Moms in Business

It is not easy to take care of a house, children, a spouse and a business! We will simplify it now. If you are a mom running a business (whether from home or not) you will need to have many skills - the most important one is time management. I will be posting my finding in this area soon. as for now, let me tell you what do you need to start up a business:

1. The IDEA (either product or service) - which needs to be tested against the market and the concept of supply and demand! One way of searching the supply and demand is through checking the count of targeted keywords. To learn more about what I am talking about, read this short article.

2. Business structure - you will be surprised to know that a number of my clients found that our proposed website structure actually organized their thoughts and made them realize where do they need to focus on their business structure. To have a good business structure, you need to answer these main questions:

• a. What is your mission?



• b. About Us page (what do you want to tell your petential clients about you?)



• c. The Process: How ill you be handling orders? how many people do you need to hire?

TIP: You can work from home, while taking care of your children, and then meet clients in an office. You can always sublease an office (or a room in an office) that you can use for meeting clients purposes.

3. Website (Online Presence): we can help you in this department. With todays technology, it is very feasible to run your business form your house office. The internet provides you with the approperiate networking, online databases, web applications to make your business manmagement easier and eMarketing.

4. Branding: With the internet technology, branding is not very expensive. You can get a logo for about $150 and then integrating it to all your business aspects can cost you next to nothing as well. You will need a business card (which can be designed for about $150 as well) then you can print them for less than a $100 (for a thousands copies). The rest of letter head, envelops and stationary shows that you are serious in conducting your business and there is no reason for your client to question your professionality. As for an online business, if you are counting more on the internet to market yourself (and to manage and run your business - virtual office), then branding is not optional (it is a must).

5. A lot of DEDICATION: It is very easy to fall when you are starting a business. Therefore, make sure that you are surrounded with positive energy to keep your dedication level as high as possible. According to recednt reserach, surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging people, friends or family proved to boost your energy and your perception of your business; hence, better business management and more sales! (since you can think clearly without the struggle of filtering the negative energy around you!) You can always seek such positive enery from being part of community (online community that is). You are very welcommed to ask me anything you want or even post your questions on our Bulletin Board - Forum. We love to create the online supportive community that will provide you with the necessary positive energy!
