Little Citizens is a clothing company out of Vancouver that offers 100% certified organic knits that have been made in small batches using water-based inks. The patters are absolutely adorable and I love the soft use of colours.

I noticed that the owner, Jenny, was a mom as well as being a business entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur is tough and I always admire those who decide to set out on their own. I asked Jenny for her top tips on being both an entrepreneur and a mom. Here’s what she had to say.

Tips for Being an Entrepreneur and a Mom from Jenny White at Little Citizens

1. First and foremost, being a mom always comes first.

2. Be proud of what you are doing. Being a mother and a business owner is a huge undertaking and I applaud those who are determined to make it work!

3. Make a list – it will help you to stay organized and accountable. I always find it helpful to start the week off with a list of goals for the day, week and month ahead.

4. Surround yourself with people who will cheer you on. This can be a community of like-minded mothers, business women, your partner, friends, parents, siblings or social media connections. There will be tough days, moments of doubt and bumps along the way but a strong support system can make all the difference and keep you going when you don’t think you can.

5. Do what you love and love what you do!

Thanks Jenny!
