We are all Hybrid Moms, balancing and managing our every day chaos. The consummate Hybrid Mom, is a mom who can do it, certainly not perfectly, but who can also appreciate the ridiculousness of the every day AND laugh at it.
Starting, running and growing a business, absolutely has it's ups and downs - if it weren't for the laughs I truthfully do not know where I'd be. I assure you, I wouldn't be continuing to climb this mountain of what we hope to call...success.
The publisher of Hybrid Mom, Meryl, and I, took an unexpected trip to Florida last week. We were following the path to a person who had inquired about investing in the company. Of course we would have to go. If potential money calls - you go.
I book the flights the night before. We're up at 4am and down in Florida by 10. We get there and it's raining. Not just a little, but torrential. I rent a car so we can drive - it's a Kia. One that is manual everything - even that is just funny.
We start on the journey to find the house we need to go to. Through some rough neighborhoods (to say the least). We are lost now however the rain starts to let up. Suddenly we pass a sign of a storefront that says...Mo Money.
Even though it was a pawn shop and we were not in the best place in town, we had to get out and document just how funny this was.
This is Meryl in front of the sign...
We finally got to our destination. After 3 grueling hours of trying to pitch and ok...beg, for money - we left there with LESS than we actually had started with!
Yet another dead end. So we decided to drown our sorrows at a local bar. Which was filled with more laughs and good times.
So although we did not leave Florida with 'Mo Money', we did leave with great memories, and more reason to keep plugging along in the search to find someone who will ultimately want to be part of our grand idea - to allow moms to work without sacrificing their families. Someday soon, the sun will come out and the adventures will all be worth it - not just for the laughs, but for the greater good. And when that day happens, the person who ultimately invests and gives 'mo money', will be laughing AND smiling all the way to the bank - knowing that they have helped change the landscape for mother's who want it all.
Sorry - have to plug...
