All the lovely momstown ladies gathered at the momstown Headquarters for a weekend of learning and bonding. As always it was a truly empowering weekend full of learning and fun!
The Cole notes version of momstowns' history; 4 years ago 2 fabulous women started momstown in their town of Burlington, it quickly grew with more chapters opening after just one year. Within months of that licensing of the chapters began, the momstown movement was in full forward motion and the momstown fever was catching across Ontario!!!! Soon the fever spread all the way to Alberta and this month Winnipeg will be catching the fever too! Last year the HQ run chapters were licensed out and now all chapters are owned by strong, smart, motivated women, moms to be exact.
So back to the weekend... in short it was fabulous. I was a tad late to day one but arrived just in time to get my picture taken... not my favorite thing to do, but it was fun with all the ladies laughing and enjoying themselves.
The energy was high and the ladies were so pumped to head out to the tweetup planned for that evening. Going to a tweetup was a first for me and I was super excited for the evening ahead. I was not disappointed and it was an awesome evening full of incredible women, all mom entrepreneurs, who shared the energy with us and kept our night full of fun. Truly amazing women, and I was so glad to meet them all!
After some laughs, a salut to "drinking the kool-aid", we made our way back to headquarters for our traditional sleepover, it was the perfect way to end the day and prepare for the next.
Day two was truly motivational. We were pumped up with plans for the future and shared some inspiring tear worthy moments. You know you are surrounded by wonderful women when they cheer your success and tear up at your triumphs.
Some great speakers shared their wisdom and taught us some very valuable lessons that are not just business worthy, but life worthy.
The most important things I learned this weekend:
- Believe in yourself
- Believe in what you do
- Being happy IS success
Moms are the most powerful people in the world, don't underestimate us!
