As I sit here with three of Tamara Monosoff's books, which I have read cover to cover, I think that the most outstanding part of what she has provided me is moral support. Although I do not know her personally, I feel as though I do. In all of her books, she has captured exactly what I would feel as I go through each phase of the process. From, `Your husband may not get it at first' to, `Six excuses for not making a business plan' she seem to know exactly what I am experiencing.
From her latest book, Your Million Dollar Dream, I think the part that spoke to me the most was "Focus on Providing Value" starting on page 96. That is exactly what motivates me. Although it may be a long time before I make a single dime, in the mean time, I can freely provide something of value that is in line with the mission of my product and my company. If I truly believe that my product will solve a problem, then I can think about that problem in many creative ways and also offer tips or free services that also address that same issue. That is exactly what I had started to do, but it was wonderful to get confirmation, reassurance and further motivation from her book. Helping people is what motivates me, and her book validated that as a positive step toward building my dream. In such a corporate world that focuses on only the bottom line, I love that I can have a mom business that does much more! What I love most about being a mom with a business dream is that I can make it more than just a bottom line...although I suppose I should have one of those too! Thank you Tamara!
