I am from Jackson Michigan, another hard-hit Michigan city! My husband developed a fabric CPAP mask liner for myself, and for all who suffer with sleep apnea, and we launched our business in Jan. 2009. It's called RemZzzs (for REM sleep) and we are now selling it all across the US and in 14 countries. I have to tell you though, a year ago when I didn't know what to do first, I bought a copy of "Mommy Millionaire" in my local bookstore. I literally devoured that book from cover to cover & underlined so many sections, I ended up taping Tabs onto the pages so I could find the info I needed quickly. The book helped us know what steps we should take & was an invaluable resource for websites and free information! I've recommended the book to several other entrepreneurs. I will happily join this mission to create business in Flint or in all of Michigan!

My life continues to be blest. My Mother taught me to not fear the unknown and to strive to accomplish all my goals. Kim your first book came to me at the most wonderful time. The economy was stalling, slipping and I had the time to get my act together and get patents and trademarks on products that I had made and given to family and friends for years.
A business was beginning to bud....my Mother and her sister had been my best female friends and very influential on me, so as a tribute to these fine ladies I named my business after them,
Lil and Fran Fine Accessories. They are truly Angel's in my life.
My products are proudly all made in the USA. They are all machine wash/dry and a portion of our sales is donated to the research and cure of Cancer.
You can reach me at my email, phone me at 540-947-2929, or check out my website www.lilandfran.com
We are continually adding new products. I am so appreciative of the opportunity that Kim has provided and continues to open for us

I'm Sheil Caldwell, mom, author, occasional actor, Mommy Millionaire member and blogger, Fan of Baggonizer, Everything you need for the reusable bag routine........from car to cart to checkout(tm). http://www.baggonizer.com
For over a year now I have been a part of this community. I have had the priveledge of watching it grow and evolve into what you see today. And believe me when I tell you, Kim is only getting started on her bid to start a million new businesses so you've come to the right place to learn how to BE PART OF THE SOLUTION that is this REVOLUTION.
We got your back Kim. Thanks for having ours.

My name is Jessica Pohlkamp and I invented the world's first and only LCD safe cleaning wipe for cell phones and gadgets infused with fresh, clean fragrances including Berry, Melon and Pina Colada. Meet Celly Smellys scented cleaning wipes for cell phones and gadgets.
As a Physical Therapist, I noticed poor hygiene with gadgets and cell phones. There was a huge gap in the market for a teen, tween, female oriented electronics cleaning wipe system - so I did something about it. H1N1 has forced consumers to think about hygiene in ways they never considered before and that includes your cell phone and electronics. Now, there is a solution!
Celly Smellys are LCD safe, lint free, streak free lens grade polishing cloths that scoop up dirt and grime from your cell phones, smart phones, ipods, iphones, lap tops, video games including Nintendo DS and Playstation, GPS, digital cameras and more!
Thank you Kim for your book Mommy Millionaire. Without it, I wouldn't be having the time of my life living my dream and cleaning gadgets all over the globe! Thank you for supporting small businesses and women entrepreneurs.

As school counselors, we told our students they could achieve any dream. As friends, we inspire and support each other. As moms, we want to set a precedent for our daughters. As business partners, we are integrating all of the skills, hard lessons and inspiration we have absorbed in all of those roles and building a business that is the fruition of all our experiences.
When a new life joins a family, nurturing and bonding with the baby creates beautiful memories and a strong foundation for love. Bath time is the perfect time for expressions of love and playfulness. Yet, this time can be unsettling and awkward for many new parents. Our products were created to ease the worries of parents and help them to provide a warm and comfortable atmosphere for babies. Our products are spa inspired and allow a baby to be pampered by parents that feel confident. We invite you to learn more about us at spatimebaby.com.
We are blessed and grateful for all the knowledge and inspiration gained from fellow mom entrepreneurs at mommymillionaire.com! We are currently reading Mommy Manifesto by Kim Lavine to find the tools we need to take our business to the next level and are so excited to be linking our arms with other moms to take on the world!

