Chrystie Corns Wins Top Honors in Mom Business Competition
Portland, ME, May 03, 2012 --(PR.com)-- From among thousands of contestants, Chrystie Corns of ILoveToGossip.com has been ranked #69th in StartupNation.com’s 2012 Leading Moms in Business competition sponsored by Web.com and Sam's Club.

Over 350,000 votes were cast in support of the 2012 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.

"I'm very proud to be named one of StartUp Nations's Leading Moms in business because I started this business to be able to help other moms and families make smarter financial decisions and feel that it has come full circle," said Chrystie Corns. The winner’s profile for I Love To Gossip can be found at http://www.startupnation.com/leading-moms-in-business/contestant/12115/index.php.

The 2012 Leading Moms in Business ranking highlights some of the dominant trends, motivations and attributes among moms in business. They include:

A great eye for providing attractive discounts, coupons, savings and value, all especially important to consumer moms of the recession era.

A likelihood to come up with innovative products and solutions to address the challenging maze of motherhood. It’s an environment that demands resourcefulness.

Conscience-driven business, where “doing well” is just fine, but the real rush comes from doing good.

The attraction of being your own boss looms large for moms wanting to take control they just can’t find in a day job.

Sustainable solutions and responsible business practices are increasingly paramount.

Making the most of social media for business benefit is seemingly a birthright for the socially adept moms.
