DIY Mompreneur

Angel — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:57:54 +0000

I always feel a sense of excitement, pride even, when I interview a self-made entrepreneur that also happens to be a mom. Today I had the opportunity to post an interview I had done with one such woman on a client’s website. She saw an opportunity and grabbed at it. Now she is working hard to grow a business while raising a family. I admire the determination that mompreneurs have. It’s not easy to make it all work, believe me I know, but yet these women still do it. Its simply amazing. That’s ...

The Blackberry and the Blog

Angel — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:01:43 +0000

Some people don’t like smart phones and some only use iPhones. I, however, can vouch for the Blackberry. Approximately one week ago I updated to a Blackberry. It is a great addition for this freelancer that needs to stay on top of her clients needs. Instead of not responding to a client for hours or even days because I am unavailable, I can message them back in minutes. Of course it isn’t all work, the wordpress app makes it possible for me to update directly from my phone at any time. ...

A Change of Pace

I am in school and freelancing. As you can imagine that means my schedule can get a little ridiculous.

I had the time I needed for an extracurricular activity or two, work and plenty of time to spend with my daughter. Now that I’m getting used to the change of pace that school has required me ...

The Business Of A Business Degree

Today I was sitting at the coffee shop trying to get some schoolwork done when I met a nice lady from out of town and struck up a conversation with her. She asked me about school and what degree I was going for, as it turns out she has her BS in nursing. She went on to say that a business degree is a great thing to have because there are so many opportunities for people that specialize in it. That wasn’t the first time I’ve heard someone talk ...

Back To School

Angel — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 05:35:21 +0000

For the last few years I have been looking at ways to go back to school that would allow me to still have time for work and for my daughter. A friend told me about the school she was going through so I decided to look into it and eventually signed up. I am now officially back in school, taking courses from home through the University of Phoenix online classroom. My course of study? I am working towards my Associate of Arts with a concentration in Foundations of ...
