5 tips for the “Momtrepreneur”
By Leana Greene, an Overdrive contributor and founder and CEO of kidsinthehouse.com, the world’s largest parenting video library.
Eliminate the Guilt!
Simply put, there just isn’t time for everything, and you have to stop feeling guilty about that. I learned early on that the work/life balance is a myth. It’s not realistic to expect to create the perfect balance between being a CEO and a parent. There will be certain days when you just have to work extra, and there will be other days when you get to spend those extra hours with your kids. Do not feel guilty if every day isn’t always a 50/50 split. Instead, make an effort to focus on your kids when you are with them and focus on the job when you are at work.

Entrepreneurship: The Effort between Risk and Reward
by Indira Kaur Ahluwalia, an EO DC member and President of Development & Training Services, Inc.
An entrepreneur has infallible passion and has to have an almost delusional sense of reality. There is only one outcome. Success. Risk is understood, on an intrinsic level, but belied. When I started dTS, I was clear only about one thing. I had to. I had to do my part to somehow make the world a better place. Naiveté. I still do my best to retain as much of my sense of wonder and ingenuousness. It keeps me humble in a world that is so much larger than my passion, and also acutely aware of just how much I still have to learn. Fundamentally, it keeps me wanting to try to innovate success.

Get Back to Being Scared
by Crystal L. Faulkner, an EO Cincinnati member and co-founder and partner of Cooney Faulkner & Stevens, LLC

Creating a Business Animation that Works
by Heather Baker, an EO UK-London member and CEO of TopLine Comms. Heather gives readers the inside track on how to make a fantastic animation that works for their brand.
Animation can be one of the most powerful ways of explaining complex or abstract concepts to an audience, but I can tell you from experience that commissioning one for the first time is a daunting experience. First-timers often fall into the trap of cutting corners or trying to control the wrong elements of the process while letting other crucial areas slide. No-one wants to leave the success of their corporate animation down to trial and error, so I thought I’d share the top tips I’ve gathered over the years.
