The rise of the mumtrepreneur

How to raise a small business and small children - without losing your mind

There's a growing number of parents choosing to juggle a new business with a young family. The media has dubbed them 'mumtrepreneurs'. This blog is for all of us - mums and dads - who at some point, usually around 3am when changing another nappy or feeding the baby for the umpteenth time, experience that lightbulb moment.

It could be the result of sleep-deprived insanity. But it's an idea for a business. And so it grows, until you find yourself taking sales calls while you're on the school run.

Why do we do it? Most of us believe it's a way to achieve the perfect work-life balance. But that see-saw will tip both ways, every day, while you find that equilibrium.

So whether you're still trying to think of your new business idea, or you've already made space in the playroom for a home office corner, you'll find some tips and ideas in this blog.

Which I promise I'll update at least weekly. In between my work deadlines and the next basket of laundry, of course.
