While I love doing the "Mompreneur Tango" most of the summer (our system for getting work done without childcare), I occasionally hire a babysitter to break up the monotony of the weeks. But when I do, I set some clear expectations about how I want things to go with my kids so that they are happy and fulfilled when we have our sitter with us. Today I'll share some tips on how to make the most of your babysitter when you decide to get some help with child care.

You've probably been hearing about social media everywhere, from the TV news to the local paper. In today’s unprecedented business environment, you need to avail yourself of every opportunity to reach out and touch your target market, and build business relationships in ways you never previously imagined. Especially in an economic downturn, an effective communications strategy is key. It’s a whole new world out there when it comes to marketing your services. As a small business owner and Mompreneur you have the ability to offer what the bigger players can't--a personal, authentic connection directly with your prospects. Welcome to the world of Social Media Marketing--where you connect with people who are interested in you and your services through conversation and relationship-building. On today's teleseminar, Lara Galloway, The Mom Biz Coach, will ask Christine Gallagher of CommunicateValue.com to share her strategies for applying social media techniques to your own business without getting overwhelmed. Learn how to connect with your ideal clients and customers, attract interest and attention to what it is you offer and Facebook and Tweet like a pro. Christine will also discuss how to avoid the social "time-suck," how to decide which tools are right for you and how to position yourself as the go-to expert in your niche. Come find out how to transform your business by becoming a part of the conversation! This is the ninth teleseminar in the WoMEN: What Mom Entrepreneurs Need teleseminar series offered by Lara Galloway.

I've been answering a lot of questions in my coaching groups lately about the idea of creating a sustainable business model for mom entrepreneurs and work at home moms. The bottom line is this: if you're running a business that is running you ragged, stressing you out, taking up all of your time and leaving very little of you for your family to enjoy, then you (and your business) won't last for long. One of the best ways to make your business sustainable is to learn how to automate some of the actions and processes you do over and over. We all have to develop strategies to find new clients and keep our sales pipelines full. This takes a lot of time, effort and energy.Think about it--if you could get these tasks that you have to do repeatedly off your to-do list, you could spend your time doing something else, like go on a bike ride with the kids, or read a magazine while the kids run through the sprinkler, or you could spend some time creating a vision for the future of your business rather than just scrambling through all the work that has to get done. Wanna learn some tricks that will help you get your business working while you're working on your tan this summer? Join me on Tuesday, June 23rd, at 12 pm ET when my special guest, Rhonda Hess, teaches us "How to Automate Your Business to Attract Thousands of Ideal Clients." Rhonda is a Coaching Business Success Strategist and founder of Prosperous Coach. Best of all, she's MY business coach! I'm delighted to share my fabulous coach and mentor with all of my listeners.
