 1. What’s the best part about being a Mompreneur?  Being able to it all!  What’s the dark side? Not being able to do it all as well as you want to.  Multi-tasking is highly over-rated and a disguise for a lack of presence.

 4. How important is networking to you?  Very important.  Do you network more online or offline? Both.  I prefer person to person.  Do you belong to any social networks?  Golden Gate Mother’s Group and I started a MOMpreneuers group in SF.

 5. Do you have a mentor and if so what value have they provided?  I have a few mentors mostly for emotional support.  I would like to have more business mentors.

 6. Are there any entrepreneur tools you wish you had better access to?  Yes, access to good contractors (graphic design, technology, legal, etc.) at reasonable rates.

 7. What has been your biggest challenge since launching your business? Life balance and cash flow.  If your best (mom) friend was going to take the dive and start her own business, what 3 tips would you give her?  Be clear about your vision.  Have enough passion, time and money to fulfill it.  Trust yourself and go for it!
