flexibility? Are you tired of getting a paycheck for doing something you hate? Are you a stay-at-home mom who is antsy to finally do something for herself? Have you ever thought of turning your hobby into a career? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may just be ready to start your own business!
That was the question I asked 25 Grade 2 students this morning. And I got a gamut of answers, “A businessman, a lawyer, a nurse, a doctor, a spy like my mom (hmmm okay), an opera singer (yes I laughed too), a celebrity (what career is that exactly?), a baseball player, a hockey player, go into my daddy’s business, a JUGGLER.” OK great answers! Yes, I just left my son’s school for “Parents as Teachers Day.” I volunteered for this once-a-year day last year, and I was excited to return again this year.
What a delight it is as a businesswoman to sit down and read a book like Erica Diamond’s 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before….Starting Their Own Business. Of course, I wish this book had appeared on my desktop prior to publishing Press+1, but it was reassuring to know that many of the pitfalls, hardships, learning curves and successes along the way were not my own – they were shared by other businesswomen on a similar journey.
