In my quest to "MAKE IT BIG" (or at least somewhat bigger)...I started thinking, "how come some MOMMIES have so much advantage over me?"
For comparison, I chose Kelly Ripa...just because:
OH WAIT...
- Maybe it's the years of experience in "Soap Opera" Land?
- Maybe it's the brands (such as Electrolux) that "BACK" her?
- Maybe it's her adorable, perfect, hours of being toned body?
- Maybe it's her outgoing, cheerfully perceived personality?
- Maybe it's because she has an awesome agent pushing for her?
- Maybe it's because I need a cool co-host like Regis to launch a show?
- Maybe I don't do enough for the community?
- Maybe it's because I don't have a nanny to watch my kids so I can network more often?
- Maybe it's because I simply am a "STAY AT HOME MOMMY" and that's what I'll always be?
Guess that's not such a bad thing, right?
I'm blessed to be able to do what I do!
But honestly, somedays I have dreams of so much more than that. I find my job as a mommy super fulfilling and gratifying (I would not re-do the last ten years of mommy hood)...but I honestly feel that I could be entertaining other mommies with funny stories, encouraging them with "parenting knowledge" hence far, promoting brands that I love and believe in, and of course, making a paycheck to put in the bank, to send my kids to college and help pay for weddings someday.
What do you think? Have you ever thought about this before? I mean...Kelly Ripa is just another person, another mommy, another wife...and yet she's been able to succeed in her career as well. I guess I want to "KNOW HER SECRET TO SUCCESS"!
Anyone have any pointers? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