Runaway Rabbit is the notion of two professional career women turned stay-at-home moms. We (Laura Jones and Gayla Warner) launched our company in 2005, reviving the apparently extinct iconic classic bunny slippers remembered from college days. Runaway Rabbit manufacturing, wholesale and retail business grew from this single item (bunny slippers) to include trademarked designs and many more distinctive gifts. Focusing on items of affordable luxury, Runaway Rabbit has grown to include new brands; Salt and Sage kitchen products and Kari Covington bags.
From the beginning, we knew we wanted to use our company to benefit families and children. We partnered with www.GiftofAdoption.org to facilitate and support adoption with grants to families who could not otherwise afford the process. A portion of profits from Runaway Rabbit is donated annually, proving that a small company can make a big difference.
The success of our Cinderella story built on slippers is due in great part to some fundamental principles we apply to our partnership. These include, 1) have fun, 2) use common sense in making business decisions, and 3) work hard toward shared goals.
If you are ever in Atlanta at the Semi-annual International Gift and Home Furnishings market, look for us...we'll be wearing rabbit ears and tiaras and having a ball building our dream!

Hello, my name is Kendra and one day my friend Jasmine and I were at the beach and we were jumping over the waves and she says to me “Kendra, I just lost my phone” and I was like oh well! Even if we do find it, it’s not going to work so, I continued playing in the water. Then she yell’s “Kendra, I can’t find my keys”. Needless to say that caught my attention. So, we looked for the keys and thank God we found them.
So, on the way back to the car it hits me and I say to her “Jasmine, what do you think about pockets? A bra with pockets?” Well, considering she just lost everything she thought it was a GREAT idea. A little late but good. So, as soon as I get back to Colorado I applied for my patent. That’s when I start doing my research on what to do next. And, the first book I ran across was Kim’s book “Mommy Millionaire.” And that is how Keep It Klose “a, bra with pockets and key hook was born”.

Hello, my name is Jane Redman. My business is Fabric Alley, an online fabric shop for interior designer fabrics for your home or business. I started Fabric Alley 9 years ago. Sure there are a lot of online fabric shops but FabricAlley has several points that make us stand out from the rest. First and foremost is our pricing; we price our fabrics just above wholesale cost. REALLY! We can do this by keeping overheads low and shipping directly to the client from the vendor. We also help you figure out yardage, find just the right trim to go with your drapes or pillows, answer any questions you may have about fabrics, trims or anything else that has to do with decorating, and it is all free!
Last but certainly not least I am a people person, so providing great customer service comes naturally. I have talked to so many people all over the US and Canada about fabrics, trims, blinds, patterns and decorating. Sometime we end up talking about something totally different than what they called for. I love it!
We are looking forward to helping you with your next project at www.fabricalley.com.

I'm a mom entrepreneur and former teacher who started a home business with several hundred dollars and a great idea. As many others have expressed, I wanted to be at home with my two children and decided to start a business related to my passion - education and literacy.
When my daughter, Mackenzie, was three years old and learning to print her name, it took forever to constantly 'dot' her letters while she was keen to practise and practise her printing. My company idea was born.
What's the first word a child wants to print? Their Name! The Little Stamp Company makes personalized stamps in a large dotted font so little ones can stamp, trace and learn to print their names in a fun and interactive way. Our large, easy to grasp stamps are self inking, so no messy stamp pads for moms and dads. Parents love our eco-friendly ink that's water based and washable. In fact, our ink is made with food grade ingredients so it's child safe too.
Our stamps are as unique as the kids they are made for - so check out our website The Little Stamp Co. and order a personalized stamp for your little learner.

As a single mom who had to reinvent herself after a divorce, I am passionate about teaching teens (and the family) how to be financially savvy. "Money" education is a crucial life skill, yet it's typically not taught in our schools. My mission: "To create self-reliant and financially successful teens." The best part...my 13 year old son is part of my team.

My name is Deirdre Pizzoferrato and I am the President of Beanstalk Express. My first product, the “SnackTime Survival Kit!” was inspired shortly after I threw in the towel and surrendered to my twin boys. Just three years old at the time, my once “docile duo” had waged an open mutiny for carte blanche snacking.
But what makes my story ironic is that I am also a Registered Dietitian, certified in Child and Adolescent Weight Management. And prior to becoming a first time mom to twin boys, I had spent most of my professional years counseling clients and patients on healthy eating and snacking! And many of these clients were mothers who were in the same predicament that I now found myself in. I had completely underestimated the perseverance of a toddler… times two! So after swallowing the entire humble pie, I started working on a solution.
So this was my big “AHA!” moment! Frequent snacking and on highly processed snack foods, marketed to our children from birth, is a huge contributor to the epidemic of childhood obesity in our country. And since the majority of our children’s lifelong eating preferences and habits are established prior to kindergarten, I realized that the window for affecting positive change was very narrow.
The “SnackTime Survival Kit!” inspires kids of all ages to make healthy snack choices, teaches the skills of moderation and helps cultivate personal responsibility. For parents, it’s the only alternative to enduring meltdowns or simply giving in – an act that is never without guilt!
Within the next two weeks we will commence manufacturing on our first production run in China, and hope to have our first shipment available before Toy Fair in February. I’ve also begun working on our second product, another common parenting obstacle and a big contributor to childhood obesity. I’m really excited about this one too! So stay tuned…
Finally, I have to say that having battled obesity as a child myself, I know first hand the physical and social challenges kids face on a daily basis. My advocacy for the prevention of childhood obesity is not just a professional mission, but a personal one as well.

