If you haven’t discovered Blogtrepreneur yet, you will want to sign up for their updates. Their ideas and information are as fresh and clean as their blog design. A few days ago they posted a list of 10 Inspiring Young Entrepreneurs that you will want to read. I was really surprised to learn the author of Mashable (#273 on Alexa) was only 24. I was also impressed with how dedicated 21 year old Michael Dunlop (IncomeDiary.com) is to help others achieve the success he has. Learn from these young entrepreneurs and never think you are too young. (OR too old!)

Maybe I should compile a list of inspiring OLD entrepreneurs. Not that we are that old, but there is a bumper crop of very talented moms that have homeschooled multiple children for 20+ years that are watching their students move on. In there is so much talent and ability that it seems natural to translate all that experience into an entrepreneurial venture..hmmmnn. Think on that.

Find Proverbs 31 Inspiration…

Last week I wrote a post on “Should Christian Families Teach Their Daughters Business?” and more or less randomly chose two of the best Proverbs 31 websites I could find to illustrate a point I was making. It’s so amazing how God leads us down pathways to show us things He has on His mind for us…. while we are focused on something else!

The point I wanted to make is not entirely an apology, because I don’t believe any wrong was done…but there was a mis-judgement in that blog that I wanted to clarify. The video I highlighted from Proverbs31-woman.com was offered with the implication that little emphasis is placed on the entrepreneurial qualities of the Proverbs 31 woman. While there isn’t the emphasis I’d like to see in this video, when I did my research (regrettably after-the-fact!) on the woman behind the video, I discovered that her entire emphasis is on the work at home mom!

Kathie Thomas is a delightful work at home ‘mum’ (from Australia) that is a beautiful example of an entrepreneurial Proverbs 31 woman. Another reason I felt the need to correct what I wrote was because her mission and work is very much worth taking a look at. Her book, Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mom is an inspiration to Christian moms and how (and why) they can be home with their children and work full time. While I don’t think she home schools, there is still much to take away from her message. I have ordered her book and look forward to reading it! I’ll post a review when I’m done.

Another resource you might want to consider is her Proverbs 31 Forum where you can talk with other like-minded women. You can find more encouragement on her site, Proverbs31-woman.com where there’s a list of all the blogs she writes, writes for, and websites of hers….she really truly WORKS at home to accomplish all that! You’ll truly be blessed if you take a few minutes out of your busy day for a ‘Proverb 31 break’!

You can find a video of an interview of Kathie that will give you a good idea of her ‘vision’ and how she is following the desires of her heart at:

Be blessed!
