Jen Emslander - Nurse Turned Mompreneur Turned Intrapreneur Extroardinaire

Last week was an exciting one because I hosted my inaugural interview on my Facebook page entitled (yes, you guessed it) "Mompreneur Next Door." I chose Jen Emslander because this beautiful, intelligent, fun and funny wife and mom of 3 and

I originally connected on LinkedIn, and after a wonderful conversation on the phone, a new idea for my blog was formed - why not highlight other moms on this journey to support and inspire us all. And why not start with Jen?

Jen was working as a nurse, married to an incredible man, living in Minnesota, and raising her three young children before she started her journey as a mompreneur. She and her husband were basically passing each other with the high-five hand off of their kids, losing touch with themselves and each other, and she knew something had to change. Sound familiar? When our kids are little, I think many of us have similar challenges. Listening to Jen's story, I got transported back to those challenging times in my life as well and remembered those feelings of looking for something, something like Jen wanted of being able to make money and also have flexibility to be with her kids.

I asked Jen how she found her business, and she replied that her business found her because she got to her breaking point and became more open to different options. A friend shared a sample of a product that she fell in love with, and the rest is history. This is a similar story for many moms - working so hard to make it work with what we thought would get us to where we want to be, and then realizing that we probably need to do something else. Jen dove in, became one of the top earners in her company, and that has lead her to an even greater path of helping more women do what she is doing - make money and be with her kids in an empowering faith-based environment.

Click here to listen to the full interview of Jen's journey. Not only will she share what she did, but she will also share some tips and the reality of what it took to achieve her level of success and the good, the bad and the ugly of her mompreneur/intrapreneur journey. Feel free to reach out to her as well if you would like to learn more about what she is doing.

Hey, Mom! Has Anyone Told You You're Doing A Great Job?

I was recently traveling alone with my three kids, and since they're tween/teens, this does not seem like such a Herculean effort as it did a few years ago. As we were exiting the shuttle from the rental car place to the airport, a guy looked at me and said "Hey, Mom! Has anyone told you lately you're doing a great job?" My face lit up, I felt a huge glow inside and thanked him profusely. He may as well have told me I had won the lottery.😁 This got me to thinking, why was this such a big deal? Probably for the one truth that most moms I know live. We think we suck at this parenting thing every single day. We beat ourselves up for every little thing. We read social media and play the compare game. We are not enough insert whatever crapola thing comes to our mind or is hot in the media at any given moment. And here's what the truth looks like. Most of us are doing a pretty amazing job. Our kids are loved, fed, clothed and housed. They feel secure enough to ha...

Creative And Stuck Behind A Desk? Time To Break Free!

Are you a creative type looking for more than the corporate grind? You know you have the ideas, but do you have what it takes to break free? Lisa Gutierrez Martinez often asked herself those questions, and she even asked her friends, some of whom basically told her that her business idea was crazy. Luckily for her and many people who have benefitted from her culturally impactful, creative and stylish dinner parties, she didn't listen. Lisa has worked successfully in various corporate positions, liking some, not loving some, and throughout them all envisioning other ways she could be professionally challenged and fulfilled as an entrepreneur. Having her own business was even more of a calling for her when her son was born. Until he was around one, she stayed with her job and had limited flexibility, but she still had to be away from him for 8 to 9 hours a day and knew it was time for a change so started her "side hustle." Like many entrepreneurial-minded people, Lis...

Do You Think All Bricks And Mortar Businesses Are Dead? Think Again!

We hear it over and over again - bricks and mortar stores are dying. Don't start a retail store because everyone is shopping on line. Recently I met a mompreneur who would beg to differ. Megan Giltner, a self-proclaimed professional bra fitter and accidental entrepreneur, became the owner of a lingerie boutique a few years ago and says the business is thriving. Like many of us moms who pursue entrepreneurship, Megan always knew that being a mom was something important to her, and at the same time she needed to feel professionally productive and engaged. She had been working in lingerie for several years, initially as a part-time way to earn some extra spending money. When Megan was four months pregnant, the owner offered her the opportunity to purchase the business where she was working, and although timing may not have seemed ideal, she jumped in with both feet and has not regretted her decision. What Megan loves most about entrepreneurship is the ability to do something sh...
