One of the biggest reasons that moms want to start their own businesses is for the flexibility to be
home with their kids. One of the biggest reasons that moms don't start their own businesses is because of excuses, reasons why they can't do it. Claire Yoh could have had huge reasons for not starting a business, moving to different continents every few years. Instead, she looked at those moves as reasons to reevaluate the business she was doing. And instead of saying why she couldn't start yet another business, she learned from past mistakes, grew, and started a new business every time she moved.
Claire is a beautiful woman I met through a social media connection in this fantastic network of women empowering women community that is growing by leaps and bounds on the Mompreneur Next Door platform. I had the pleasure of speaking with her recently, and when asking why she chose entrepreneurship, she said it is her life's purpose to create something from her soul that will help others. Many moms feel similarly - we want to do something to help other people.
As Claire moved to different continents, she developed her business skills and acumen by doing the work and not waiting for the right time. This is another challenge many moms have - waiting until... Well, just like having children, there is never going to be a right time. If it's something you want to do, take it from Claire - hop in and do it. Claire's fourth and current business, Cherry Ace, is a lingerie business that she loves because she gets to help women feel beautiful and self confident. What a wonderful gift!
Throughout the moves and two children, Claire has experienced numerous benefits but of course challenges as well. She admits to doing what most every mom does once in a while, which is screen-time babysitting. And guess what? Her children are doing just fine (Check out my blog post to learn how I didn't destroy my kids with tech and sugar either.) If you are pondering any sort of on-line or product-driven business, you won't want to miss the full interview with Claire - she's brilliant!
