Ever wish you had a guide to help you develop and run a business from home? That's why I love the new book Mom, Inc.—a great guide to show you how to run a business at home while a mom. Written by two savvy professionals and moms, Meg Mateo Ilasco—mother of two, freelance artist and writer, and a serial entrepreneur—and her friend and coauthor Cat Seto—designer, illustrator, writer and stationery and wedding line creator.
Book includes tips on how to:
- Write a business plan
- Attract clients
- Stay focused at home
- Market your business effectively
- Gracefully juggle parenting and work
- And so much more!
Meg wrote about her experiences as a mom and business person on Design*Sponge and offered 5 tips I thought were wonderful—be sure to read the full story on Design*Sponge. Here are Meg's tips :
1. Motherhood doesn’t mean sainthood.
2. Yes, children should come first, but . . . sometimes so should your business!
3. Think less about the word “balance” and think more about “making it work.”
4. Don’t forget your friends.
5. Enjoy the process and learn to adapt.
