The Ultimate Mompreneur: Julie Aigner-Clark Gets Her Start
| |
| She never wanted to run her own business; she just wanted to be the best mom she knew how to be.

Julie Aigner-Clark might not have predicted her own success with her Baby Einstein series of videos, but she was certainly happy to roll with it.

| |
| “Before Baby Einstein, I was an English major in college and after that I was a teacher in high school and left when I had my first baby,” says Aigner-Clark. “At that time, there was nothing that existed that was fun educational videos for babies. That is when I realized that there was a need in the market place and best of all I was my own customer.” |

Up In Smoke
| |
| Recently, I saw two attractive teenage girls smoking cigarettes. I watched them and it was obvious that they were new smokers. As a father who has watched two of his daughters go through the pains of death trying to quit smoking, I wanted to give the two young women a warning and a lecture. I didn’t do it, because they could rightfully have said it was none of my business. As an employer, I looked at those two girls and knew that it would definitely jeopardize their opportunities for getting some jobs. Many companies do not hire smokers. I looked at them as future parents and knew what that smoke would do to their babies, should they continue to smoke and ever become mothers. |

Nothing Happens until someone Sells something!
| |
| What does it really mean to sell something? An idea, a dream, our values, an opinion, or ones self interests? Selling is simply: a transfer of enthusiasm and trust in someone or something. With this trust is born a responsibility and commitment to honor that trust, and do so willingly, no matter how challenging.

August Zen? Living in the Moment
| |
| This time of year, many of us are either awaiting a vacation, just back from one, or can’t remember when we last took one. It’s easy to feel conflicted. You can almost hear the voices in people’s heads: Why am I here? I should be enjoying the last rays of sun! How can I enjoy my vacation when my desk looks like this? Why can’t we be like the Europeans and take the summer off?

SERVICES SELLING I DIDNT RAISE YOU TO BE A SALESMAN
| |
| By Mike Schultz and John Doerr
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be salesboys
Don't let 'em sell siding or drive them big trucks
Have 'em be consultants and accountants and such.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be salesboys
'Cause they'll never stay home or they're on their cell phone
Even with family around.
With all due apologies to Willie Nelson, I am sure this was the sentiment of most of our parents. Yes, be a lawyer or accountant or even (heaven forbid) a consultant, but please don't ever come home and declare, “Mom, I found my calling. I am going to be a salesperson!”

The simplest idea can make the best business
| |
| Babylicious was the first brand of frozen babyfood to launch in the UK and is now the latest producer in Europe. The idea behind Babylicious was simple, as a mother of 2 small children founder Sally Preston wanted to give me babies the best possible food, no salt, additive or fillers, just good quality food. She discovered the only way to do this was to make it herself as jars and cans were very heavily processed and tasted terrible. There was huge market opportunity to provide quality frozen food for babies, so she did it herself! |

The Toy Tycoon: The Early Years of Beanie Babies Founder Ty Warner
| |
| He dropped out of Kalamazoo College to sell stuffed toys. It might not have been the most promising of starts, but when the young Ty Warner decided to start his own line of stuffed animals, he wound up taking children across the country – and their allowances – by storm. Beanie Babies were affordably priced, and with their cute individual names, Warner found himself sitting on top of a gold mine.
|
|
|
Lesson #1: Tease Your Customers into Wanting More
| |
| Warner did not spend any money on advertising for any of his product lines, not even the ever popular Beanie Babies. He did not have to. Instead, he pursued a novel and cost-effective strategy of teasing and taunting his customers into wanting more. |

Hoping For A Meaningful Change
| |
| Babies are helpless little critters who need their forebears to take care of every aspect of their lives. Mom and Dad need to feed the baby, clothe the baby, bathe the baby, shelter the baby, teach the baby, and save money so they can educate the baby and help the baby get a good start in life. And regularly, when the baby (who can't do ANY of this for himself) gets stinky, he needs Mom and Dad to change his smelly pants.... |
