What is Mumpreneurs™?

This inspirational and unique one day workshop is run by Coaching Mums in partnership with Business Link. The workshops are designed for mums who are at the very early stages of setting up a business. Mumpreneurs™ will provide you wiht support, motivation, resources, insight and pointers on aspects of starting up a new business.

During the workshop, you will also meet an inspirational mums who will tell you their stories. You can ask them all the questions that you have never dared to ask before, learn how they made the move to self-employment and how they make it work as “mumpreneurs”.

If you don’t yet have a business idea, then this is also the workshop for you. During the workshop, we will start to examine what you’d really love to do… what you haven’t even dared to dream, and give you some practical tips on how you can set up a business

Who is it for?

To come on this workshop, you need to be a mum. You can be a single mum, a mum-to-be, a mum with a baby, a mum with grown-up children, toddlers, teenagers... You get the gist!

You are probably contemplating setting up in business. It’s likely that you’ve had an idea for a business, but perhaps:

• You haven’t told anyone yet
• You’re suffering from “reasons why it won’t work” syndrome
• You’re suffering from “reasons why I can’t do it” syndrome
• You just don’t know where to start
• You haven’t got much support around you
• You’re raring and ready to go, but you just need some encouragement and a helping hand

The aim of mumpreneurs™:

The aim of the workshop is to provide a safe, light-hearted, fun environment where you can:

• Get some clarity on where you are and where you want to be
• Brainstorm ideas and share resources
• Be inspired by mums who run their own business – (i.e real role models, not unapproachable women with an army of helpers!)
• Meet a community of other mums who are at the same stage as you
• Get some practical pointers on how to take your business idea forward

The objectives of mumpreneurs™:

The aim is that at the end of your participation in Mumpreneurs™ you will emerge having:

• Explored your inkling of a business idea and given it the light of day
• Significantly squashed beliefs that you “can’t” or that you are “not the entrepreneurial type”
• Have actions that you are comfortable with to take your idea to the next level
• Solidly increased your professional network - so that it remains a strong resource for you and your business into the future.
• Had a very good time

Of course, you might emerge from the workshop deciding that self-employment and your own business is not for you. This is fine – you will have explored the idea of running your own business, and will be able to move on, knowing that you didn’t just dismiss it out of hand.

Be prepared to:

• Be stretched and challenged – in a very safe, supportive and caring environment
• Give as well as receive – the ethos of Mumpreneurs 101 is that together, we are simply better. There will be other mums on this workshop, and if you don’t have the answer, you can bet that one of them will.
• Be non-judgemental, non-critical and confidential – treat the other mums at the workshop in the way you want to be treated
• Commit to doing something – just one small action – following the workshop to explore your business further

The mumpreneurs™ workshops are facilitated by Amanda Alexander from Coaching Mums.
