Todays Mompreneur

Approximately 2 weeks ago I posted about my search for mompreneurs to interview. The first reply I received was from Kristy Colvin, a today.com blogger and an amazing woman. If you’ve ever read her blog, Mosaic Moments, then it’ll come as no surprise that she is also the president of the International Mosaic Down Syndrome Association. She’s an amazing wife, mother and grandmother.

If you haven’t heard of her previously, you might recognize her from other sources. Kristy has also shared her story in places such as the Yvonne Pierre Show, which is a Blog Talk Radio show, and on This American Life.

Normally I would use this post to share the story of a mompreneur, unfortunately I don’t have a story to share for today. However, that gives me an excuse to take a moment and let all of you know that I am open to hearing what you have to say!

If you’re trying to start a business, but you are feeling a bit disheartened over it, what do you want to hear? What would you want to read? I’d bet a variety of success stories that share with you how other women have made it to various stages in business would help motivate you further.

That is why it’s so important to me that I am able to bring the stories of these everyday women into the spotlight and show others that it can be done.

Whether you’re just starting out, or your business has been up and running for years, I want to hear from all of you! Share your struggles, share your success, share your favorite moments in business, and just simply tell your personal story.

If you are a mompreneur, or you know of one, please send this along to them. If you are interested in sharing your story, I can be reached by email at: angel(at)angelashupe(dot)com. Please make sure to put “Today’s Mompreneur” in the subject so I know this is an interview request.

As the first interview here on Today’s Mompreneur, I wanted someone that I currently follow on the ‘net. I wanted the first interview to be a woman I knew was stronger than she let on and someone I knew will continue to succeed in her endeavors. She’s a great woman, she’s a single mom, and she has worked very hard to build up her business. More than anything, I think she’s an inspiration. Starting a business takes risk, but those who do take that chance always exhibit a strong will to succeed.

April Jones, also known as AprilTara on Twitter, is a mompreneur as well as a mommy blogger. Through everything she does, I really want to put the spotlight on her VA business, Advantage Virtual Assistant. She always wanted to start her business, but it was the loss of her day job that made it easier for her to really dig in and work on it. Things have been rough, but April has seen her way through.

She’s a truly deserving mompreneur.
