MOMeoCommunity.com offers entrepreneurial support for mom-made businesses during the global recession and beyond
With a global economic recession in full swing, many moms are turning to the home-based business model for added financial security or as the direct result of a spousal job loss. Since the official start of the recession, 5.7 million people have lost their jobs in the US alone.
Add the fact that most home-based businesses are launched between the months of May and September when school and extracurricular activities slow down and we’re looking at a very entrepreneurial summer ahead.
Women are starting home-based businesses to support not only their families but their lifestyle and family-oriented value system. Lifestyle businesses are designed to give moms the freedom to have it all – work, family AND a little time for themselves!
“Sometimes women create new home based businesses out of necessity, but often it’s simply the result of the creative inspiration that comes from being a mom,” says MOMeoCommunity.com Founder and CEO Carla Young. “Most entrepreneurship starts from solving a problem and as moms, we experience challenges that men just plain don’t get.”
A prime example is MOMeo Magazine premiere issue cover story Jen Groover. Frustrated with navigating the grocery store with twins in tow and an awkward handbag, Groover built a multi-million dollar business based on her handbag meets dishwasher cutlery tray innovation.
“Mom entrepreneurs just starting out or looking to grow need support from other moms who get the reality of what it takes to balance work life and caring for young children,” says Young. “Succeeding as a mom entrepreneur is more than just adding more zeroes to your bank account because if your family isn’t happy, it’s for nothing.”
Young created a platform to help other mom entrepreneurs achieve success she has enjoyed raising her daughter and running a niche web copywriting agency from home. MOMeoCommunity.com, a social network with a twist, is a resource community where mom entrepreneurs can access peer and expert support from a host of business, lifestyle and parenting disciplines.
Over the summer months, MOMeo plans to launch a host of new support programs and tools for its mom entrepreneur members, including a MOMeo Marketplace where moms can both promote their own products and services and access a range of conveniences.

Mompreneurs Breaking Hearts of Corporate America with Launch of MOMEOCommunity.com

Sorry corporate world, but your flexible work weeks, “forgiving” policies on child sick days and extended parental absences aren’t enough. Moms everywhere are turning to the home-based business model for much more than a bit of “purse money.”
This Valentine’s Day marks the official beta launch of North America’s first social network just for busy Mompreneurs. MOMeoCommunity.com is a social network with a twist. Billed as an online resource community to help Mompreneurs succeed at work, life and play, MOMeoCommunity.com features experts from a host of business, lifestyle and parenting disciplines.
All across Canada and the US, hearts are breaking because moms are telling their bosses to “take this job and shove it,” and instead, choosing to stay home to raise their children AND build a business.
“The appeal of working from home is very enticing for moms because it gives them an opportunity to choose how and when they work, leaving them free to be there for their children,” says MOMeoCommunity.com Founder and CEO Carla Young, herself a work-at-home mother who knows full well the challenges and rewards of doing both.
“Home-based business isn’t such a dirty phrase anymore,” says Young, who was pleasantly surprised how many of her big name corporate clients easily made the shift to her parenting schedule to continue working with her after the birth of her daughter. “Most of my clients leave their corporate jobs and go home to their families so they get it.”
“Many moms thinking about starting a business don’t know where to start,” says Young who has built systems for managing both her business and her household. “Helping moms get over the fear and overwhelm of starting a home-based business was the inspiration behind the community.”
“Everything about the community, from the content to how our members access information, is designed around the busy lifestyle of the work-at-home mom,” says Young. “Community members can log in and choose to read articles online or download podcasts or teleclass audios to listen to later – maybe while working out at the gym or when traveling.”
