Mom Offers Business Advice
Mary Davis of Cocoa wanted advice on how to start her own business, so she went to the bookstore to find it.
Instead, she found no books on the topic of how to be a mom and an entrepreneur at the same time.
So the aspiring business owner and aspiring mother struck out on her own.
And, now, she has written a book on how women can combine the two desires — to own a business and still have time for a family.
The book is called “The Entrepreneurial Mom,” and it’s now on the shelves.
Q: Why did you write this book?
A: I have 15 years’ experience as a business owner and a mom — home interiors and furnishings.
When I started my business, back in 1992, it was around the time I was going to start a family. I knew it would be a balancing act.
There was nothing on the shelves at the time. I was in Books-A-Million, and I made a decision that, if I were to successfully manage a business and raise a family, I would write a how-to book as a resource for other women.
Q: What do you tell women who express interest in starting their own business?
A: It is possible for you to own a business if you’re a mom. There’s no reason why if you choose one you can’t have the other.
