Experiences of entrepreneurial moms

How they came to become entrepreneurs,

here are some testimonials ....

1.- Natalia Pacheco, owner of EmanArt tells me that often left her daughter aside for work in his office, unfortunately had to miss great moments and important events, that only those who are parents, as the performance of Mother's Day, come when he slept, becoming a mother almost absent. For my work, I just knew the time of admission to it, but never out, campaigns usually arrive late, leaving the agency after 2 am and the next day you enter on the same schedule as always.

I started to devote to art because it earned little more than the minimum, although studied over 5 years, unfortunately, this does not weigh in demanding a better income, this is reflected strongly with my male counterparts, because sometimes I doubled or tripled their pay and without a title like the one I have.

I like art and that is why I started my venture based on the children, my art is going towards his room, the bedroom is a room for them, I love painting, has been very rewarding for me and for my daughter, because I can supplement my passion with my role as mother and now my role as a businesswoman.

That is your business?

My endeavor is about creating alternative courses in interior design for children, whether decorative accessories or furniture such as shelves, tables, chairs or benches. I am currently designing their own lines with bright colors and according to the needs of these important customers.

What more did it cost?

What has cost me more that people values ​​the work, generally, people believe that because you do art, it is worth less, which does not, as it is a job like any other, is more involved sacrifice, love and passion

As you have been to announce your products and art?

Initially only sold to friends and acquaintances, then I did my website, business cards and finally grow up us through Facebook, doing promotions, we participated in a special fair, it is best that clients are recommending your work.

2.- Maria Teresa Leiva Cessap Handmade Soap Owner Pailalén Soap, which in Mapuche language means "Being at peace with the Earth", this story of entrepreneurship and gently began during the pregnancy of my son Hernan, a day reading was good for stretch marks that formed by the stretching of the skin by pregnancy, I discovered the properties of various plants and flowers on the way to a girl I bought some handmade soaps to give away and I came to, I discovered that Gotu Kola, which is wonderful for preventing stretch marks, I started to download information and began to prepare soaps.

After the birth of my son, I returned to work, I am a Business Analyst Accounting in Industrial Security, since I came back I stepped up production, not because I want to leave my son, who at present is 9 months old to worry 100% of it, be my own boss, not having to endure unpleasant situations with colleagues of the company that currently is one of the situations I'm most stressed in the office.
