Women entrepreneur is one who has faith on her capabilities, who believes in her ideas and creativity, who is ready to accept her mistake and rectify them and has the ability to take clear decisions. Women entrepreneurship as a group of women who have broken away from the beaten track and are exploring new avenues of economic participation and a desire of doing something on their own. Women in 21st century is no longer restricted to the single role of home maker but is now considered as a multitasking machine that has a talent of raising the family while generating an income by being Mumpreneurs. Rayman owns the power to change the world she can be a Dutiful daughter a loving wife and a successful entrepreneur all at the same time. She has an inbuilt quality to balance both her career and family simultaneously. Today women have proved upward that they can perform better than men by entering into sector which were known to be male dominated and have written their success stories. The trend is visible in business sector that they have climbed up the corporate ladder and have struck out on their own as entrepreneurs. Some of these women are mothers who manage their lives on their own terms. It is clear from the recent trend that the mumps will be a new face of women's entrepreneur ship. As kids are no longer a barrier to business success but it is seen as opportunity for those who have taken up the role of mother. The term umpires was coined to describe such women who juggle the responsibilities of parenthood with an exciting but uncertain world of self employment. Business ideas are inspired from the pregnancy, motherhood, babies and children or women's new role as a mother and work hours are designed around the kids. Although there is a rise in Mumpreneurs network but still many mumperneurs are not working on their great ideas, this is due to the fact that their journey of being entrepreneurs is full of thorns such as lack of resources for raising the capital, lack of family support, lack of technology, lack of skill of doing business etc. Mumpreneurs are engaged in the business of storytelling clubs, clothing for pregnant women and for children, educational games, nursery wall art and picture for children's bedrooms, baby carrier for working women, breastfeeding is scarf which provides support without the need for a cushion etc.
