Mompreneur Mondays: Introducing Jeanne Medina

Hi gang! I’m super excited to present my new feature on the blog – MOMPRENEUR MONDAYS!

I am interviewing mompreneurs and presenting their stories here for you. It’s a chance for you to see what other moms are doing out there, and it gives them a bit of buzz for their business. Win, win – right?

If you would like to be featured here, fill out this form and we’ll talk.

Now, on to our very first Mompreneur Monday!

Jeanne Medina, Mompreneur  and independent distributor of Boresha International’s Health and Wellness products

Jeanne Medina is a mom of two, a 12 year old boy and 8 year old girl. In 2011 she started her business as an independent distributor of Boresha International’s Health and Wellness products.

She was a customer of Boresha’s Fat Burning Coffee and Fat Burning Peach Mango Teas, after her Uncle sent her the products. Jeanne watched as NINE members of her family each lost 20 – 40 pounds each using the products!

My Uncle, Mother, and Aunt, have all been taken off diabetes medications. After having such great results, and with everyone asking how we lost all that weight,  I decided to become a distributor and help more people discover these healthy, life changing products.

Jeanne has been able to integrate her business with her busy family life. Her typical day includes a morning of getting ready then walking her daughter to school. This busy mom homeschools her son, so after checking in on the computer and making sure he’s ready, she’s off taking him to lessons and running errands.

Most of Jeanne’s work time happens at night. She gives “Tasting Parties” at night and on weekends. Late in the evening she’s up filling orders and setting up parties for clients. She credits her husband for his help in watching the kids while she’s out working.

What’s the most difficult part of being a Mompreneur for Jeanne? Getting her kids used to the idea that she’s not always immediately available.

They were used to me being able to answer any question or help them with things anytime they asked. Now, they have had to learn to wait, until I’m done on the computer and not to make too much noise if I’m on a call.

And the best part of being a Mompreneur? Being able to make her own schedule. She also loves that she’s building her own dream now, instead of being a “cog in someone else’s machine”.

When I asked Jeanne what resources have helped her run her business, she mentioned that reading has helped her a lot. She also listens to conference calls with leaders in her business, and uses various Facebook groups to keep in touch.

Here are Jeanne’s tips for other women who want to become a Mompreneur:

I think the most important advice I would give a new mompreneur, would be to prioritize your interaction with others. Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with positive people who are uplifting to your spirits. Look at the areas you are weakest, and hire or recruit people with those skills, who can further your business, or teach you what you need to know.  Look at how your spend your time, and start letting go of time suckers that don’t serve your ultimate goals.
