Mompreneur to Mom My Business Is A Family Business

MY BUSINESS IS A FAMILY BUSINESS

One of the best parts of being a work at home mom is that my business is a family business. Over the years, my boys (hubby and son) are always with me providing support, extra hands and lots of love.

Beyond the freedom and mobility that entrepreneurship brings, I value the life lessons that I am able to pass on to my son. I always tell him, “Your initials are literally CEO, but before you can be the boss of a business you have to be the boss of yourself. Take responsibility for you; motivate yourself to work hard and never wait for others to hold your hand.” As an entrepreneur I know firsthand the pitfalls that surround waiting too long vs the power of persistence and selfmotivation. In true mommy fashion, I’m hoping if I repeat these words often enough he’ll hear me even when I’m not around.

This year alone my son has traveled with me to Atlanta, Orlando, and Washington DC. I even got his passport ready for my Sweet Retreat in Montego Bay, Jamaica next year. Growing up in Brooklyn I've met too many young people whose minds and lives never leave the confines of the block they were born on. Beyond those things that I can teach him, I want him to be a student of the world. One of my soon to be realized goals is to help Chris become a student of the world, by taking him on at least one 30-90 day international excursion each year.

Having spent the last 16 years of my life as an entrepreneur, I've been able to experience firsthand the wealth of experiences you can provide to your children while they watch you build a business. He has already informed me of his own plans to open up a graphics and costume business and this momma couldn’t be more proud!

As a community we need to encourage our children to not only be workers, but business owners. I hope this is something I am able to instill in him. At the same time, I want him to see and understand healthy relationships, positive black parents and what it means to have an amazing supportive black male figure his father in his life, so that he can grow up and be all these things and more when he’s an adult and father to his own children.

I love what I do and serving an amazing community of entrepreneurs online. I feel blessed knowing I can enjoy this crazy ride called entrepreneurship with my boys. What I've got is truly a family business and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Giving Thanks“ Thank you. Thank you for following me and for finding value in what I do online. Thank you for choosing my web services and supporting my online business. Thank you for sending me kind words of encouragement throughout the year. Thank you for the hundreds of blessings you’ve sent me for me and my family. I wish you prosperity, positivity, and all that you desire as God has planned for you. More to come. –LaShanda Henry
