Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tracy Lombardi, Founder of Mastering Mompreneurship LLC, located in Kahului, HI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Mastering Mompreneurship is an online platform that offers a unique nurturing educational experience sharing best practice knowledge, consulting, inspiring, and empowering moms to build their dream business. Our clients are mostly moms (but we work with everyone) who want to follow their dreams and passions but just don't know how to get started - we help with that! Additionally, we offer services for existing small businesses, such as re-branding, website design, social media marketing, and more. You can get started with our online Mom to Mom Boss Mini Course or hire us to help you get it done, no matter where you live in the USA. We want to help you fulfill your business dreams!
Tell us about yourself
I have been an entrepreneur (or mompreneur) for 20+ years. I have a ton of experience in starting and running small businesses. I've been helping and advising clients for years on how to start their own businesses, ways to be more effective, aligning values, and more. It brings me great joy to inspire and empower someone and help them realize and bring their small business dreams to life. I am their very own virtual cheerleader. You've got this!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I've earned many awards over the past 20+ years as an entrepreneur, but that is not what I deem as my biggest accomplishment. Rather, I feel that fulfilling my own purpose of empowering and encouraging others to find inspiration and joy in their lives is and will continue to be my biggest accomplishment.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Change can be a big challenge for business owners. Whether it is finding a new manager, adjusting to online sales, or being flexible when the market trends shift - these can all be challenging. But, if you can be open to change and evolve with your business, the challenges become less difficult. Always keep growing and evolving - ask questions, be curious about what your clients think about your business, care about your employees, learn about new trends, and always be passionate about your business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- It's okay to not know something - there are a LOT of things to learn about when starting a new business, and you cannot be expected to know it all. Just don't "wing it" and hope it will all turn out alright. Ask an expert or take a course on how to start your business (we offer a mini-course on this).
- Make sure your business idea is focused enough - know your niche and your target clients.
- Building a solid foundation for your business is key! Do the foundational work before you file your LLC paperwork... it'll be worth it!
