Today's Moms Are Doing It For Themselves
Statistics show that Mommy-Owned Businesses are on the rise. Many women say they can’t find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home. Indeed, according to a national survey conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, 54 per cent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family was a key reason to leave the corporate world behind.
Ninety-two per cent of female small business owners say that mobile devices and computer software can help a mom-entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, 95 per cent agree that small business owners need to be more technology-savvy than ever before.
When deciding to start a Mommy-Owned Business, consider the following:
1) Being a mom-entrepreneur means trading in a typical 9-to-5 work week in for a more irregular work schedule. Finding a business that can be operated in the evenings will allow you to spend more quality time with your little one during the day.
2) An investment in mobile technology can help you to find more flexibility so you can balance your business with pleasure.
3) Learning how to use your productivity software to its full advantage can help you become more efficient and free up more time.
4) While you may be saving money on childcare, many small businesses don’t make a profit in the first year. Make sure that your household needs can still be met before taking the plunge.
