"Mama, we have a problem."
It is a play on the famous "Houston, we have a problem," referring to the 1970 flight of Apollo 13. Approximately 56 hours into the mission, an oxygen tank exploded, knocking the power of the order of modules, lighting and water supply. Astronaut James Lovell to mission control about the problem, adding that the oxygen away from the spacecraft. The mission of the sudden change of landing on the moon to get the astronauts back alive. The crew and mission control gets very creative about doing what seemed impossible: to get home safely by men. Teamwork, creativity and determination throughout the trip. It is their commitment to success, the belief that failure is not an option, who guided the men safely home.
Why am I sharing this bit of history in reference to being a Mompreneur? Because when faced with obstacles, you need the same drive and determination to succeed.
When I started executing stroller, failure is not an option. This is my only chance to have my baby home instead of returning to traditional full-time job. I was determined to do whatever I need to do to succeed. I created the business plan, not for every investor, but for myself and my wife. I need to prove it can work. I have the attitude that no matter what obstacles get in the way I (and many of them do), I can find my way around it, over or under it. But I make it to the other side. I know it is very painful for me to be away from my baby for 10 hours a day, and I was extremely aware of the satisfaction I get from working from home and bring it to work with me .
Moms, get to know the business you experience challenges. Challenges are sometimes seem impossible to overcome. But which one will, one way. I love reading about other entrepreneurs who transformed failure into success.
Did you know that Mickey Mouse was made only after Walt Disney lost the rights of pride and joy character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? Remember, Disney said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Did you know that the light bulb Thomas Edison fail a few times before he got 2000 to work? When asked how many times he fails, he replied, "I was disappointed I just found another way not to invent the light bulb."
Did you know that Mary Kay Ash was told by her consulting business model does not work and that he has to close before he broke? His quote: "Every failure, obstacle or hardship an opportunity in disguise Success in many cases is the failure of the reverse .."
It took inspiration from some of mompreneurs now?

think he got his big break when a big company is interested in any baby products. The company decided quickly the product is not acceptable. Pellei back to the drawing board, creating better products and to close the deal. He says he does not forget that initial impulse to refuse to fail. Pellei is the proud recipient of the award Business Baby Shower.
Joann Wooley,
Sign4Baby
founder, says the biggest obstacle is balancing the mother with a weak economy. Reorganization to adjust to the needs of the business does not fit with his goals for the mother. He stayed true to its mission to be a mother first and foremost, and a loyal customer following and fill in the new class.
Elke Govertsen can not get financing for
Mamalode
business because her husband took the first loan. He did not let a little thing like money hold her back! Rather than produce a prototype for printed magazine, he created a media kit and start selling something that does not exist. It worked! Sales increased 800 percent in the past two months, from $ 350 to $ 2800 per month for the website only. Print sales also growing. Govertsen said, "still seems the sales ads is a great vehicle for growth if your readers are business market wants."
Tobi Kosanke of
Crazy K Farm
not set to become an entrepreneur. A scientist by trade, he is the great example of the saying "necessity is the mother of invention." He wants his career as a geologist, but his employer did not support when he needs to take care of a special needs daughter. He was forced to make a decision between her job or her schedule flexible. He created the family farm business, which allows her to stay home and care for their families. With the success of his business, Kosanke proud to give back to the community and donate a portion of profits to charity.
Just think about the possibilities if you take every challenge as an opportunity though. When you are faced with obstacles in life or in business, changes in pressure in creativity. Solutions are rarely clear. Just have faith that a solution. Or failing that can lead to something better. To achieve the highest level of success, step.
