		<description><![CDATA[I came across this post by Tim Ferriss, author of one of my favorite books <em>The Four Hour Work Week</em>. Tim inspires me because of his philosophies about life and business, so I like to read what he has to say (and I recommend his book if you are looking for ideas on how to run a successful business and  travel the world without working ungodly hours).

Of course, having kids adds a whole new dimension to all of this, but as soon as I figure out how to pair being a mompreneur and traveling the world, will certainly share it on this blog.

Anyway, he recently posted about the new book coming out from the owners of 37Signals, a company whose products I use regularly, and I wanted to share because there are some great insights captured in the excerpts that Tim shares here on his blog. In particular, I like the section on saying "no", something we as mompreneurs must learn to master over time and a lesson I seem to learn the hard way every week :).

		<description><![CDATA[If you're an experienced mompreneur or you're just starting out, you have heard about blogging and you know it's something you need to do, if you're not already doing it. However, there are ways to run a successful blog that you'll want to consider whether you're just getting started or you've been running a blog for a while.

Learn from Joel Spolsky, who built a very successful blog and business, called Joel on Software.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I have had the opportunity to talk with several moms who are in the process of starting their own business. Like me, they want to be able to create their own hours and work on projects that really inspire them. Even though each of the moms I talked to had different business plans and areas of focus, the one thing that was common among all was the feeling of overwhelm they have when it comes to creating their online presence. Of course, that challenge is not specific to mompreneurs. I think every small-to-midsize business owner feels that same sense each and every day.

One mom asked me pointedly "How Do I Learn All This Stuff?". That is a great question, and my answer is "You don't." It's not possible to learn and know it all, and as a business owner, you don't need to. You DO need to have a general sense of what's going on in the world of social media and marketing, but you do not need to become an expert in all of the specifics. You also DO need to have a<strong> clear plan</strong> (with the caveat that it will need to be somewhat flexible because things will change as you learn and grow in your business).

		<description><![CDATA[Jason Alba, creator of <a href="http://jibberjobber.com">JibberJobber.com</a> and a LinkedIn expert, recently wrote a blog post that I found really helpful. As a mompreneur, it's easy to get discouraged, I think, when you're working on your own, trying to build a business and sometimes asking "What am I doing?"

Here's a bit of what Jason wrote. Be sure to <a href=""http://jasonalba.com/2009/05/26/courage-and-the-entrepreneur"" target=""_blank"">read the entire post here</a>...
