GUILT! Society dumps a lot of that on moms. We feel guilty if we work outside of the home. We feel guilty if we're stay-at- home moms. We feel guilty if our house isn't immaculate. We feel guilty because the furniture isn't dusted. We feel guilty because we're not on the PTA board. We feel guilty if we serve frozen pizza for supper. We feel guilty when we have a meltdown. And the nagging question that's with us every day is "Am I a good mom?"

GUILT! Society dumps a lot of that on moms. We feel guilty if we work outside of the home. We feel guilty if we're stay-at- home moms. We feel guilty if our house isn't immaculate. We feel guilty because the furniture isn't dusted. We feel guilty because we're not on the PTA board. We feel guilty if we serve frozen pizza for supper. We feel guilty when we have a meltdown. And the nagging question that's with us every day is "Am I a good mom?" We contrast our lives with the perfect moms we see on television and in magazines, the moms with the beds made, a nutritious dinner on the table, the laundry done, working a full-time job and still managing to take her tae kwon do class. This thought-provoking and humorous book is written by the Minnesota Woman Business Owner of the Year who later was also inducted into the MN Women Business Owners Hall of Fame. She raised two great children as a single mom while being an entrepreneur starting numerous business, and demolishes all those guilt thoughts if you're not that perfect mom! She shares her secrets of how you can raise good kids even if you're super busy, with her "Seven Keys" to sensible parenting in an inspiring, easy-to-read and practical book. Review by Ilse Armstrong, CEO Verified Purchase "This is a delightful parenting book by one of the busiest women I've ever met! She started businesses, raised her kids as a single mom, and still had fun with her hobbies. Lorelei's methods of raising her kids are very straight-forward and simple. There's none of the psycho-babble you often find in modern books on parenting, just straight talk about deciding what's important to your family and what's not--without feeling guilty."
Autorenporträt
Lorelei was educated in a two-room school in a tiny poor rural town, then graduated from a small high school in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in a class of 15. Divorced, with no business training, this single mom went on to become a serial entrepreneur, #1 best-selling author, and sought-after speaker on leadership and innovation. Only 1.8% of businesses owned by women ever reach a million in revenues, and Lorelei created two enterprises that did. She built an award-winning craft village tourist attraction from scratch in an astounding five weeks and five days. She started, in her basement, a candle company that grew to selling to 6,000 stores. Her businesses greatly impacted her poor rural county with millions in revenues, hundreds of employees, and a half million tourism visitors. Lorelei is a MN Woman Business Owner of the Year, and was inducted into the MN Women Business Owners Hall of Fame. She received the Governor's Entrepreneurship Award, and the National Association of Women Business Owners Vision Award. A question she always got when speaking, however, was "How could you do everything you did as a single mom raising two kids--didn't you feel guilty?" And thus this book was born, giving practical advice on how to raise good kids even if you're super busy!
