As a Momtrepreneur, the best part of my life is getting to
interact with many resourceful entrepreneurs, and exchange notes with them. I
love listening to how passionate they are about their work, and their journey
always intrigues me.
Today I had two conversations with 2 momtrepreneurs, and
both left me energised.
The first Momtrepreneur was someone who I was interviewing
for my series on this blog, “Interviews with Momtrepreneurs”. I usually send
across a list of questions, which the person has to answer and write back.
However, this momtrepreneur insisted that she wanted to talk to me.
As we spoke, she told me, how no pre-set list of questions
would be able to capture the essence of her story. It’s important that you and I
have a chat. That’s how you would be able to understand my journey better, and
put it across in the best way possible to inspire many!
I paused, and was amazed at this idea. Why hadn’t I thought
of this before? I loved the idea of a personal connect. We had an insightful
conversation, and came away with tons of insights. Keep watching this space for
a brilliant interview with this MBA turned artist!
My next meeting was with someone, who had reached out to me
for inputs on Coaching and Facilitation. She was looking to reinvent her career
from digital marketing. I didn’t know her personally, and had responded to her
query on an expat forum. As I reached, I found a pleasant eager face, a 3 month
baby in her arms, with loads of enthusiasm and questions about this field.
I loved the fact, that she wanted to spend more time with
her kids (her toddler was at home with her helper), but at the same time was
concerned with carving a niche for herself. She called herself the self-doubting
type, but she seemed so sure of each question she asked.
And as we discussed
about Coaching, many related things, I came away inspired with her focus, and
determination to move ahead.
We can all inspire each other, and these two women did just
that to me. I came away with a changed perspective on myself, my business, and
how I can approach my work. And I am sure that they didn’t intend to do any of
that. But that’s the power of these interactions. And I am so grateful for
them.
More Power to these and the many Momtrepreneurs around!
