Multipreneurs

Welcome to our Multipreneur show Thursday April 15 12pm EST! For those of you who don't know, multipreneurs are entrepreneurs that have created multiple streams of income rather than focusing their efforts on one business alone. Many of the wealthiest of business-people are proponents of becoming part of different companies that are already in the marketplace instead of focusing on only one business. This week we invite a few well established multipreneurs to join in our conversation. Melissa Lierman www.timeoutmom.com & www.liermannewmediamarketing.com and John Piro www.johnpiro.com join our very own Three Wise Girls multipreneur Debbie Barth and share what they do and what led them to become multipreneurs. It is interesting that the other commonality here is that all of their businesses are there to assist others as they grow their businesses.
