What Is A Momprenuer? Business strategist Lanisha Holland Explains


Listen Later

In the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship, the term "entrepreneur" has become a common buzzword, particularly with the surge in side hustles and businesses since 2016. Notably, 41.5% of entrepreneurs identify as women, while 58.5% identify as men, reflecting a diverse entrepreneurial landscape. The average age of entrepreneurs stands at 44 years old, showcasing a range of experienced individuals venturing into business.

However, within this entrepreneurial realm, a unique category has emerged — the Momprenuer. Coined around 1994, a Momprenuer is defined as a woman business owner adept at balancing the demanding roles of both a mother and an entrepreneur. This distinctive perspective adds a layer of complexity to the entrepreneurial journey, emphasizing the challenges and triumphs of women navigating the dual responsibilities of motherhood and business ownership.

In the spotlight today is Lanisha Holland, a Momprenuer who not only embodies the essence of a skilled strategist and business coach but also champions the cause of empowering fellow women seeking balance in their lives and side businesses. With a career marked by retiring from Corporate America at the age of 33, Holland exemplifies the pursuit of one's passions and the creation of a fulfilling life alongside her son.

What sets Holland apart is her ability to monetize her passions, aligning her career with her interests and, in turn, teaching other moms the art of doing the same. Her story is a testament to the idea that becoming a mom doesn't mean sacrificing one's dreams. Holland encourages women to take chances on themselves, pursue their aspirations, and walk confidently in their purpose.

Retiring from Corporate America at a relatively young age, Holland's journey is an inspiring narrative of resilience, determination, and embracing opportunities. She emphasizes the importance of avoiding a life of regret by daring to take chances and pursue one's dreams, even after becoming a mom. Holland's mission is clear — to empower women to be Mom Bosses who not only manage the challenges of motherhood and entrepreneurship but thrive in both roles. As she continues to live her best life alongside her son, Lanisha Holland stands as a beacon of encouragement for mothers everywhere, proving that it's never too late to be a Mom That Bosses.
