Have you ever wanted to start your own business?


I did! I was working crazy hours as a publicist in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. I had a dream job with all of the perks. Seriously, I got hair & make up done for free. Rubbed elbows with VIPs at cocktail parties etc. BUT, I had a baby and a kindergartner and I was missing out! So I quit and wrote my novel, Social Climbers. It was a grueling process with ups and downs. Stress, rejection-you name it. I wish I had had an online resource like the one that is launching tomorrow. emompreneurs is for any of you that want to start a business from home and don't know where to start. One of my lucky readers will win 1 free month with them. The contest ends Friday December 4th. To enter simply leave me a comment that you would like to be entered. Good luck! click here to learn more!

    Congrats to the winner of your giveaway! I hope you and the family had a very Happy Thanksgiving! I still give you so much credit for taking the risk of giving up your career for writing you novel and being with your children. It has all paid off and was so worth it! xoxo

    That is really great. And good for you! Free facials are hard to give up. Or, so I've heard. And then to go and write a book! You make it sound easy. ;-)

    I would love to win! I left my high profile job to stay at home with our baby. Don't miss the job, but do miss the money.
    Don't get me wrong, I love every minute of being at home with him, I would just like to help out with our income so my husband doesn't have to do it all.

    That's a great giveaway! I studied a lot in grad school about starting my own business...just a little uneasy about the economic climate!
