My mother was a solopreneur. She actually still is. Over the years of our childhood, my mother went from being a speech pathologist to owning a poster frame business and a hat distribution business (she had a partner in the hat business) from our apartment in Manhattan. Today, she has a very successful executive consulting business that she runs from our parents home in Jerusalem. My mother was actually quite heroic. She was a solopreneur and mother of 7 all at once.
