The over one hundred women that make up The Local Moms Network are a diverse group. The mothers that run our hyperlocal sites across the country have experience in marketing, teaching, law, and more. Now, of course, they are all female entrepreneurs—mompreneurs. One of our favorite parts of our growing network is sharing advice, stories of what has worked and what hasn’t, and inspiration. Here are some books that our moms are loving—hope they help you as you plan, start or grow your business, too!
