Mumprenuer - A Rising Trend

Mumprenuer (noun): A boss lady of a business which she started from scratch, and who is also a mother. Multitasking at its finest.

I met up with a Mumprenuer over coffee at Starbucks yesterday. This was our first ever meet up, and yet it felt like we knew each other for years. Our acquaintance started off from Facebook, where she first requested my friendship. I had been trawling Facebook for groups for like-minded mummies in similar circumstances as I am, looking to find a balance between earning an income and being there for their families. And I guess she saw some of my activity there and hence approached me. We had communicated via Facebook since.

What triggered this meetup was my recent sit-down with my boss. I told her how tired I was about being pulled at both ends. I am only human, I cannot possibly clone myself to be at work AND at home whenever family needs me. Family will always come first, family is everything to me. Oh how I envied her lifestyle, where she is the boss of her own business, a business where she can work whenever she wants to, be there for her family whenever she is needed, spend an enviable amount of time with her kids and still earn a sustainable income, no boss to answer to, to feel guilty to whenever you need that time off for certain family commitments. So I had to know more.

So over coffee we met and shared. Mini Interview that I had with her up next!
