MIRACULOUSLY NO ONE ON THE
GROUND WAS HURT.
NTSB INVESTIGATORS SPENT THE
DAY AT THE CRASH SITE.
THIS WEEKEND, WE CELEBRATED
MOM WITH MOTHER'S DAY.
TODAY, WE ARE CELEBRATING
MOMPRENEURS OR MOM OWNED
BUSINESSES.
ROD CARTER JOINS ME.
YOU CAUGHT UP WITH A COUPLE OF
WOMEN WHO HAVE FOUND A WAY TO
MIX BUSINESS AND MOTHERHOOD,
AND MAKE IT ALL WORK.
IS QUITE THE TASK.
WE ALL KNOW MOM CAN DO IT.
THEY TAKE CARE OF ALL ASPECTS
OF WORK AND HOME AND
MOMPRENEURS ARE NO EXCEPTION.
OF THE WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES,
IT IS ESTIMATED ABOUT ONE AND
THREE ARE OWNED BY MOMS.
THAT IS MORE THAN 3 MILLION.
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE A
DAUGHTER WITH LARGE FEET.
Reporter: WHEN COLETTE
GLOVER-HANNAH'S DAUGHTER WAS
LITTLE, SHE FACED A CHALLENGE.
MY DAUGHTER'S FOOT SIZE
MATCHED HER AGE FROM 6 TO 11
YEARS OLD.
Reporter: SO SHE TOOK A
GIANT STEP THREE YEARS AGO AND
STARTED AN ONLINE STORE OF HER
OWN CALLED HANNAH'S SHOEBOX FOR
AGE-APPROPRIATE SHOES IN LARGER
SIZES.
IT HAS BEEN A GODSEND FOR
PARENTS TRACY.
MY DAUGHTER IS 11 YEARS OLD
AND EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN'T
WEAR A PARTICULARLY LARGE SIZE,
GOING TO A STORE WAS ALWAYS
PROBLEMATIC.
Reporter: BEING A BUSINESS
OWNER MEANS JUGGLING.
YOU CAN DO THE TOMATOES.
Reporter: WORK AND FAMILY.
AS A MOMPRENEUR, NOT WITH JUST
A DAUGHTER BUT TWO SONS AND A
HUSBAND TO LOOK OUT FOR.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA JUST HOW
BIG OF AN IMPACT WOMEN-OWNED
BUSINESSES HAVE IN FLORIDA, UP
IN THE AIR 2012, 5.6% OF ALL
FINANCES GENERATED IN THIS
STATE WERE GENERATED BY WOMEN-
OWNED BUSINESSES.
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALL MOM
OWNED BUSINESSES, THAT IS A
PRETTY GOOD IMPACT.
IN FACT, IT'S AN A $5.5 BILLION
IMPACT.
COLETTE HASN'T REGRETTED ONE OF
THE CHOICE SHE MADE.
I LOVE WHAT I DO.
I HAVE SUCH PASSION FOR IT.
Reporter: TIO YOUNG IS
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MOMS MAKING
IT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.
THE MOMPRENEUR OF THE YEAR OWNS
TIO YOUNG IMAGE AND ETIQUETTE.
SHE STARTED HER BUSINESS IN THE
WAKE OF 9/11.
I WAS ON LEAVE AS A FLIGHT
ATTENDANT.
9/11 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON
MATERNITY LEAVE. Reporter:
LIKE COLETTE, THE PAST 15 YEARS
HAVE BEEN ABOUT BALANCE FOR
THIS MOM OF THREE.
IT'S NOT EASY.
Reporter: SHE ENCOURAGES
MOMS WHO MIGHT BE MAKING THAT
LEAP.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR
FAMILY DOESN'T FEEL LEFT OUT
BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH
FOR YOUR BUSINESS. Reporter:
AND MORE AND MORE WOMEN ARE
STRIKING THE BALANCE ACCORDING
TO A CENSUS BUREAU.
HERE IN FLORIDA THERE WERE
800,000 WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES
AND 227,005 YEARS EARLIER.
THAT IS AN INCREASE OF 39%.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, MY
PRIMARY ROLE ON THIS EARTH IS
TO BE SOMEBODY'S MOM.
Reporter: AND STRIKE A
BALANCE BETWEEN MOMPRENEUR AND
HOME, A FOOTPRINT OF SUCCESS
SHE HOPE FOR KIDS FOLLOW.
SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START A
BUSINESS.
DEVELOP A SCHEDULE THAT ALLOWS
YOU TO FOCUS DURING YOUR WORK
TIME AND CONSIDER HIRING
SOMEONE WHO TO CLEAN THE HOUSE,
A PART-TIME ASSISTANT OR
SOMEONE AND DEVELOP A SUPPORT
SYSTEM WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
TO HELP WITH CHILDCARE.
OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO DO ALL
THOSE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH
STARTING A BUSINESS.
EITHER RESOURCES IF A WOMAN
SEES THIS STORY AND THINKS I
HAVE A GREAT IDEA?
YOU CAN START WITH THIS
BUSINESS -- THIS BOOK.
SHE CO-AUTHORED IT AND THERE
ARE A LOT OF GREAT TIPS ON
THINGS YOU CAN DO INSIDE THE
BOOK.
I ASKED HER WHAT SHE THOUGHT
ABOUT IT.
SHE TOLD ME SHE GOT HELP FROM
THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
CENTER AND SHE HAS A BUSINESS
COACH.
AGAIN, A BUSINESS COACH IS
IMPORTANT.
ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IS HERE
IN HER BOOK.
I KNOW A YOUNG WOMAN ALSO
GOT A BUSINESS COACH.
LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.