My name is Lisa Tolnay-Waldon. I am a stay-at-home mom to a very active 3 year-old little girl. I am currently in the process of starting my business, LT Waldon Creates. I will turn my passion for art and photography into cards, calendars, home decor, and one of a kind furniture pieces.

When I set out to start a company, it was my mission to create a product that would feed my spirit and make my customers happy. After a great amount of soul searching, I decided to design a clothing line that would inspire women to FEEL GOOD & HAVE FUN! I believe clothing is a natural extension to wellbeing. When a woman is wearing something that is comfortable and looks great, it can positively affect her entire outlook on the day.
Sales to retail locations have recently begun and our products have found a home at numerous clothing boutiques as well as renowned resort and spa locations. An online shopping environment has also been created at www.PuttinOnTheBliss.com where my company donates a portion of all revenues to charity.
I feel very accomplished to have taken a vision in my mind and turned it into a reality. Although I've never strived harder in all of my life, the work is feeding my spirit -- just as I was aiming for -- and I am blissfully excited about what the future may hold for Puttin' on the Bliss.

Thanks for this opportunity Kim,
I'm actually in the process of writing a business plan for Yellow Brick Road Distribution! Two of the three product lines besides the Syntek Xtreme Fuel Treatment ~ XFT are made from repurposed or recycled materials! Eco-friendly, creative third product line will also be reusing an item that's refillable for a purpose unrelated to its original intended use!
Syntek Distributorships are available for $600 and just launched to the public October 9-10!
The "YourRememberBear" is made from either Clearanced items or Goodwill store racks with some having music boxes. Original idea is for parents to submit outgrown clothing or blankets that's specifc to the indidual! Local credit union is running a "Pay It Forward ~ Create a Ripple" promo to earn $20 for an organization of your choice to whom you give the $$. Video will be uploaded to YouTube and the "Most Voted" organization will receive $500 as will the individual who did the "Good Deed"! Wish me well until I have to Link to share!!! ;-)
Blessings to all! Shelia

Hi, my name is Jeannie Harper. My husband and I started a smaill business a little over a year ago for our now 11 year old son after he came up with a stuffed toy concept in response to a need for a birthday gift for a good friend. When Dan could not find anything in the toy store that he thought was unique enough for his good friend, he decided to make his own toy. He designed and then made, with the help of his grandmother, a Freeky Friendz, the Perfectly Imperfect toy. His friend loved his Freeky Friendz and so did all of the partygoers as each asked Dan to make one for them, then siblings of friends wanted one, then kids at Dan's school wanted a Freeky Friendz, then Moms wanted one for gifts even the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, TN bought 20 for their gift shop!!! Freeky Friendz were soon everywhere in our small community. Dan was so excited that people were actually paying him for his creations that he told us he wanted to start a business...so we did. Dan has high goals for his Freeky Friendz so I am trying to learn the "business" of small business and found "Mommy Millionaire". Kim's story reminds us of ourselves in that we run our operation from our basement as well and we have had lots of people tell us Freeky Friendz are great and we'll be "rich" one day. We certainly hope so and feel Kim's book is very helpful as we really do not have a "clue" about running a business (my background is in healthcare). Anyway, it is a blast to be able to have this business with my son...we have loads of fun!!! You can visit Freeky Friendz at www.freekyfriendz.com
Blessings,
Jeannie

Hi! I'm Suzy Goudeau, and I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of this entrpreneurial revolution! Kim's book "Mommy Millionaire" kick-started my dream of inventing my own products, and taking charge of my destiny. I have designed a new work-out bag for busy Mom's who make fitness a priority. This bag replaces the age-old duffle bag with a sporty, efficient, compact, and organized bag that not only holds toiletries and clothes, but also has a unique hanging system especially created for those "nice" garments you need when going straight to an appointment or lunch date after a workout. My "unique hanging system" can also be sold as a stand alone product for the travel market, which I am trying to license at this time. Being a stay-at-home Mom of 5 boys, finances have always been tight,which really limits my ability to persue manufacturing; therefore, I am hoping that with Kim's help, I'll be able to tap into those angel investors she is talking about! I've said this before and I'll say it again; THANK YOU KIM, for all you have done for us!

