Meet Mary Hickman Kruszewski

Mary Hickman Kruszewski of MHK Marketing Group
creates customized marketing solutions to help small to
medium sized companies grow their business by making
them more visible, more credible and more connected
with their customers and prospects.

Prior to her move to consulting, she held several

need a “go to” resource that will pull their marketing
efforts together and provide on-going support and
consistency,” says Mary.   “That’s where I can help, and
why the work is so exciting – it’s a great feeling to see
a good marketing plan add value to a client's business,”
she adds.

Mary has two wonderful daughters and a husband with
a demanding schedule –all of who keep her very busy!  
But in her spare time she enjoys renovating her 1922
home, fitness, yoga, her yellow lab, volunteering at
her daughters’ school and inspiring others in business.

Meet Lara Galloway

My experiences as a mom and an entrepreneur have
been some of the most challenging and rewarding of
my life. I am grateful to have learned to allow myself
to be all the different things that I was before I had
kids (sister, daughter, wife, friend, colleague,
businesswoman, silly girl laughing at funny movies
and crying over sad songs). Adding to that amazing mix,
I chose to start my own coaching practice four years
ago. Nothing I knew from my years in academia and
Corporate America prepared me for being a life coach,
an entrepreneur and a mom, all at the same time.

I am passionate about supporting moms who choose to
be in business as a lifestyle choice. I put the essence of
who I am into motherhood AND my business. I know
that all of myself that I contribute to one gives back
more to the other. Challenging? Yes. But totally worth
it.

I offer coaching and consulting to mompreneurs who
are ready to make significant changes to reach their
goals in life and business. Here's what I have to offer:
All of my business coaching services are geared toward
making you more successful, and helping you do that
faster, with ease and grace. I provide focus, support,
an objective third party, and (when requested) expert
advice on various topics related to self-employment,
developing and marketing your business, and
integrating your business with your life. With mindful
goal-setting and accountability for your actions, you
will achieve the results you want in record time.

Time-Out for Mom!

I am a systems girl - I set up systems at home and for
work to make things run smoother and more efficiently
from how to organize the laundry, to no working from
4pm to 9pm on school nights, to working 4 nights a
week from 10pm to 2am. I am always trying to improve
processes for better efficiency.

I have had a varied work history from customer service
trainer for a health insurance company, to a restaurant
owner with my husband, to deputy mayor, to assistant
manager for the Limited Company at Bath & Body
Works, to mom entrepreneur of an online business that
sells items made by moms for moms - including my
signature and best selling Moms Rock & SuperMom shirts.

I work at home full-time on two businesses:
1) TimeOutMom.com - a thriving online store selling
dozens of products made by a network cottage industry
of stay-at-home moms.
2) TimeOutMom.com Business Services - a consulting
business empowering and training business owners to
maximize their online presence using blogs, twitter,
product analysis, web-site analysis, and search engine
optimization.  

Using search engine optimization (SEO) and specific
online campaigns, I can confidently create campaigns to
drive people to your web-site, but it doesn't matter
how many people go to your web-site if you don't have
what they want to buy.

A fast growing segment of my business consulting is
working with retail product customers and reviewing
their current product selection and analyzing each
product to see if it aligns with what customers are
searching for on the internet.  If no one is searching for
"wooden ducks" on Google or Yahoo, then there is no
point in selling them.  Now, there are actually 18,500
people a month looking for wooden ducks and 40,500 a
month looking for wall crosses. How do you decide
which products to keep selling and which to ditch and
find better ones?
