I recently wrote about how technologies like email fax are helping women balance between family and their business responsibilities. I said:

“Even though many women want the opportunity to work, many also don’t want to forfeit their right to have a family . . . how do you work that baby into your meeting schedule? As long as businesses are tied to offices, with office machinery, it will always be hard for women to balance work and family.”

But we live in a modern age where business people are no longer tied to their offices. A recent article at Entrepreneur.com by Alexa Vaugn talks about women who started their own businesses while pregnant. For many, it turned out to be a good thing. Vaugn quotes Penny Domschot:

“Being pregnant and being a mom teaches you to be a master juggler that goes all day long–and that’s really the essence of being an entrepreneur. So it’s really the best training you can get in so many ways.”

The combination of advancing technology with progressing social attitudes are making it easier and easier for women to be successful in the business world. Indeed, it’s also helping men who want to be involved with their families as well, not having to spend long hours at the office, but remaining competitive in their career. We live in an exciting time for independent minded business people.