Hi my name is Kimberly Davis and I have invented a product for children infant age through toddler years. www.myhuggabebe.com Hugga-Bebe is a support for children to use in activity centers, jumpers, walkers, high chairs, park bucket swings and more. When we put our children in these types of items the seats are WAY to big and they fall over from lack of support. Us as parents try to help our children by putting blankets, towels, and pillows around them but as we all know that just don't work and they still fall over. Hugga-Bebe gives children a full 360 degrees worth of support. It gives children the proper upper torso support and back support. I would love for you to visit us at www.myhuggabebe.com and learn more about Hugga-Bebe.
Kim Lavine thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your wonderful books that you have brought to market. Thank you for sharing all the information that you did and helping others have success. I can remember sitting in bed with my husband asleep and I would be reading "Mommy Millionaire" word for word. It is very scary to start a company and to have your entire life savings on the line. Kim, I want to cry typing this and the only words I can say to you are... THANK YOU.

Hi All
I'm not a Daddy Millionaire yet, but I know I'm on the path. My name is Dan Gosling and I am a professional trumpet player. Several years ago I created an all-natural lip care formula (in our kitchen!) called ChopSaver. Originally designed for the unique lip issues of musicians, it is now recommended by dermatologist as a superior form of lip care. Please visit chopsaver.com to learn more.
I am proud to call Kim both a friend and a mentor. Her books have provided invaluable insight, information and inspiration for those of us pursuing a dream. Thanks Kim, for all you do!

We are two moms who bonded on our daily Long Island Railroad commute and hung out together with our children at "mommy and me" gym classes. One day, Corrie's daughter helped take their friendship to a new level—after a tantrum about wanting to wear tights to gym class (when the rule there was to wear gripper socks) Corrie turned to Yelena and said "we have to make it so this doesn't happen ever again!"
After a bit of research in our kids sock drawers, we noticed that not all of their socks had non-skid bottoms and none of the girls' tights had a grippie sole. Without some kind of "grippies" on their socks and tights, there was no way to avoid our kids slipping and falling on our wood and tile floors, and no way to avoid Corrie's "girly girl's" gym fashion freakouts!
We couldn't find a product made specifically to make regular tights and socks non-skid in the marketplace. Unwilling to accept this as a final answer, we decided to make it ourselves!
We're so excited to be a part of the Mommy Millionaire community!

I am a stay at home mom to 3 little ones and have been designing and creating jewelry for many years. With a BFA in graphic design and a strong passion for metalwork, I am lucky to be able to work from home doing what I love. I have many pieces that can be personalized and are the perfect gifts for moms and women in general. I am developing lines that will be produced so 100% of the proceeds go to charites and groups close to my heart. I think the most important part of this journey is to be able to give back, no matter how "small" the gesture. To be able to do what you love and help others along the way is a wonderful way to make a living!
Please stop by my and say hi.

It's in the works.

My name is Julie Rebboah. Since 1998 I have been an elementary educator, Reading Intervention instructor, English language development teacher and private tutor. Through my professional and parenting experiences, I realized that there was a need for vibrant, modern books and learning aids that get kids excited about learning to read and write.
In 2008, I started my company, Lightning Bug Learning, to bring effective and affordable resources to parents and teachers. I created a line of coordinating materials to help kindergartners master grade-level phonics, reading and writing skills. My products are found in a local teacher supply store chain, The Learning Palace and will be in the 2010 NASCO Early Learning Catalog. My books, Magic Letters and Magic Words will be released in January 2010. They are available through Book Clearinghouse, Ingram, Baker & Taylor and Quality Books.
I am just beginning to breach the retail market. To reach teachers, I travel across the country presenting workshops on literacy. And I do all of this with a kindergartner and preschooler who are only in school half days!

