Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- From among thousands of contestants, Embrace Activism has been ranked 80th in StartupNation.com’s 2010 Leading Moms in Business competition, sponsored by Infusionsoft.

Over 709,000 votes were cast in support of the 2010 contestants, reflecting immense interest and supportiveness for moms building businesses at the same time they tend to their families.

“There’s been a sea change among moms as they’ve come to realize that adding entrepreneurship to their lives brings exhilaration and immense gratification, not to mention supplemental—sometimes primary---income to their families in these dicey economic times,” says Rich Sloan, chief startupologist and co-founder of StartupNation.
Embrace Activism (www.EmbraceActivism.com) is honored to receive this recognition from StartupNation.com and to be included in the group of 200 businesses lead by innovative, creative, compassionate and driven women who also happened to be mothers.  The winner’s profile for Embrace Activism can be found at http://www.startupnation.com/leading-moms-in-business/con....

The 2010 Leading Moms in Business ranking, conducted in collaboration with Ladies Who Launch and The National Association for Moms in Business highlights some of the dominant trends, motivations and attributes among moms in business.  They include:
•    Creating innovative products and solutions to address the challenging maze of  
         motherhood.  It’s an environment that demands resourcefulness.
•    Conscience-driven businesses, where “doing well” is just fine, but the real motivation
         comes from “doing good”.
•    Sustainable solutions and responsible business practices are increasingly paramount.
•    Making the most of social media to leverage the business into advantageous
         marketing/advertising situations.
