Lisa Druxman, Founder of Stroller Strides, is one lucky mom. But her success didn’t come easy and a lot of hard work was involved. After having her daughter, Lisa began to seek ways to get herself back into shape but also wanted to spend as much time as possible with her daughter. It was this that sprang life into the concept that eventually developed her successful business, Stroller Strides.
Stroller Strides is a fitness program that incorporates your children and their strollers into your workout routine. Lisa started the business out of her home and at one time she had 8 women - with children in tow - coming in and out of her house, each with their own set of keys.
It’s amazing to think, but from those early days eventually grew the successful Stroller Strides franchise and Lisa is now helping moms everywhere stay in shape - and she’s got the luxury of still being able to be a work at home mom while running her franchise.
Lisa was a recent guest on The Small Business Trends Radio Show where she shared her inspiring story and discusses in detail what it was like to create the franchise. If you’d like to hear Lisa’s story, please do so by visiting this post titled: How A Mompreneur Created A Franchise From Home. Her story is sure to inspire moms everywhere.
Lisa sure does have an interesting story and I find myself in amazement of her accomplishments. It’s very inspiring to think of all the ups and downs she must’ve gone through and how she still had the ability to rise above it all and make Stroller Strides such a success. Great story. I love hearing these kind of stories.
Steve,
It seems like Lisa’s managed to maintain her work life and her family by consolidating them into one fun project! Raising kids, with the expenses we face today (and they’re not getting any better!) can be as much a blessing as it is a burden, but with Stroller Strides she found her niche. Good for her! It looks like a wonderful product too. I also like how she gets her kids involved and interested in her business! Working at home can really be the most efficient way of making money on your own schedule, and maintaining your day-to-day life. I’ve been using Microsoft’s new Office Live Small Business to do just that, and it’s just fabulous! It’s perfect for any small business, WAHM’s and entrepreneurs alike. It has a highly organized e-mail system (even checks the status of sent messages!) and an easy-to-use webpage designer, which means no HTML experience necessary! With OLSB, you can really build a strong and distinguished internet presence for your business.

Oh and the best part is that Microsoft not only hosts everything on your website for free, you even get a free “.com” web address (just like www.strollerstrides.com) for an added touch of professionalism. This is really the tool home businesses can benefit from and grow their business to infinite proportions. I work with Microsoft, so if you or any readers have any questions, please e-mail me at k-rosenberg@live.com. I’m always around, so feel free to contact me any time. Home business, with the right tools and the right attitude, can be an incredibly beneficial move for any family. Thank you so much for the wonderful read, I hope to hear from you soon!
Best,
Kimberly