Hello:
My name is Monica Thomas. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 11 years. Like many of you know, it is almost impossible to enter back into the work force after that long of a period. Not to mention, the frustration of changing the home schedules and new daycare bills to cover your absence from the home. With the economy struggling to stay afloat, it created more frustration for me. Then one day a friend sent me a text about a home based business oppertunity that will allow me to generate real income and add fulfillment in the lives of others. I said yeah right! Well, they were not stretching the truth at all! I now have my own home base business and I'm encouraging individuals at the same time plus generating income. The company is new and it is the only one out here. I do not have to abandon my current lifestyle and I am now able to invest in my dreams and desires for myself and my family. My desire is to share this gift with every woman because we deserve it! For more information, please visit my site www.empoweryourlifestyle.com.
Sincerely Yours,
Monica Thomas

I am passionate and sometimes lust after yarn, and you could say it is my drug. I dream about the textures, of running my fingers over and through a ball of yarn, of feeling the roughness like the bark on a tree, or something unbelievably soft and silky, leaving me in awe of how could this be! I fondle it, smell it, and hold it to my cheek, it is the epitome of pleasure. The colors are soft and romantic, even peaceful, or elegantly exploding in vibrant energetic tones, all echoing the beauty of nature. The yarns are thick and mysterious, or like the gossamer of Butterfly wings.
I am also crazy and passionate about The Butterfly Loom, because this fantastic Loom has enabled me to use the most beautiful yarns available. As I wind the yarn on to my Loom I have great pleasure in feeling the yarn as it glides through my fingers. I can hold one, two, three or four yarns together, or I can wind on something as delicate as the Angora from a Kid.
If you can't knit or crochet, and have dreamt about using these beautiful yarns, we want to share with you a great and exciting method of creating your very own priceless treasures using The Butterfly Loom. If you can knit or crochet The Butterfly Loom is for you too, because you can crochet the squares together, or add squares to your knitted projects. Let me assure you, once you start Looming with The Butterfly Loom and you start to feel the calm and pleasure that overtakes your soul, your stash will be like mine, and you'll spend hours touching, feeling, and caressing the yarn before even deciding which to use. That makes each of your creations a lit bit more special.
When I realized how many folk loved yarn and could not knit or crochet I designed The Butterfly Loom. It is quick and easy, and almost gives you instant gratification. I invite you to visit us at www.thebutterflyloom.com
Sincerely a big THANK YOU and a great day to everyone.

My name is Monika Mira and I have established a green publishing house that develops eco friendly books and DVDs for children. Currently we have a single title on the market which can teach you and your kids to identify over 80 species of fish. With over 200 illustrations, The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book not only teaches you about the fish, but also about the importance of conservation, and it is printed on recycled paper. We also have several other products in different stages of development for our Blossoming Little Minds division, that EMPOWER INFANTS AND TODDLERS WITH THE GIFT OF COMMUNICATION before speech had developed (which can help families create stronger bonds & reduce frustration). Our products also encourage early reading and strengthen cognitive development through the use of a multisensory learning approach. We mostly use ASL and other hands-on learning approaches that include music and colorful pictures, video and illustrations. We hope these products will be on the market some time next year. In the mean time, I'm busy raising a 2 year old the best I can and helping families, daycares and preschools better communicate with children through the use of baby sign language!
Mahalo for the opportunity!

Hi, my name is Cheryl. I live in B.C. Canada. as a stay-at-home mother of four children, I started my own home-base business designing and creating hand-made Christmas tree ornaments for all year around Christmas shops.
The idea came to me after making play-dough and spending many hours with my kids creating all kinds of little animal figurines and play food. I loved it so much I went to a local craft store and purchased some polymer clay and really liked how detailed you could get with the clay.
I now create Seasonal ornament, figurines, and dolls house miniatures.
It has been wonderful to work from my home, even though I work many hours late at night and early mornings, I still love to be there for my family.
My website is www.cherylslittlecreations.com

After making a difference in the lives of children for 25 years in the daycare business, I decided I needed to take my passion for helping children and my creativity to a whole new level and make a BIG Difference! I started lil' ol' me, "cute n' colorful, quality clothing and accessories". Lil' ol' me is a statement, an attitude, a child's right to be heard, "it's all about lil' ol' me!" I feature organic lil' ones, and toddler t-shirts as well as fun youth t-shirts and a teen line called LOM.
I also started lil' ol' me Making a BIG Difference, "a foundation for the lil' nation" that raises money through the sale of Lollipop Lane bracelets and fundraisers to provide scholarships and therapy for children with autism. My mission is to teach children the importance of tolerance and helping others with special needs. I have found when kids get involved; it raises their self-esteem, gives them a sense of pride and purpose and focuses their attention on someone other than themselves.
Being one of the many women without a college degree, I used to think that limited my possibilities of a career. I found out that all I needed was the courage to follow my dreams and the help of the Mommy Millionaire book. With both of these I was able to launch lil' ol' me, and through the help of the online Mommy Millionaire community I am learning valuable information to succeed!

