Mompreneur: Running a family while being a boss by Tanisha Jamison is a enlightening business guide to help women successfully care for a family and own a business without neglecting one or the other. The author is a mother of four and a small business owner of a childcare center. The intention of this book is to inspire other mompreneurs by offering helpful suggestions and ideas that will improve the work-life balance. Topics covered in this book include how to avoid procrastination and self-sabotage, alleviating stress, gaining positive self esteem, being resilient, treating work as a business not a hobby, and finding a proper balance between work and your children/marriage without feeling guilty.

Tanisha Jamison has provided quite a bit of useful information to help the reader to  simplify and improve their busy lives. Although a large amount of the advice given is aimed specifically at working mothers who have a strong support system of family, there were many things mentioned that could be applied to anyone, not just working moms, such as good time management tips, stress relief suggestions, and tips for keeping a clean house. I liked that the author asked questions to help readers use some of the principles in the book in their own lives. As I was reading the book, there were many times where I found myself thinking of how the information provided could help me to reach a better work-life balance. There were a lot of facts and statistics given and various studies mentioned, however, I would have liked to see proper references and footnotes for readers who might like to investigate these topics further.

Mompreneur is an empowering, engaging and educational book that I highly recommend to mothers, but the information in the book can be used by anyone who wants to find a balance between work and life that will ensure they succeed in both areas.
