Entrepreneur:

I don’t think there’s ever been a time when so many moms have wanted to start their own businesses. Recent numbers from the Center for Women’s Business Research show that there are currently some 10.6 million women-owned firms in the United States. And while not all of these businesses are owned by women with children, there are unusually high numbers of women these days who desire careers that are supportive of motherhood.

We’re recognizing the high financial and emotional costs of having someone else raise our children while we go to work. And we look at success stories like Baby Einstein’s Julie Aigner Clark and Lillian Vernon’s catalog and say, “I could do that”. We want rewarding, stimulating careers where we call the shots and decide the hours. And the best part of being in business for ourselves is that we can spend more time with our kids, either at home or at the office.
