What's Happening:
Mompreneur is a new term for women who choose to start a home business while parenting their children and operating their households. It is a label that identifies a trend, really more of a business revolution.
The movement is new and just starting to gain recognition. That recruits or WAHMs (Work At Home Moms) are increasing quickly is a surety.
Previous generations saw 'mom' exclusively as 'homemaker.'
The women's movement made significant inroads in the social perception of this role. In seeking equality, women learned that they were now expected to join the workforce and compete with men.
There was a quiet, societal perspective that the woman who chose to stay at home was less educated or less intelligent than women who worked in the traditional office especially their male counterparts. Today this view is changing and soon may be only a minority opinion.
It may be due to the poor economy.
At the same time, the social and economic pendulum is now relaxing more towards the center. Many women who joined the workplace and delayed motherhood have learned that their maternal instincts can only be satisfied with actual, rather than delegated, parenting. These women chose want to play an important role in their children's lives.
The Glove is Thrown!
The Gauntlet is Tossed!
Women facing this challenge are confronted with conflicting agendas. The need for income remains, whether as a main or supplemental means to support their families. The yearning to parent in person will yet not be denied. Being well educated or being accustomed to everyday adult connections at work , these women feel isolated and disconnected from intellectual challenges. This is when depression can set in.
Women have had to evolve to reconcile this conundrum. Functioning in survival mode has taught women to manage daily household duties while feeding a baby. Up until recently, some women found personal satisfaction and social interactions by selling cosmetics or jewelry in their spare time. In the 'old days,' fewer possibilities were open to them.
The Internet is the Weapon of Choice!
The Internet to the Rescue!
Business conference calls can be accomplished while dusting or doing laundry. Women home journalists can research and write at their home office as the kids are napping.
For women willing to objectively re-assess their abilities and interests and use them differently (but use them still) , the possibilities are endless.
For those with less experience, the internet can become a phenomenal educator. An easy "Google" search can point you to schooling for needed skills, ranging from internet marketing to insurance billing, to software design to investigative research. And the list continues...
The WAHM is becoming acknowledged as a valid contender in more business arenas than ever before. Where once this possiblity was only a dream. It is now real and happening daily. It is stimulating. It earns. It is fulfilling. These 'perks' are exactly what the doctor ordered to cheer up the stay at home mom!
