Welcome to MOMtrepreneurs™
I’m Angelina Musik, the Founder of the MOMtrepreneurs™. I feel it’s important to share my life as an entrepreneur with an ongoing passion to make a difference in the lives of others, as well as a few challenges along the way to keep it ‘real’.

I emigrated to the US in 1978 by moving to San Antonio, Texas from Germany. I was 14 years old. I started through having a babysitting service, like many young women do.

To try and fit in I watched many movies to learn about the ‘American’ culture and lose my accent along the way. My  high school drama teacher said that was the best way for me to learn; I became an actress along the way out of necessity.

In my late teens I learned how to manage myself as a model and talent, and started teaching modeling and acting workshops.  I also freelanced as a makeup artist and photographer’s assistant. Unfortunately, I didn't have a mentor or someone to tell me move to New York or LA or even Dallas to pursue my dreams on a greater scale. 

My parents thought I should major in accounting, as I loved the calculator, and missed the opportunity to recognize where my passion and real talents lie. So most of my life I’ve had to figure it out on my own. The road with bruised knees.

I married and then opened a registered home childcare around raising my two children.  I designed the best way to make the most amount of money with the least amount of stress and taught others.

Since one of my passions was to encourage the belief system of youth. I would equip them with knowledge on how to conceive and achieve their dreams and offer them the direction I lacked growing up.

In the early 1990s I moved from San Antonio to Houston, Texas. Once my kids entered elementary school I scaled back to just providing before and after school care and move forward with a cleaning and organizing business.

After four years as a praise worship leader for two churches I wanted to go on my own. One of my outlets in dealing with ‘things’ in life was to write and sing my songs. For me that is great therapy. So I funded the production of my first album as a Christian Artist.

In January of 1999, I moved back to San Antonio when my kids where almost in high school and re-launched my cleaning and organizing business that now also included personal development and professional consulting.

Unfortunately, in May of 1999 my kids and I had to flee from my husband, their dad, out of Texas to a safe place in WA state because of his unstable mental illness situation.

Even during the time we were homeless I still took care of my clients to make money until it wasn’t safe for me to stay in San Antonio anymore. I was blessed that I could fund myself out of my difficult situation. And that’s how I met Daniel Comp, my current husband. Through the Internet in May of 1999.

It took over a week to reach Tacoma, WA state.  We lived in a warehouse and took showers with a hose and our bathing suits on. Matter of fact, we had to check the schedule of the NW Wrestling team to make sure when it was safe to take a shower without then showing up for wrestling practice.

It was an adventurous and scary time for me. I kept my kids minds occupied on the adventure and the future that would come by starting over, instead of the grim reality of what we were really going through.

Later that same year their dad would have an attorney cash in a favor to have him get custody of the kids over me. I was devastated. They were with my for five months in WA state and then we were separated for almost two years before being together again as a family.

After being in Tacoma, WA for a couple of weeks I applied for welfare and started exploring my options. Their WorkFirst program meant that I could get welfare support as long as I was being trained for a job that would eventually get me off of welfare.

I knew what I had wanted to do.  I was looking beyond my situation on how I could reach as many women as possible who were going through the same thing as me and teach them how to fund their family out of their mess. WorkFirst agreed to fund me to develop my skills in web technology and programming through Daniel’s new company.
