Winning Business

SavvyMom is a company run by moms, for moms. We understand what it’s like to start out small (read: two of us working in a home office) and grow to a team of 14 across the country. Yes, we’re proud, but it’s not all about us today.

It’s about all the other mom-run businesses that support us, and whom we support through programs like the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award and our new Well on Their Way program. Because that’s what moms do. We support each other.

Let’s look at the winner of the 2010 Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award as an example of that kind of support. We’re pleased to announce that Laura Berg, owner and operator of My Smart Hands, is this year’s winner of the $22,000 prize designed to take her business to the next level. My Smart Hands aims to educate young minds by offering classes and products that teach parents to communicate with their babies through ASL sign language, eliminating much of the frustration babies and toddlers experience when not able to communicate. 

Among a field of over 250 nominees this year, Laura tallied up the greatest number of votes through the support of her business contacts and social network. That includes all those families who benefited from her classes and products who were happy to support her in her efforts by casting a simple vote. That is the power of what we call ‘word of mom’.

Laura is not alone as a mom entrepreneur in her quest to help parents and children. A group of six mom entrepreneurs have recently come together and developed a program (and contest) called Well on Their Way. The goal is to create awareness of products that are designed—all in their own particular way—to reinforce wellness while children are growing and developing. Kids grow up fast, but there are a few things we can do to help ensure that they are ‘Well on Their Way’ to success while they grow. This collection of carefully selected products made by moms ranges from helmet covers to allergy labels to indoor jungle gyms.

Learn more about the contest and enter for your chance to win the Well on Their Way Grand Prize valued at over $1,000.00.

So send some of that love back to the mom entrepreneurs by spreading the word about the contest. We like to call it sharing the ‘word of mom’, and you’re very good at it.

We know because you helped us get where we are today.

P.S. A warm welcome to all our new subscribers who joined us through voting in the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award. We’re glad to have you with us.
