What advice can you offer to other
mothers who are looking to start a
business?

What motivates you?

Research is your friend. It’s not enough to have
a great idea, or even to be willing to work hard you have to know who your competition is and
why you are different. The same is true whether
you are involved in a NonProfit or a for-profit
business.

Is there a charity or organization you
volunteer for and/or support and why?

What was the biggest struggle you
encountered when starting your
business?
I still struggle with finding the time and focus to
accomplish everything I want to accomplish …
being the primary caregiver to three awesome
kids and my own husband mean that my
priorities don’t always leave time for business. I
still struggle to find the right balance, but find it
becomes easier as time goes on.

Tell us what a typical day looks like in
your household?

Taking care of my family, providing for my family,
and pursuing something that is all my own.

I support Monkey Do - they work to support
the children and families in Appalachia. I also
support the Autism Society of Indiana as well
as A.S.K. (About Special Kids) here in Indiana
and have served as a parent mentor with AS ˂
