I am fortunate to be married to my “best friend” and biggest supporter ~ my husband Paul. We have been married for nine “never a dull moment” years. We are blessed with two wonderful children, Amanda and Jacob, who always seem to keep things interesting.
I am a busy, passionate Mom who is a multi-business owner, mom entrepreneur, special needs blogger, author and advocate.
QUALITIES: personable, fast learner, tech savvy, creative, passionate
I have been in the administrative field for awhile working for large companies like Johnson & Johnson to small companies like Little Blessings Preschool. At Johnson & Johnson, I was primarily in the areas of marketing and sales providing administrative support to directors, coordinating sales & marketing events, and managing projects. I thoroughly enjoyed what I did. I loved to be creative, to help others and to see the end results of my projects.
Becoming A Stay At Home Mom-preneur!
However, I found out when I was four months pregnant that my son had a congenital heart defect. He was then diagnosed at birth with Down Syndrome. As the mother of a child with special needs, I knew right from the day Jacob was born that I needed to stay home to care for him. However, I still had the passion and drive to continue working. So in order for me to have the flexibility to do both I became my own boss and created Marla Murasko Enterprises, Inc.
Merging all of my passions under one umbrella…
Merging all my passions and goals together under one umbrella, that which is Marla Murasko Enterprises, Inc. was easy. Becoming a mom entrepreneur was the answer! It allowed me the flexibility to care for my son and the ability to continue utilizing my skills and talents as an administrative professional to “provide creative solutions for other professionals business needs!”
My mission became clear, providing high-quality support to other entrepreneurs while continuing to be … Chief Family Organizer = MOM!
Finding My Niche!
With my focus primarily on my special needs son and mom entrepreneurs I realized that my attention was targeting a niche market of moms ~ special needs moms! I soon realized that I enjoyed empowering and supporting other like-minded mothers who’s primary focus was caring for their special needs child, however still had a passion or drive to work. So I began an online community ~ the SPECIALMOMS ENTREPRENEUR CLUB! Here we empower each other personally and professionally!
I also realized that I loved advocating and sharing in my son’s accomplishments, struggles and just celebrating life and the beauty of Down Syndrome. So I soon realized that along with being a mom, entrepreneur, author, advocate I am now a Special Needs Mom Blogger.
So I guess in a nut-shell I get the simple pleasure of helping others ~ not a bad trait to have!
