Notes From A Junkie.

It took five years to gain the courage to actually do it.

It took three weeks of planning around my worst fears to do it.

But I did it.  Ten whole days without the internets.  No surfing.  No emailing.  These were the notes I took on a yellow legal pad in pencil while experiencing the Ultimate Out-Of-Office Experience:

Day 1:  What are you supposed to do in line at the grocery store without a blackberry??

Day 2:  While circling a parking lot waiting for a spot, toddler sighs and remarks, “I don’t have time for this.”  Can’t Twitter it.  Depressing. Read more

How much do you love that Money Smart Week is going on right after taxes are due?

I’m doing my first book signing!  My first book signing!  Since being profiled in A Cup of Cappucino For The Entrepreneur’s Spirit (Vol II), I will be speaking at Money Smart Week’s April 21 lunchtime event and signing copies of the book.  I’ve been practicing my autograph for weeks and I may have juuuuuust right by Wednesday.   (My husband actually asked me who I was seeing, what with the hearts that I started drawing around my own initials.)  Read more

Bumble Bells on Gwen Stefani’s Baby Zuma!

March 3rd, 2009 Write Comment about me.

We can’t believe it.

Our Bumble Bells have made it to Hollywood. Gwen Stefani has such good taste, too.

Pictured here is baby Zuma wearing one of our very own Bumble Bells!

Now I’m just hoping that we’ll get to outfit all her Harajuku Girls with these sterling silver baby anklets. They have tiny ankles, right?

(P.S. Click on the link above to see a close-up of the anklet as well as Perez Hilton’s comments about how stylin’ it is!)

Are you a Mom? Do you have a great idea for a business but don’t know where to start? Want to grow the business you’re already running?

You’ve come to the right place. Let’s get down to business.

Jill Salzman is The Momtrepreneur Maven. Jill started her career as an entrepreneur at the wise old age of 5 when she became CFO (Chief Five-Year Old) of her first lemonade stand. Since then, Jill has started up several of her own companies to much success and praise of buyers, clients and investors alike. After starting up several media companies, including the creation of two magazines and music media company Paperwork Media, Jill launched her biggest professional achievement to date: giving birth to a baby girl. Two months after her daughter was born, Jill started up the successful baby-based business, The Bumble Brand. The Bumble Brand’s success spawned several more successful baby-related ventures.

Throughout this busy and exciting time, Jill couldn’t help but notice that many fellow Moms had brilliant business ideas of their own–they just lacked the time and the help necessary to implement those ideas. With Jill’s honed business skills, she resolved to reach out and begin helping other Mommies realize their full entrepreneurial potential.

Do not hesitate to contact Jill with any questions. The Momtrepreneur Maven is here to help.
