MOM, Incorporated

According to research, there are more than 10 million women who own and lead their own businesses.  Entrepreneur Aliza Sherman (founder of Cybergrrl, Inc.) and blogger Danielle Smith (founder of ExtraordinaryMommy.com) have joined forces to write a book that helps women who are already moms (or are thinking about becoming moms in the future) learn how to take charge of the family/work balance by starting their own businesses.  As more women become “mompreneurs,” there is an increased need for a book that covers all aspects of how moms can successfully start and run a business that allows them to make money, pursue a profession, and have time to devote to the kids as well.  This practical, user-friendly book draws on Aliza and Danielle's own experiences, and their interviews with moms who've started their own successful businesses.  In addition, Aliza has interviewed numerous business experts about funding for women, and the book includes valuable information about the current alternative sources of funding for female entrepreneurs.  Also, in sidebars throughout the book, Aliza addresses women who don't have children yet but are planning for it down the road and want to know how to combine having a family with running their own business.
