• Thank you Pamela, Kathryn, and Melanie for your comments. I completely agree that single moms shouldn’t go it alone, and I don’t think they do. With their resourcefulness single moms tend to build their own support network of friends, other single moms, and family which is unique. I think this gives them extra strength. Especially blogs like this one, designed to be a support network all on its own. I think it’s wonderful 🙂

    • What beautiful thoughts, Fiona! 🙂

      Strength, resourcefulness, and resilience are the attributes I want to instill in the single mompreneurs that reach out to me. They have dreams and desires and passions like everyone else. They just oftentimes need words of encouragement, a helping hand, and a listening ear.

      Thank you for bringing single moms into the spotlight today in your guest post!

      Love,
      Melanie

  • Good job gals. Being a single mom and raising a family… I certainly was motivated by my necessity level. I found that I was already skilled at multi-tasking long before I had to financially support my family.

    In reading your post I’m fully convenience that women are great and courageous.

    • Those are truly wonderful words, Kathy – “Great and Courageous”!

      Women will rule the world! (Well, we already do but don’t tell the guys) 🙂

      Really appreciate your visit today,

  • Hi Melanie,
    Quite insightful and informative. I would like to add that in as much as single moms can make great entrepreneurs they shouldn’t go it alone. As soon as it is financially possible to hire a VA please do. This leaves you more time to focus on what matters most in your business and your life.

    Regards,
    Pamela

    • G-R-E-A-T suggestion, Pamela!

      And if a VA is not in the budget, at least begin to outsource whatever is dragging you down or keeping you from moving forward in your business. I tell my solo mompreneurs it’s okay to take baby steps that will improve your productivity and your emotional well being!

      You’re right. NO ONE can build a business alone.

      Thanks for coming by today,
      Melanie
