    Tips to Become Independent as You Transition into Full Time Entrepreneurship.

    1. Find something that can pay your rent whether it’s working at a diner. You can be employed part time for a while and then be independent (work on your business) the rest of the week.
    2. Don’t become an entrepreneur or contractor if you don’t have anything to sell.
    3. Once you have a product, focus on branding and networking.
    4. Build a Home page.
    5. Start writing or making your knowledge and expertise available to potential clients.
    6. Recruit help.
    7. Entrepreneurship is not just about developing a product or service and building a business. Sell your expertise as an independent contractor.

      1. Use old contacts to sell your knowledge and expertise. Set up contracts with companies.
      2. Be creative.
      3. Be resourceful.
      4. Be willing to sell your time.
      5. Leverage your network by getting an advisory board for your business.

        1. Find 10 people in your network. Select people you already know, trust and are highly respected. They should also be familiar with your business.
        2. Meet up to 6 times a year.
        3. Make sure the meetings are efficient and beneficial for all parties.
        4. Get members from various industries with different areas of expertise.
        5. Focus in on individuals based on their skills for specific projects.

        8. CEOMOM Podcast: Episode 6 – Teaching Your Daughters About Money With Kris Miller – Part II

          On this episode, I talk to Kris Miller, co-founder of Legacy Shifters, about teaching our daughters about money. For Part II of our 2 part discussion about girls and finances, Kris dives deep into ways mom can not only talk to their daughters about financing, but how they can practice what they preach. We talk a little more about why women have less financial confidence than men and how women can fight wage inequality by building their own wealth. Kris encourages women to speak up and educate themselves about money in an effort to not only ensure their financial future, but teach their daughters to do the same.

        9. CEOMOM Podcast: Episode 5 – Teaching Your Daughters About Money with Tia Ross – Part I

          On this episode, I talk to Tia Ross, co-founder of Legacy Shifters, about teaching our daughters about money. For Part I of our 2 part discussion about girls and finances, Tia shares some tips to not only help moms start the conversation about money with their daughters, but make it ongoing through practical and daily application. Research shows that parents are more likely to talk to their sons about money than their daughters due to archaic beliefs that girls do not need to build their own wealth. Tia is helping to change that mindset through education and application that starts at home. We’re not only creating legacies as mom bosses, but we’re teaching our daughters to do the same.

          Tips to Help Daughters Practice Smart Money Management

          1. Take your daughters shopping with you and have a pre-conversation with them before you go. Make a connection between the things you’re buying for them and the actual cost. Don’t tell them show them. Make numbers real to them.

        10. CEOMOM Podcast: Episode 4 – Simona Noce & Nikki Osei-Barrett Talk the Importance of Having a Mom Tribe

          On this episode, I talk to public relations powerhouses Simona Noce and Nikki Osei-Barrett about the importance of creating a mom community and their upcoming inaugural event The Momference. Simona and Nikki started District MotherHued in 2016, the premiere organization for millennial moms of color to equip and engage women looking to expand their mom tribe. What started out as a party quickly evolved into a full fledged organization in the DMV area. With events such as the Mom Loft and Mommy En Blanc, it’s no wonder moms across the nation want to get in on the action. The Momference will host powerful influencers such as Kahlana Barfield Brown, Instyle Magazine’s Fashion and Beauty Editor and Julee Wilson, Fashion & Beauty Director at Essence Magazine as well as panelist Rainbow Barris, author of Keeping up with the Johnsons: Bow’s Guide to Black-ish Parenting. Speakers will discuss mommy’s mental health, the pursuit of perfection and raising future leaders.

        11. CEOMOM Podcast: Episode 3 – Let’s Talk Balance

          On this episode, I give you my perspective on this thing we call work/life balance. What does it mean? How do you obtain it? I break down what balance looks like to me. We’ve interviewed a lot of moms and we often discuss what balance means to each of them.

          I challenge you to not only define work/life balance for yourself, but abandon societal practices to embrace what works for you and your family. Knowing what it looks like for you will change how you manage your business and family.

        15. CEOMOM Podcast: Episode 1 – Trailer

          CEOMOM Magazine is excited to finally be launching our podcast. Join us for bi-weekly episodes discussing everything pertaining to motherhood, business and life. With our magazine, the publication that puts super-moming into perspective, we have the opportunity to interview a diverse group of women from various industries and stages of their careers. We learn so much from these working moms and “mompreneurs” and we can’t wait to bring some of those interviews to you. In addition to interviews, we will have inspirational moments with the Mom Boss Minute.

          In our podcast we will discuss balance; is it obtainable and what does it mean? We aim to inspire women to continue to pursue their passions unapologetically in an effort to change the world. Mom bosses are leaving legacies their children can be proud of and emulate. Join the conversation.
