My story is one of being unemployed, homeless and a pregnant singleton who has morphed into the entrepreneurial mother®; by building & SELLing her 7-figure Mother of a Business, all in guilt-free school hours.
If you're a mother, an aspiring primary breadwinner! and building your Mother of a Business as an asset to sell ... then the entrepreneurial mother® blog is for you. Why? specialising in "Connecting the Dots" is what building a Mother of a Business is all about.
What I know for sure is that Business gives you Lifestyle, to be the Mother you long to be...
So no surprise (I say modestly) that I now get many asking me how I did it and how I still do it. That's why this blog was born. It's my way of being able to reach as many of you as possible and making the most of the time I have available.
Now is the time to embrace being deliberately entrepreneurial about how and why we do what we do.
I look forward to e-meeting you...
Denise Hall
the entrepreneurial mother®
