We are a community of mothers-in-business, building viable businesses and fostering successful relationships.
BMN is designed to make online and physical connections for Momtrepreneurs as we share a common goal of developing our businesses while simultaneously parenting our children.
The Bossmom Network was started by B3BossMom Michelle Gordon in 2014, almost 10 years after she discovered her passion for parenting and impacting children. With more than 15 years of experience in the parenting & child industry space, she saw the need to create and has added a support network for mothers-in-business.
As the founding editor of B3 Parenting Magazine – the Caribbean’s first dedicated lifestyle magazine for parents, Michelle also created Island Child Style, BOLDgirl and OurSons – all confidence-building and youth development platforms for children.
“I love being a parent and I love helping other parents to maximize their journey with their children. However, over the years I have seen so many mothers who go into business face a myriad of challenges that I believe can be avoided with the application of best practices in both business and parenting. That balance is possible. I’m here to help Momtrepreneurs to strike that balance, be it from me or ‘through’ me, so that we can all live our best BossMom lives.
We exist to support other BossMoms who look to a community of successful, like-minded women as we effectively and efficiently balance family and career through information, products, ideas, advice, tools and services.
As a PR Professional and a mother, I have had the opportunity to be exposed to many mavens in various industries. Michelle Gordon is one such maven that is the perfect trifecta blending the right amount professionalism, expertise and warmth to everyone she touches. Not only is she creative and innovative, Michelle ensures that she delivers what is promised. In my past experience working with Michelle on celebrity collaborations with Christina Milian and Cynthia Bailey at Beaches Negril, and also the Big Baby Shower Expo – she over-delivered. Her magazine is well respected and through real stories of challenges and success, Michelle is able to instill ideas in parents about life with kids and the wisdom and experiences we get as we get older. She is a knowledgeable and fun resource for parents finding their way through life’s journey with their kids. Michelle truly influences every person that she meets. She goes beyond talking and truly connects with people.
Michelle Gordon is an inspiring, empowering and creative force of nature. When she produces one of her must-attend children’s fashion shows, you know it will be extremely organized, and well attended by the best thought leaders in the children and parenting llifestyle platform. She has a great Rolodex and knows how to reach her target audience. A mother of two, Michelle knows what it means to balance and multi task a full work load, while raising her children. She has a strong point of view, is a great curator, has an amazing sense of style and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her.
After spending thousands and thousands of dollars trying to help my daughter, one session with Michelle was what I really needed. I was over-protecting my daughter - not allowing her to grow into her own self, her own thoughts, her own being. I called Michelle and introduced my daughter to her. She asked a few questions casually and then said in 10 minutes " I will speak to you." In my mind I said "What, she can't be finished" well she was. She called me a few days later and said "the problem is not your daughter, it's you." Wow light bulb moment. I decided to look on my approach with her and to GOD be the glory I have seen major changes, just by applying what Michelle told me. Her teacher sent me a message to tell me she had seen changes to her school work. Michelle thank you so much, You are surely BOSS Lady!!!!!
As a working mother of four kids I feel blessed to have someone like Michelle Gordon in my corner. A smart, positive, hardworking role model, a mother, a business owner and advocate for all. I have found her to be a tremendous resource, as an educator and nurturer of the youth and their parents and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
I am sure most parents will agree that you really learn to become a parent when you become one. Michelle exemplifies this for me. A very involved mother-of-two has learnt and honed her parenting skills by simply being mummy. While there are many books written on parenting, the best lessons come from those harnessed out of shared experiences. Not only are opportunities for “doing it” another way shared but you also come to realise that your story is not necessarily unique. Michelle not only shares her own journey, but immerses herself in the experiences of others as she listens, shares and inspires parents to travel the sometimes painful, heartbreaking, yet most joyful road of being a mum and ultimately a parent.
