New eMomsatHome.com Internet Home Business Magazine
Sep 13 2007
Wendy Piersall just announced her new site and new business model: eMomsatHome.com Internet Home Business Magazine. Congratulations Wendy! In my opinion, she is one of the best examples I’ve seen of an entrepreneur helping to shift our perceptions of what entrepreneurship means.
To follow up on my last post on time-saving tips for parents, she has an excellent post called 25 Parent Productivity Tools for busy Moms, Dads, and Kids that you should check out.
We are still finalizing the new blog design and corporate site for Babble Soft. It always seems to take to the very last minute to get projects done. According to the 4 Hour Work Week, there is something called Parkinson’s Law that defines this phenomena. “Parkinson’s Law dictates that a task will swell in (perceived) importance and complexity in relation to the time allotted for its completion. It is the magic of the imminent deadline.” I haven’t had time to finish this book, but will write about it when I do. Needless to say I think it’s taking me more than 4 hours just to get through the book! Well we have missed the first deadline (9/12) for the current projects for a variety of reasons, so even if I have to learn how to do website design/development (or beg my husband to help me) it will get done by the new deadline!
Oh, and did I mention our daughter has been home sick most of yesterday and today? She’s better today but I am keeping her home to let her rest. Being able to be with my kids when they need me and not being stressed about not going into work is a big reason why I like working from home and being an entrepreMuse. 🙂

How kind – thanks SO much Aruni! 🙂
BTW – I’d love to hear your take on how you think people have generally perceived entrepreneurship – and how you think I approach it differently (this is a very interesting observation you have made!!). 😉
Thanks for stopping by Wendy. I think this might be the first time you’ve commented on my blog. 🙂 Please check out my About page to see how I think entrepreneurship is defined and what I’m trying to do with this blog and my company to shift the definition.
Your post today http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2007/09/13/do-you-know-what-every-single-visitor-is-looking-for-when-they-visit-your-site/ is one example of why I think you approach entrepreneurship different. Usually people look at a market place as a pie. A pie that is one size and that as a company, person, business it is your job to get the biggest piece of pie which thereby translates into higher $$ value to you and your shareholders.
IMHO, what you and others (and I) aim to do is disrupt the notion of a defined pie size. We look at it and wonder ‘how can I help make this pie bigger so more and more people can taste it and enjoy it.’ I feel a shift going on in society, in business and I’m drawn to the people who are really starting to internalize ‘the more you give, the more positively you affect the world around you.’ Now, I also think that not everyone has reached a place in their life to feel the tingling sensations of this and even the best of us have up and down days…but if you have reached that place you must share so that more and more people can get to that place. It is the teacher and parent in all of us. We give and give to our children so they will give and give to the world and their children. I hope that makes sense. I will be doing a post on this in the near future.
