International Womens Day… You Ought to be Congratulated!
I could not let this day go by without acknowledging International Women’s Day.
“the entrepreneurial mother.com” is refined, reenergised and ready to visit…
hello there
It is with great pleasure that I re-introduce my newly re-formulated and reworked web site. I’m really pleased with it, I hope you are too!
www.theentrepreneurialmother.com
Please visit and make yourself acquainted. I’d love your feedback too.
Enjoy! Denise
Join my “Mothers Group” – Viv did and look what’s happened…
As Viv has discovered, there’s a lot more to being a successful Mother and building a Mother of a Business than just dreaming about it every day. It’s about behaving in a manner which builds a genuine business. It’s about having the confidence to do whatever you dream of achieving. And most of all it’s about Mothering as you want PLUS earn what you need to earn (and a whole lot more!).
Viv McDonald is going places with
“The Web of Wheels”
So much so, she featured on p21 of the recent Green Guide in The Age newspaper.
Viv came to join my Mothers Group after previous attempts at really firing up The Web on Wheels. It would appear that this time she has done just that! Congratulations.
the entrepreneurial mother® Mothers Group has been developed in response to an overwhelming number of requests asking me to share my knowledge. However the majority wanted more than just help. They wanted to transform their Mother of a Business, they wanted to start achieving. And they wanted real backing to do it. Not simple once off help, not just electronic help but live and timely ongoing structured interactive support.

CLEARED HOT! for Breakthrough Mentality…
You HAVE permission to Engage! Notice, the emphasis is on the word ‘have.’ That’s because you already possess your own permission to engage. I’m not giving it to you. In fact, I can’t. You’ve always had it; you just have to release it. It’s up to YOU to make the decision to engage.
Once you have given yourself permission, you are Cleared Hot to create realities from possibilities beyond your expectations.
What does Cleared Hot mean? Well, in military terms, it means you have permission to fire your weapons on your target. During training that means you’re shooting at wooden tanks or old worn out tires. In real combat, you’re firing on the enemy. An enemy that in my case was trying to shoot my attack helicopter out of the sky.
In civilian life, Cleared Hot is the process of acting on a Breakthrough Mentality (BTM).

Carole Middleton: The Entrepreneurial Mum Who Raised A Princess
With thanks to www.workingmother.com…
Behind many major events, there is often a working mother making things happen. In the case of the upcoming royal wedding that woman is Carole Middleton, Kate Middleton’s entrepreneurial mum.
The elder Middleton was a stay at home mom when she launched Party Pieces in 1987 in the UK. Kate was 5 at the time and Carole landed on the idea for the business when she was unable to find affordable party bag presents for her children’s parties. The business grew to the point where her husband Michael quit his job as a flight dispatcher to help run it.
Now of course Carole is in the news for her royal connections, but that doesn’t mean her achievements as a working mother are any less admirable. The business now boasts 30 employees and visits to the company website surged 163% when William and Kate announced their engagement.
Read more about Carole Middleton in a recent Newsweek article.
Huggies Australia MumInspired Grant Program; Registered yet?
Whilst I have a personal problem with the lameness of the term “mumpreneur”, it is nonetheless one that is being used to describe various forms of entrepreneurial mothers. However in this case, if a win comes from it, then that has to be a good thing, right?…
Seventy per cent of Australian women have thought more about pursuing a business idea since becoming a mother, according to Australian mothers surveyed in the Huggies MumInspired Report.
Currently women make up 33% of small business owners and the number is steadily climbing, which is fuelled by the growth of women starting their own business after having children, otherwise known as ‘mumpreneurs’.
The report highlights several barriers preventing mums from turning their ideas into a reality. The most significant barriers are; limited access to finance (62%), increased living expenses (54%) and a fear of failure (40%).
In response to the report, Huggies Australia announced the launch of the MumInspired Grant Program, which will award a total of $110,000 (five mums each to receive $20,000) to help mothers act upon their child-related business idea. In addition there will also be a People’s Choice Award, which will enable the public to vote for their favourite MumInspired grant recipient to receive an additional $10,000.

A grant opportunity for entrepreneurial mothers…
Pleased to be able to tell you about the launch of the Huggies® MumInspired® Grant Program . Huggies want to take your innovative parenting ideas and turn them into a business reality. Huggies will be awarding 5 grants of $20,000 to the mums with the best ideas that nurture the relationship between mum and child by making their lives easier. Ideas need to be suitable for any stage from pregnancy up to 4 years old. That’s $100,000 in funding available!
Your idea could be just that, an idea! Or it may be that you have already set-up the business on a small scale and need some advice and funding to take it to the next level. Either way, Huggies can’t wait to hear your ideas. You will need to complete a MumInspired submission form and submit your idea between 15th March and 1st May 2011. Be sure to check out the MumInspired pages on our website too as they contain lots of information and resources on setting up and starting your own business. We also feature the stories of the Mums who have been awarded grants in the US so if you’re unsure as to whether to submit an idea, reading their life changing stories may be just the inspiration you need to do it!
Also, pop a reminder in your diaries now as Huggies will have a Celebrity Mum available on Thursday 17 March from 1-2pm on our Huggies Facebook page for a live chat! She will be ready and eager to answer all your questions about the MumInspired® Grant Program as well as anything else you may want to ask her.
Happy International Women’s Day…
and here’s to the launch of “The Feminine Entrepreneur” (by delightful fellow entrepreneurial mother, Cath Resnick)…
If there were more “Cath’s” around, the world would be a better place…
and to illustrate what I mean, she shares the first of her insights in this article.
Enjoy!
