As a mompreneur mentor, I offer a lot of advice, and if you’d ask me, “what’s the one thing you tell moms over and over again to succeed in motherhood and in their business?”, I’d tell you it is this: “invest in yourself!” There is a lot of fear around money and a lot of us …
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
It feels like yesterday when I found out I was going to be a mom for the first time. Having a child is such a defining moment and one in which you are overwhelmed with so many emotions. It is absolutely mind-blowing that my September girls, once bald-and-just-a-little-over-six-lbs babies, just turned 12 and 13… I have a teenage …
Today, it’s all about my favorite marketing and communication tool: E-mail. Surprised? While social media is fabulous and I use it every single day – even on the Sabbath – I know you would agree that if you are in business (or want to get up to speed to the century, really), then you need …
I think everyone associates certain smells with happiness, and for me, having grown up surrounded by mountains, the fresh smells of nature are near and dear to my heart.

Most entrepreneurs start a business because they get tired of trading hours for dollars. When I quit 9-to-5 ten years ago to start working from home, what I longed for was the freedom to “BE THERE” to influence my children, impact other people with my skills, and generate the income that could afford us a …
We all have dreams, wishes, and great ideas, yet everyone I know who is wealthy, healthy, and happy, AKA successful at making their dreams come true believes in – and practices – the power of goal-setting. Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think And Grow Rich” {and unarguably the “father of personal development”} once said that …
Albert Einstein once said that “there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Last month, my family experienced a miracle, and the thing about miracles is that they emerge from a mess. The bigger the mess, the bigger …
It was 3 a.m. when we arrived home, and I was so exhausted I literally went directly into my bedroom, jumped in bed, and passed out. The drive from San Antonio was about 6 hours, and although Taylor Bare drove the whole time, I was struggling to keep awake and “entertain him” with my sleepy …