My name is Susan Harper Todd. In 2004 I summited Mount Everest and was the first British woman to lead an Everest expedition. From that platform I am now working as a motivational speaker, personal development coach and consultant and I have also written a book. I am leading a trek to Everest Base Camp in spring 2010 (April 26 - May11) and I would love people to come and join me on this breathtaking walk through the heart of the Nepalese Himalaya. It really is a really magical and life-changing experience. You forget newspapers and telelvision exist as you experience a simpler way of life, in the shadow of some of the world's highest and most beautiful mountains. An unforgettable trip.

I've been operating my graphic design firm for nearly 10 years now; experiencing the ups + downs of revenue and cash flow. While I still want to pursue my creative career I'm interested in transforming my company Creative Aces into a media platform that would focus on creative individuals in the arts. A weekly feature delivered on-line through a multi-media platform and excellence in journalism and imagery. Additionally, I'm embarking on my dream of attaining a Master of Fine Arts degree and drafting content for workshops and training modules for "right brain" types to develop a personal brand and marketing strategies. So, tapping into new markets for mentors and investors would be ideal to advance my idea(s).

As a busy stay at home mom of two, I never imagined that I would come up with a solution to a very frustrating problem for anyone over the age of 40.
Do you need reading glasses? Do you wear sunglasses? What do you do when you have sunglasses on, but need to see the fine print? Like most, you fumble for your reading glasses and stack them on top your sunglasses to read the fine print. It will drive most crazy!!!
Well, not anymore! Introducing Seemores, stick-on reading lenses for your sunglasses! Seemores are small pliable reading lenses, in strengths +1.25 - +3.00, that stick, with a drop of water to the inside bottoms of your sunglasses and stay put until you remove them. Seemores are removable, reusable and very affordable!
Never again will you have to make a spectacle out of yourself!
Thank you Kim for your book which guided me through the entire processes of bringing this product to market. Torn, marked up and tattered, your book was my bible through the entire process. :)

I am the founder and Creative Learning Officer for
Wiggle Giggle Learn, LLC. As a National Board Certified teacher in Early Childhood Education, I have watched the needs of students and learning styles change over the last 15 years. All the while the school systems I have worked for have remained the virtually the same. Year after year I would notice behavior problems becoming more of the focus in schools because, in my observation, students weren't being taught the way they naturally learn. Today's students are more savvy, technological, active group learners. They are independent and innovative because of a host of technological gadgets that challenge them every day.
Our school systems are "factory-like" much like our society in the early 1900's. They place a heavy emphasis on individual learning tasks from textbooks that are rote and bore even the smartest student in the class. These "drop out factories" as some in the field now call them, are producing students ready to work in our mills and factories - but, do we still need mill and factory workers in this country? As a teacher that believes in building on a child's strengths, promoting creativity, developing teamwork skills and working toward 21st century learning skills, I felt an incredible urge to lead a revolution for change in our education system.
After much thought and reflection on the problem, I determined the best place to start was with the parents, from birth. I know in my heart that every parent wants the best for their child and every parent will stand up for their child's success in school and life. I wanted to reach parents that have not experienced our school system yet. I wanted to teach parents how amazing their child's brain is and how to nurture that intelligence from birth. My belief - once the parents new their child's intellectual potential, they would band together to create a grass roots effort for real reform that would rival the likes of President Obama's historical campaign ride to the White House. Parents will be the ones to create the educational reform, not Washington.
The learning system I have created - Play2Learn- is designed to engage parents as their child's first teachers while learning the what, how and whys of child development. They will all be experts on their child's development and guiding true reform reform.
I am in need of support for creating this grass roots campaign for educational change. I need advice on how to move my mission from a small group of parents around this country to a marching army of parents demanding change. How do I go about beginning this when all I have known so far is life as an internet "store"? How can I use social media without parents thinking I am making a "sales pitch"? My product will help parents understand the 21st century skills a child needs and will help them see their child's true intellectual potential but it is not a necessary part of being part of the change. How can I obtain government contracts to help impoverished families use the Play2Learn system for developing healthy minds, bodies and relationships? Please help me jump start this grass roots movement!
