Single Mom Revolution: Quest to Reach 100,000 Single Moms

Posted by: Honoree in Support, Success, Single Moms, In the News, Ideas, Getting Your Groove Back, Challenges and Solutions on Jun 22, 2009 Print PDF

My first two days (ok, YEARS) as a single mom were filled with doubt, fear, anxiety and buckets of tears. I didn't talk much about it, being a personal and business coach, as well as a motivational speaker and all. I kept it to myself, and the head noise got quite loud.

Eventually I realized what I was doing wasn't working ~ and, as a coach I was giving people advice I wasn't taking myself. When I started coaching myself, that's when things really started to turn around.

I created a million dollar business, wrote a book, and even bought a house in a country club. All as a single mom.

I noticed, however, that society doesn't view the single mom as a heroine, she's viewed as a victim. When described, we hear, "Awww, she's a single mom. That's too bad. Be sure not to hire her, because her kid might get sick. Don't date her, she just wants a new baby-daddy. Stear clear. And while we're at it, let's blame her for the problems of the world."

Whoa.

In my mind, I felt those were all the wrong assumptions. Who's more capable than a single mom? Who's better at time management? I'll tell you what, I'd take a single mom as my wing-woman any time!

As a matter of fact, I have one. She's helping me to lead the Single Mom Revolution. We're on a mission to change the way single moms see themselves, and the way the world sees them. You may know her as Modern Single Momma, and now she's Modern Married Momma. She's Morgan Day Cecil and she's fabulous! See what she has to say about our Revolution here.

We have lots of plans for single moms ~ we want them happy and successful and wealthy and healthy ~ right now! Tomorrow (6/23, 10 am PT/1 pm ET) we're launching The Single Mom Revolution Radio Show. We're having powerful, successsful single moms (and former single moms) on the show and we're committed to change, to empowering, enlightening, inspiring, motivating and transforming you, our fellow single mom. Our first guest is Ms. Single Mama, Alaina Sheer. She's just amazing and we're going to talk to her about her single-mom-fabulousness and what's coming up for her.

There's 11 million of us, and we're a force to be reckoned with. Are you in?

One admits that humen's life is not very cheap, but we require cash for different issues and not every person gets enough cash. Thus to receive good http://www.lowest-rate-loans.com and just consolidation loans should be a correct way out.

This couldn't come at a better time for me! As a single mom for the past 4 years, I've begun to get weary and wallowing instead of realizing my success and focusing on becoming a victory. I look forward to following what you have to offer.

Great idea! Empower Single Moms Everywhere!

I hope you'll let me comment here on your blog and also applaud your efforts even though I'm not a single mom. (Just want to be transparent. Although I'm not a single mom myself, I have lots of clients and friends, who are in your demographics!)

Anyhow, I think what you're doing is so great, and I'm rooting for you and all single moms out there. Go for it!
