Vancouver: Calling All Mompreneurs

We think Melissa’s secrets to success are worth sharing—first, identify a gap in the marketplace. The Goober Baby fabrics are pretty and fashionable, allowing Mom to express her own sense of style instead of getting lost in Winnie-the-Pooh land. Second, maintain “unshakeable faith”. Having their babies, she says, gave them all the confidence and inspiration they needed to believe they could succeed at their business.

One tangible symbol of the Goober mom’s vision is their ‘Universe Board’, a mounted wall calendar on which they’ve posted all their goals, big and small. Some of them may seem unachievable, Melissa says, but they get written up all the same—and they’re coming true, by golly, at a rate that’s testament to the power of positive thinking and lots of late nights .

It was William Arthur Ward who said “If you can dream it, you can become it”—but all across Canada, it’s mompreneurs who are proving it. Hats off to you all!
