RSSFOXBusiness Features Cybertary's Patricia Beckman
In an article entitled “Fish Sticks Pushed Mom to Become an Entrepreneur,” FOXBusiness's Liza Porteus Viana relates the Who, What, Where, When, How, Why, and Day in the Life of Cybertary founder and CEO Patricia Beckman.
The titular fish sticks come from the “Why” part:
“Everyone has their ‘a-ha’ moment. Sadly mine was over fish sticks,” Beckman said. The “fish sticks” moment occurred when Beckman was preparing dinner for her girls and didn’t know which one wanted ketchup and which one wanted tartar sauce.
“It hit me that a mother should know these things,” she said. “Since I worked such long hours and traveled often on business, I had lost touch with my family. I didn’t know my daughters’ friends, missed school events and recitals, and the girls had even stopped coming to my side of the bed in the middle of the night, since Dad was the one who was always there for them. I thought – ‘I’m the Mommy!’” So, Beckman resigned from her corporate job and set out to create her own perfect “dream job” that would allow her to be more available for her family while meeting her professional objectives and financial goals.
Congratulations, Patricia, on the great exposure!
