A ‘MOMpreneurs’ who does it right

In November 26, 2010’s Vancouver Sun, an article introduced me to the term ‘MOMpreneur’. Mompreneurs are moms that carry out tasks that every other mother does, such as taking their kids to school and picking them up, caring for the kids when they are sick, as well as

playing with them when they get home. However, one thing sets these mompreneurs aside from regular soccer moms, and that is moms strive to reach their entrepreneur dreams. Take Julie Kelly for example. Kelly is a mother of two and has the daily routine of seeing her kids off to school and welcoming their return after school. The period between those two actions is where Kelly carries out with her business named Chilly Dogs. Her business is making clothing for large dogs, such as Great Danes, to keep these massive beasts warm during the winter. Although her business is small, Kelly’s Chilly Dogs home company is certainly successful with 25 per cent growth every year for the past decade. This comes to show that entrepreneurs can be anyone and still be successful if done with the right procedures.
