Everything from the nuts and bolts of how to's to motivational programs that recharge your battery and make you want to go to work tomorrow is what we these business building programs can offer you.

Your success, however you define it, is our number one goal.

If you are already a MIBN member, log in and go to Member Resources Center to start using many of these benefits.

Education and Networking Events/TeleConferences - Everything from monthly Girlfriend Get Togethers for social and business networking to Regional Conferences to national live Telecircle meetings that you can participate in from your desk at home. We offer a variety of ways for you to gain valuable business education and network with peers.

Create Your Dreams Business Grant - Women own over 9 million businesses yet they receive the least amount of financing from traditional sources such as banks and venture capital firms. Women often use their credit cards or borrow from family members in order to start a business, which can make their own finances uncomfortable. MIBN wants to give you a chance to create your dreams without racking up the debt. We give two grants annually to mom business owners. Each one valued at $5,000. We are here to help you succeed.

Mom's Vote Matters & MIBN Advocacy Program - Like you, we understand the importance of public policy and the fact that it has a direct impact on running and expanding your business. When you join MIBN, you join Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) is a national bi-partisan public policy organization representing more than 550,000 women in business and women business owners nationwide. Become a member and be a mom whose making a difference. Moms Vote Matters is a non-partisan education program, but MIBN Advocacy Program takes initiative to promote issues that help your business. These are two difference programs that work hand in hand.

Millionaire Mom Circles - Millionaire Mom Circles are groups of IAWM and MIBN members that meet weekly or monthly to brainstorm for ideas to reduce debt and increase income and offer gentle, supportive accountability. Pave your own way to financial security with support, guidance, and friendship.

The Effectiveness Club - Accomplish More in Less Time! Be more productive. Create a greater sense of work/life balance. Participation is offered for an additional fee; however, it is included in Premier Partner or corporate level memberships.

Ask the Experts - If we don't have the information on our site, then you can ask any one of our Expert Content Partners for their advice on your situation. You can actually get advice from several different experts on the same question.

Work/Life Program Consultation - Many times this thing called "Work/Life Balance" seems unattainable especially for working families. Does your company offer work/life balance benefits? I know what you're thinking, "That sounds expensive." However, it doesn't have to be. MIBN offers its business members and partners complimentary work/life balance consulting - we help your company design a program that fits in your budget and your corporate culture. Believe it or not, many work/life programs can be free to the company, it just takes a little creativity and resourcefulness - and you well know, moms can be very creative and resourceful. This is available to ALL members at any level.

The Learning Center - Sometimes finding a reliable resource takes longer than getting the job done. Through MIBN you can find credible information and resources for what you need to build your business. We've sought out the expert advice for you, and the services have some great alliance partners that can help you build your business faster and better. We deliver this information to you in several different ways:

Moms Marketplace - The Moms Marketplace is a shopping mall of sorts for all visitors to Moms In Business Network and The International Association of Working Mothers' website. This marketplace is viewed by tens of thousands of website visitors each year who are looking to do business with companies that understand what moms need. Have your business listing in the Moms Marketplace is a key resource for easy global marketing your business and for your own needs in finding other business moms to give your business to.

Online Membership Directory - Here's a great way to connect and promote. You'll see to the left of our website, a rotating view of some of our members. If you choose to have your profile available, you can have site visitors from around the world know more about you and your company. In addition, once you are a member, you can build a friends list of other MIBN members, and you can send private messages to certain members. It's just another great tool to market your business and network.

Online Networking - Do you need something to grow your business? Are you promoting an event your company is hosting? Do you want to hire quality employees? Whatever it is...Just ask! Through our online marketing section, you can sell, buy, ask for help and more. It's a great way to make connections.

MomBlogs - "A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world." Blogs (or Weblogs) are basically online journals or diaries which are great for sharing information and ideas. You can now create your own Mom Blog and be a part of the blogging phenomenon - tell the world or you can limit your blog to be viewable by only a few close members.

The International Association of Working Mothers (IAWM) - Small Business Members and Corporate Partners can offer membership to the IAWM to their employees, and fully utilize that organization for employee benefits and education. Your employees can take a variety of teleconferences and in-person conferences to enhance their job performance and satisfaction. For larger corporate members, we provide co-branded event and education opportunties exclusively for your employees.
