Starting over from divorce and business failure; living in a storage room, and taking showers in the back of a warehouse with two kids in tow.

According to the US Census Bureau, the SBA and Federal Statistics for Dallas/Forth Worth, a minimum of 29,000 enterprises are failing right now with at least 76,000 business owners and their family members distressed on what to do next. Little do these enterprises realize their power and that 85% of small business owners, like them, provide 79% of the jobs in the US.

“We know what it’s like to start over from divorce and business failure, and I was escaping domestic abuse. In 1999 we were both living in a storage room of a downtown building, taking showers with hoses in the back of a warehouse in swimsuits. Starting over with two kids that were 9 and 11 years old”, shares Angelina Musik-Comp, founder of the MOMtrepreneurs Network .
 

Husband and wife team, Daniel and Angelina Musik-Comp choose to address these issues head on out of personal experience. From meeting each other when both were starting over to overcoming challenges that entrepreneurs and enterprising couples face that very few counselor, coaches and resources know how to address. They will hold workshops through their MENtrepreneurs and MOMtrepreneurs Networks; 2x Awarded by the Small Business Administration and recognized by Governor Rick Perry in 2004 for making a significant difference in the lives of small business.

“MENtrepreneurs - Enterprising Men of Valor™ is as a tool for the ‘Tribe’ of enterprising men of valor that feel a sense of destiny and a call to leadership but lack guidance and local fellowship. We focus on real life challenges and empower men of all ages to succeed better as a man, husband, father and entrepreneur,” Comp shares.

Dallas’ own Nationally Awarded Memory Training Champion Ron White (http://RonWhiteTraining.com) has been a client of the couples since 2001, through their media, marketing, web technology and business consulting firm, IntelligentNetware.com.   

“They mentored me through the initial entrepreneurial and awareness campaign process so I could reach a greater audience with my program. I can honestly say I have gone from $70,000 in debt to debt free and more money in the bank than I could have ever imagined,” White says, who was recently demonstrating his talents on Martha Stewart’s show.
 

“MOMtrepreneurs™ – Women Helping Women in Life and Business goal is to get women focused on their immediate provisional needs through learning how to monetize their passion and expertise ‘now’. From our physical workshops, online small groups and forums we will continue to mentor, teach and support our attendees beyond our events,” Musik-Comp shares.

The couple’s Red Dress Society ‘Angel’ Awards will help business owners connect their passion and resources to the needs of assertive women and couples behind social causes in the Forth Worth/Dallas and surrounding communities. Nominate now through the http://RedDressSociety.com

U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison shares in a letter congratulating the Red Dress Society ‘Ange'l’ Award recipients and founders, “I salute your powerful vision for women. As a woman who has been able to attain a position of leadership, I understand the importance of empowering women. Your contributions play a large role in the advancement of women everywhere.”

Stacie Ann Martin, founder and president of Single Parent Advocate, has recently  formed a strategic relationship with MOMtrepreneurs and MENtrepreneurs as a small business and personal training resource for the Dallas/Ft. Worth and surrounding areas through a June 12th workshop.

“There is a difference between a dream, and a life focus. MOMtrepreneurs and MENtrepreneurs offers a program that takes dreams and turn them inside out by delivering a framework to support our commitments, our choices, and our character. They support integrity and strategy. These workshops provide attendees a toolbox full of education, inspiration, and practical ‘know how’, that will indeed make dreams a reality if one chooses to use them, “Martin says.

June 12th workshop proceeds will go towards http://SingleParentAdvocate.com, which offers hope, healing, education and a network of support to deliver resources to single parent families in all economic and sociological situations, such that the children are more secure and equipped.

Each location will launch a MOMtrepreneurs and MENtrepreneurs Chapter for ongoing support, small business training, and networking physically and digitally.  A percentage of the half day events' proceed will also go towards attendee entrepreneurial scholarships and that community’s Red Dress Society ‘Angel’ Award process. 

Cost of tickets that include workshop materials and a 6 month online mentoring/training program range from $149 to $349 (for additional book materials). Corporate Sponsorship Packages are available in the form of physical, print, media and digital promotion, as well as booths for event attendees to promote their businesses through.
