Today we're featuring yet another stellar woman taking over the “mommy world”. A mother to three beautiful children, successful businesswoman, much sought-after speaker and adviser to many young moms out there, Janice Villanueva has shown us that having the best of both worlds really can happen. Founder of Mommy Mundo, the Philippines’ first and only established resource portal of the modern mom and moms-to-be, Janice has proven to us that you can happily be an active mom to your kids while fulfilling a career or full-time job.
At the end of the day, though, the ultimate sense of fulfillment Janice could ever have is simply being a part of the lives of her children and helping them become the best that they can be.
And when it comes to becoming the best, she knows she needs to first give them the best. This also goes for providing them with the safest and most natural bath and body products free from harmful chemicals. An awareness of the types of products we consume everyday is of utmost importance, now more than ever.
Janice shares that when she started Mommy Mundo ten years ago, “I was with like-minded mommy friends who realized that moms back then did not have any source of information and support (aside from their doctors) when it came to pregnancy, breastfeeding and parenting. We started doing small pocket talks for moms and the response was amazing... Moms now are an aware and empowered set, they seek information, support, they have clear choices for themselves and their families... it's just such a fulfillment to see the evolution happen."
"What inspires me is seeing the happy faces of moms and their families at our events, or feedback from moms who attend our talks and tell us they learned so much, or emails from readers of our free publications and websites who prod us on to keep up our work," shares Janice.
Today, Janice has become a role model for many Filipinas, a fellow mother who others can look up to for inspiration in being able to do it all and have it all. Her secret to success in fulfilling your dreams of owning a business and being a mompreneur? Her answer is to “JUST DO IT!”
“If you have an idea or a passion to pursue, take these initial steps then go for it! Make sure to study the market, plan your product and marketing efforts, meet other mompreneurs (join mompreneur manila! www.mompreneurmanila.com), get the support of your husband (this is very very important because he will be your partner and support to help you achieve balance in business and at home). Keep a positive mindset and just focus on your goal, you can choose to start small or go full blast, that would depend on your capabilities in terms of time, finances and objective, what's important is, just do it and go for your dream.”
Thank you so much, Janice, for being an inspiration to so many of us! May you continue to spread the goodness through your talent and gift of reaching out to the needs of mothers everywhere!
