The Pixel Boutique: A Mompreneur in Technology
SUCCESS.com has partnered with Lifetime Moms to introduce you to some outstanding women. These women are a lot like you—they range from stay-at-home moms to successful career women, entrepreneurs and CEOs of their homes. They all attended Tory Johnson’s Spark & Hustle women’s conference this summer to learn more about growing their small business and found they learned something about themselves. We’ll feature one Lifetime Moms attendee from each city’s stop on the Spark & Hustle conference.
Meet Nicole Bateman
Technology is taking over our lives. So how does one find balance if your job is IN technology? Nicole Bateman’s family is the answer.
“I am first and foremost a wife to my college sweetheart and a mom to three teenage boys,” says Bateman. She is also a proud Chihuahua owner.
The mompreneur from Vail, Arizona, is a graphic and web designer, who customizes websites and blogs.
“I love pretty, girly things on and off the web. Fonts and html make me simply giddy,” says Bateman.
Her business, The Pixel Boutique, aims to help both new and experienced bloggers and small businesses achieve their online goals.

- Assaraf: 6 Hats of Managing a Successful Business

It’s said you will only be remembered for one of two things: the problems you solve or the ones you create. Abraham Lincoln made a difference that changed the world forever, but so did Hitler.

- Go For Bold!
The Perfect Storm: A Trifecta of Opportunity
The new issue of SUCCESS hits newsstand today! This issue features our cover story with Richard Branson on Going for Bold. July is one of our most important issues. This is the month we focus on entrepreneurship, and it couldn’t be at a better time.While it might look like a tough time for the national or global economy, we are actually in the middle of the perfect storm for entrepreneurship. In fact, it is my prediction that 20 to 30 years from now we will look back longingly at these times and call this the greatest window of entrepreneurial opportunity of our lifetime. It is over the next 12-18 months that the wildly successful companies of tomorrow will be born or make their bold move.
