Frequently Asked Questions About Membership


Question:

I am starting a business and need some help! Can you help me!

Answer

That's why we exist! However, we do not have the staff to assist individual business owners on a one-on-one basis regularly. That is why we offer SO many options - both in-person opportunities and online opportunities - to connect, empower, educate and inform the busy mom entrepreneurs of the world! Members have access to monthly workshops, meetings, Webinars, our online forum, articles, newsletters, our blog posts, and more to offer guidance and assistance that is easily accessible with the click of a mouse. You can also visit our Resources Page for a listing of business services we both partner with and also that we have found helpful to our members.

If you are interested in individual advice, you may book a one-on-one business consulting appointment with Power MOB President Marlynn Schotland. Her hourly rate is $125/hour and she normally books out at least two months in advance.


Question: I am a working mother, but do not own my own business. May I join?
Answer:

If you are actively working on or are in the beginning stages of working on launching your own business, then yes, you are welcome to apply for membership. We have many members who work part-time or full-time outside of the home while they are working on developing their own companies. If you do not have plans to own your own business, then The Power Mob is likely not right for you. If your intention is for your business to forever remain a hobby business or you just want to make some small side income doing something fun, The Power MOB may not be the best fit for you. Our focus is on supporting mothers who own their own business(es), have full intention of building a sustainable business, are active in their industry, and who want support and professional development opportunities to grow both their businesses and as a business owner trying to raise a family at the same time.


Question:

What type of businesses are allowed in The Power MOB?

Answer:

All businesses in good community standing are most welcome! Whether you work from home or whether you own a multi-million dollar company with ten locations and thousands of employees, you ARE a mom business owner!  The Power MOB works to serve the individual moms who own businesses, versus putting a focus on the type of business.


Question:

Can I attend events and meetings without joining The Power MOB?


Answer:
Yes! We would love for fellow mom business owners and mothers thinking about launching a business to join us at our monthly meetings, workshops and special events to learn more about the organization and find out if it's a good fit. Non-members may attend two meetings/events without joining; after that point we do require you become a member before attending any further meetings or events.

Question:

My kids are all grown up with kids of their own. May I still join?

Answer: Absolutely! No matter what your age, or how old your kids are, if you own a business and you are a mother, you are most welcome to join The Power MOB. Our members currently range in age of 25 to 65+ years old, with children of our members ranging in age from newborn to 35+.


Question:

I would love to speak in front of your group. How can I do that?

Answer:

Please visit our Feedback page and see the information regarding workshop facilitators, conference speakers and meeting panelists. Please note we get a LARGE number of requests from life and business coaches who have general programs they want to share with our membership. While we support you all, our topics must be extremely focused on very specific business issues and we cannot repeat similar topics in the same calendar year. There is a link to an online form you need to fill out and it is found on our Feedback page.
