Throwback Thursday: Being a Full-Time Mom Isn’t a Real Job

by Kristen King on February 21st, 2008

How many times have we heard that over the last several decades? But if motherhood isn’t a job, I guess these aren’t critical business skills:

• Consensus building
• Negotiations
• Multi-tasking
• Project management
• Presentations and public speaking
• Coaching and mentorship
• Prioritizing
• Strategic planning

Friend and client Amy Smith, who runs her own PR firm while raising her three sons, and has  is proving to doubters everywhere that motherhood really is a business — and a worthwhile one at that. Her Business of Motherhood website and accompanying Mom-Tini Lounge are full of great tools, advice, and support for businessmoms. And Amy was recently featured on Fox News!

Thanks, Amy, for setting the world straight on parenting as a legitimate business.
