Why mums make great entrepreneurs
Mums often make natural entrepreneurs and have the motivation to set up their own business to balance work and family needs, says a leading business expert who is promoting grassroots entrepreneurialism.
Working for working mums
What do you do when your children are off sick or there are medical checks, clinics to attend, inset days or other myriad child-related appointments to keep? There are only so many days you can take off work, as many mothers have discovered. Flexible working can seem the only solution for mothers who want or need to work, but how can you find it? Enter Gillian Nissim. She is a working mum of two boys and found herself and many of her friends in a similar position, needing flexible yet challenging work, but not being able to find it. She set about doing something about it.
Networking for parents

Guerrilla Marketing for the Small Marketing Budget

Entrepreneurs Sometimes It Pays To Be Flexible – Sometimes It Does Not
Entrepreneurs are often told to be flexible in their approach to business, but often it is imperative that you are NOT flexible. Here’s a few examples.
The simplest idea can make the best business
Babylicious was the first brand of frozen babyfood to launch in the UK and is now the latest producer in Europe. The idea behind Babylicious was simple, as a mother of 2 small children founder Sally Preston wanted to give me babies the best possible food, no salt, additive or fillers, just good quality food. She discovered the only way to do this was to make it herself as jars and cans were very heavily processed and tasted terrible. There was huge market opportunity to provide quality frozen food for babies, so she did it herself!
Returning to Work After Maternity Leave
Having a baby is a life changing event. Just as you are getting used to the demands of caring for your baby, you may have to consider returning to work.
