Regina Baker is a computer geek at heart.  She loves everything about computers, how they operate as they do and the limitless opportunities with software applications.

Her background is in Procurement and Information Technology as the Y2K Specialist for one of the oldest chemical and polymers companies in the United States.

After being laid off due to downsizing and even through the passing of her husband Ruben to cancer in 2002, Regina has learned to rely and trust in the wisdom and will of God. Regina says, “I knew there was something for me to continue to live for, to empower others and to have a profound affect in giving instead of just receiving.”

Having various roles in computer technology led her to where she is today as the Co-Founder of Wahmcart.com, a full ecommerce software solution for work at home moms as well as the small business community.

When my partner and I first talked about Wahmcart, we wanted to provide a full ecommerce software solution for work at home moms BUT without the huge price tag. Our goal was, and is, to reach the masses with our full ecommerce solution as opposed to only those who can afford a high ticket service comparable to what we offer.

“We believe that small business dominate a large portion of the market place however, a huge percentage of small businesses miss the opportunity to provide a secure environment like Wahmcart due to the lack of funds. Therefore they settle for free carts and not as secure or easy shopping options for potential customers.

This is why Wahmcart was born. Our goal is to educate the small business individual (sole proprietors) and companies with ecommerce solutions that will allow them to work smarter, not harder while at the same time providing an affordable solution that the “average” person can afford.

In doing so, I made it a point to become a Certified Business Coach.  In this role, I’m able to coach individuals on the importance of a suitable ecommerce software solution for their business while answering questions concerning internet and affiliate marketing in a easy to understand language.

Regina’s Success Tips:

1. “Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it.  The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it - in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith and edurance.”  John Maxwell

2. Don’t limit God’s ability to do by your capacity to receive.”  With an open mind, willing heart, and positive attitude, YOU CAN achieve anything you want for your life!

3.  “People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” John Maxwell

I recently saw this video on YouTube, the gist of the video is that Koreans control the retail level of black hair in our communities. The video details how Koreans control 80% of beauty supplies in our community and now Koreans are slowly buying black air care manufactures.This video is a testament to why African Americans need to own business and create their own business but more importanly we need to understand the business of money.

Here is my opinion, until and unless we start to study business, understand how money works and as importantly create our own businesses, we will face the continued erosion of our economic base.

I have been writing this blog for almost a year, I just looked at my metrics for the blog and I actually registered te domain on February 10, 2007 so it is just about a year. I have waxed and waned on this blog sometimes excited and other times less so but growth has been steady, more and more people read and I am excited about the future.When, I analyze the list of people that registered, the statistics are interesting and one of the most interesting statistics is that the overwhelming number of people that have registered are women ( I assume black women) and the overwhelming questions about financial success are “How do I start and Where do I find the money”.The Start A Business Backwards Teleseminar will answer those questions but often not only do you need the tactics but you also need strategy and encouragement. One of the ways that I’ve been successful is by learning from others (some would say borrowing and idea) and implementing the idea.To help black women learn from others, I am very proud and excited to kickoff the African American Womens Entrepreneur Series.
