FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
StartupNation.com Honors Nation’s Leading Moms in
Business
Deanna Bufo Novak of kidsHeritage, Inc. Wins Top Honors
in Mom Business Competition
BROWARD COUNTY/FLORIDA – From among thousands of
contestants, kidsHeritage, Inc. has been ranked #17 in
StartupNation.com’s 2010 Leading Moms in Business
competition,
sponsored by
Infusionsoft.
Over 709,000 votes were cast in support of the 2010
contestants, reflecting immense interest and supportiveness
for moms building businesses at the same time they tend to
their families.
"There’s been a sea change among moms as they've come to
realize that adding entrepreneurship to their lives brings
exhilaration and immense gratification, not to mention
supplemental—sometimes primary—income to their families in
these dicey economic times," says Rich Sloan, chief startupologist and co-founder of StartupNation.
"We are thrilled to be among the top 20 Leading Moms in
Business," said Deanna Bufo Novak, founder of kidsHeritage,
Inc. She continued, "I have an enormous amount of respect
for all mom entrepreneurs and all that we have accomplished,
and continue to accomplish." The winner's profile for kidsHeritage, Inc. can be
found
here.
The 2010 Leading Moms in Business ranking, conducted in
collaboration with
Ladies Who Launch
and The National Association for Moms in Business,
highlights some of the dominant trends, motivations, and
attributes among moms in business. They include:
-
A great eye for providing attractive discounts, coupons,
savings and value, all especially important to consumer moms
of the recession era.
-
A likelihood to come up with innovative products and
solutions to address the challenging maze of motherhood.
It’s an environment that demands resourcefulness.
-
Conscience-driven business, where
"doing well" is just
fine, but the real rush comes from doing good.
-
The attraction of being your own boss looms large for moms
wanting to take control they just can’t find in a day job.
-
Sustainable solutions and responsible business practices
are increasingly paramount.
-
Making the most of social media for business benefit is
seemingly a birthright for the socially adept moms.
The full results of the 2010 Leading Moms in Business
ranking are available on
StartupNation's website.
