26 Feb Having it All. How to merge a successful Business at-home while being an at-home Mom

What the heck is a Stay-At-Home Momprenuer?

You went to college.  You had a career.  You had a life. But, one day you said to your husband, “wouldn’t it be great to have a baby?  It can’t be that hard.  I’ll continue working, we’ll get a Nanny or put the baby in Day Care, it will be fine”

Boy, were you in for a shock.

Meet Lara Galloway

Lara Galloway was one of those women.  She was a very successful woman in the work force.  She was a sales executive ,  had perks, travel,  her own well earned pay check.   Then she had a baby, then two, three… her husband was transferred.   Life happens and things change.   So what’s an experienced business Mom to do?  Lara sat back and took stock of herself.  By taking her extensive business experience, she reapplied it to starting her own new business. At home.  She became a coach. A business coach for Mom’s who wanted to work from home on their own terms. Guess what?  Business is booming.  Why? Because most women have a hard time organizing the two worlds to work in sync with each other. Lara has it down to an organized science that can help you even if you don’ t know exactly what it is you want to be doing.

How to make this happen for you

You need to make a commitment to yourself that you want to work for yourself and be a Mom under the same roof, in essence, having it all.  There is a new word for it.  Momprenuer. Mom’s who run their own entrepreneurial businesses from home.  If you want to go back to work for someone who will give you a paycheck, this is not for you.

Mom Biz Makeover Program -

Six Month Program Group Program

A very reasonable fee applies (check the website for details.)

This is for the Mom whose balance between work and Mommy is not happening.  Actually both work and family life are suffering.  This course is geared to either start you on that road to Mompreneurship or tweak you into an organized blend of the two ‘you’s’.  This is set up similarly to online classroom learning.  You will have two real time Q  & A calls a month and e-courses which involve all kinds of goodies like articles, podcasts and videos. There is a community forum and a bulletin board for other ‘classmates’ so you can share and interact with others facing the same dilemmas as you.

What does she talk about? Every month a different theme will be addressed and explored in depth.

Lara’s Goal for you? She wants you to get the most out of the course.  This is not intended to be a long term relationship.   Her purpose is to teach you how to have a successful sustainable business, bring in a paycheck and enjoy your family and your life in balance.

Private Coaching and Business Strategy Coaching -

These programs are individually tailored to YOU.  Lara will not only help clean up your act, but she will be able to guide you into getting profitably focused and organized.  Don’t know what you want to do?  She will go through that process with you as well and help you figure it out.  Her goal is to make you self sufficient and guide you into utilizing techniques that will help you realize your full financial potential.  Call her to say hi once in a while. That’s it.
