You Know You’re a Mompreneur If . . . (FREE Quiz & 21 Telling Traits)
This post: Let’s remove all doubt–are you a Mompreneur or not?
A “Mompreneur” is a woman who balances running her own business or brand, alongside being a homemaker & mother.
Tall order? You bet.
And my two cents: a Mompreneur might be the Boss Babe rocking her wildly successful IG account & six-figure income . . . or she might be the mama working her side hustle after the kids go to bed, determined to bring in enough to cover this month’s grocery bill.
Bottom line: When it comes to being a Mompreneur, mindset comes before money.
And you don’t have to be a mom to have these go-get-’em kind of traits.
Not sure if you make the cut or not?
Read the following & let me know in the comments below!

Can’t wait to see you inside!
I scored the Mompreneur in the making. I got 12. My time is split so many ways, that ai could definitely benefit from certain areas of learning and training.
I definitely relate to that, Shannon! It’s hard to know what to focus on sometimes, isn’t it? I’m happy to inspire and educate any way I can.
Thanks for taking the time to share your results! xo
This was fun!! I got Bonified Mompreneur/Creative. Although it has been in much slower motion the last few years!!
Yay – I’m SO glad you had fun with this quiz! (I had fun writing it!).
I can totally see you as a Bonified Mompreneur! It’s okay if seasons are “slow . . . ” life is never linear, is it? Sometimes the pauses help us refocus, grow, and move forward more sustainably. I’m always in your corner cheering you on, Phallin!!
I scored 8 only because I gave myself the cereal at night answer even though I don’t typically eat cereal or many grains anymore. However I used to eat cereal at dinner at least once a week.
I see your creative streak for sure! Fueled, no doubt, by those streamlined weeknight meals (cereal and her grain-free counterparts!). 😉
Thanks for sharing your results, Kristina!
I actually scored less than 8… however I think I would have scored higher in the past year or so. I think currently circumstances have changed some of my thoughts and even interests. But perhaps that’s why I’m here–for motivation and inspiration.
I get that, Dawnya. So much, in fact. I’ve been through seasons (in recent years even) when I really believed I’d “lost” my creative side, or some of my most closely held passions. Sometimes life knocked them out of me (for a while), and other times I was just busy, distracted, stressed, or any combination of the three.
Yes! Motivation and inspiration coming up, my friend! Always! And I know you are motivating and inspiring others by what you do, as well.
