How To Be A Successful Mompreneur
Tara was a 16-year old single mother of two in the Central California Valley. She defied the odds and completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology at California State University. She lost 60 pounds, left an abusive marriage, and graduated from the Berkeley School of Law.
As a 25-year-old single mom, Tara hadn’t worked in three years and had only $3,000 to her name. Nevertheless, she triumphed in the expensive real estate market and successfully purchased her first home. Today, Tara is a successful attorney, real estate broker, and business owner, and Author of ‘The Savvy Woman’s Homebuying Handbook’.
Our featured guest in this episode of Small Business Trends Radio is Tara-Nicholle Nelson, Chief Visionary of (RE)ThinkRealEstate.com Tara provides inspiration and tips on how to become a successful mompreneur.
For instance, did you know that:
- Women make 91% of homebuying decisions — Like it or not, women make the bulk of decisions regarding buying and running a household. They are already born organizers, leaders, and mentors. When these assets are applied to business, success lies in wait.
- It’s important to think your strategy through — How do you spend your time? What type of schedule do you keep? It’s important to take this into consideration when developing your business around your lifestyle – so that it can be successful. And networking with other mompreneurs is essential for support and advice, two very important aspects for women.
- It takes organized systems, habits, boundaries and acceptance — All are trademark qualities that every successful mompreneur retains. Systems are set ways to perform repetitive tasks, learn to delegate and ask for help. Habits are essential to maintain to reduce stress – exercise, days off, and sleep, inspire insights. Guarded boundaries – set and keep them between business and personal life. Then accept your success, you deserve it.
With her personal experiences to pull from, Tara-Nicholle Nelson offers inspiration and mindset strategies that assist women in tapping into their leadership qualities to reach their aspirations – and become the successful mompreneur they are already naturally programmed to be.

I agree, excellent show Tara. I know a lot of women who are interested in mompreneurship and I will be sure to inform them of your show. Your story is very inspirational and I especially agree with this statement: “Women make 91% of homebuying decisions.” So true. I believe that women are born leaders.
