		<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[This Thanksgiving, I hope you are able to be with the people you love and take time to appreciate the wonderful gifts in your life.  And, if you're a mom in business and you're already successful, then congratulations and I wish you continued success. If you're a mom that is new in business or you're struggling right now, then I just want to say to you -- <strong>Hang in there. Keep going. Don't give up and hold onto your dreams and goals. They can happen if you stay focused and believe that they can.</strong>  <a href="http://www.websavvymoms.com/miscellaneous/thankful/">Read more...</a>]]></description>

		<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>...

"<strong>Sometimes I think I'm nuts.</strong> Even though I'm more sane than others.  But seriously, what am I thinking, doing my own business? Where's the safety net in that??]]></description>
