I’ll tell you what, my 4 year old son Tate NEVER fails to amaze me!
He came home from school the other day, popped his school bag on the sofa, looked at me thoughtfully and said, “Mummy, what do you do?”
I said, “What do I do? What do you mean sweetie? I look after you and your sister and do the hoovering and clean the house… and … !” and he rolled his eyes and said…
…”No mummy, that’s not what I mean! I mean, what do you do to get money? What is your work?”
I love it when Tate asks me these kinds of questions! I just love the way kids think! You see, in ‘show and tell’ that morning they’d got onto the subject of what their mums and dads did for a living but Tate didn’t really know what to say! He said “My Mummy and Daddy just stay at home.”
I had a bit of a giggle when he said that but the thing is… thats EXACTLY what ‘I do’! (and my hubby has stayed at home to look after our daughter since I started my business) I stay at home all day spending time with my family!
of course, I still work as hard as the next mummy…
… but it’s FUN! I created my business because I never wanted to go out to work while my children were little and that’s what got me into social marketing in a big way!
I can now work from home, earning pretty good money… and it was all actually much easier (once I’d learnt all the stuff I needed to learn and made some mistakes along the way) than I thought it would be too!
Let me let you in on a little secret! Mums are NATURALLY good at this stuff… we have certain skills that work really well in the business world… and when you know the things you should be doing to work smart on top of that, well… it can be an unstoppable formula for success!
…in the last 18 months I’ve learned, from scratch, all sorts of ways to market my clients online AND offline and as a result my lil ‘mumpreneur’ / wahm home based business is going from strength to strength thank you very much!
For goodness sake, I was on benefits when I started and I had NO EXPERIENCE of marketing, creating my own products, running a business or ANY of the things I do now for that matter! That’s why I love working with other mums so much because I KNOW that YOU can do it too – no matter WHERE you are starting from!
Starting my business was kind of like becoming a new mum in many ways – I didn’t really know what I was doing but I committed to making it work anyway! I wanted to be able to stay home with the kids and contribute to the family pot at the same time… and now I do… and here’s the thing ladies, if I can do this, so can you!
I would love to hear from you about your dreams and ambitions… what you would really love to earn and what you’d love to do to earn it!
Please leave me a comment below… you never know… I might just have a super secret plan in place to help you to make it all happen! 
Teehee!
