Britain’s new mums have emerged as an entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with, as a new report reveals that more than one-in-three (34%) of these ‘mumtrepreneurs’ are looking at starting their own business from home, enabling them to combine child care with developing a steady income stream.

The survey, commissioned by AXA Protection among 1,354 new and expectant mums, found that on average, those polled are generating £467.91 in earnings per month from home-based business ventures, equivalent to £5,614 a year

 
Robyn’s coaching has showed me that you can do whatever you put your mind to – you just need to find your own direction, with goals to aim for and the confidence to succeed….”

Theresa, Crafty T Creations, Kingston

 

"Coaching with Robyn has given me the opportunity and confidence to see, in a very safe and supported way, the steps I can actually take (small or big), to eventually start up my own home-based business..At last I can see my dream happening! I know my direction, I know how much I can achieve (realistically) each week in getting my business going yet still being a good mum, and I now have the confidence to start talking about it. In fact, I have already secured my first client - 3 weeks before my official "launch". Thank you Robyn for helping me to believe and trust in myself, my ability and my mumpreneur dream..."

Catherine, Virtual Assistant, Walton-on-Thames

Coaching For Home

PERSONALISED COACHING FOR MUMPRENEURS STARTING UP A HOME-BASED BUSINESS

It starts out innocently enough. You love being a mum, but every now and then, a spark of desire to “do your own thing” keeps popping into your mind.  The idea of starting a home-based business seems ideal – you could do with more income for the family and household, and the idea of doing more “grown up” things appeals too!  The answer seems obvious. You start a business based from home. It's the best of both worlds – a decent income and decent time spent with the family. Besides, you love the idea of being a mumpreneur!

But every desire to start your own home-based business is soon squashed flat by:

  • Lack of confidence – you’ve seen and read about other mums who’ve done it, but what if you can’t?
  • Information Overload – with so many “business from home” options out there, how will you choose or know what’s best suited to you?
  • Fear of failure - Even if you have you have a business idea – what if it doesn’t work out?  How will you explain your failure?
  • Don’t know where to start – you know that starting up will be hard work, but what if you don’ even know what the first few steps are?
  • Fear of committing to something you can’t manage time wise – what if it doesn’t work out for you?  What if you lose out on your family focus?
  • Fear of scams – what if you fall for one of these (and believe me, there are plenty of “believable” scams out there….

After a few months the spark has started to die just a little and your dream seems further and further away.  The thought of giving it all up and just forgetting about it is tempting, and yet your heart tells you that this really could be for you.  You're not ready to admit defeat - just yet.  Besides, if others can do it, why shouldn’t you?

Does any of this sound like you?
You are not alone!  Don’t imagine for a second that the successful mumpreneurs you see featured in magazines, or personally know, haven’t felt exactly what you’re feeling now….. It really is possible to start up and build a home-based business as a mum.  At the moment you just can't see the HOW…..

Mums The Business personalised coaching can help you to discover and start up your own home-based business dream.  Together, in a supportive  coaching partnership, we can make things happen….. Soon you will:

  • Discover what home-based business options are available and which are best suited to you
  • Become really clear on what path you need to take, how you are going to get there, and how to deal with any obstacles or forks in the road on your journey.
  • Have your own unique Business Plan, which is flexible enough to accommodate you being a mum, but also a motivating force to keep you going.
  • Feel unconditionally supportedin reaching your goals and dreams and know that your coach is truly there for you.  Be listened to, completely and confidentially.  Be believed in, unconditionally.
  • Find your balance between your multiple roles in life so you can live a successful life in every sense of the word.
  • Develop your own self confidence and believe that you do know many of the answers to your own challenges and questions.
  • Have access to essential tools, resources and contacts that will benefit you and your new business

How do we achieve this?

Generally coaching takes place over the telephone – ideal for busy mums, as you can schedule your appointments to suit your particular life circumstances (and childrens’ routine!
Regardless of which programme you select, there is always email support & encouragement between sessions (to help keep you focused or answer any burning questions); and for Package A, I also offer 10 minute “breakthrough” calls to provide support during challenging times (hitting the proverbial brick wall) or to celebrate a triumph (and help you keep the momentum going)!

How quickly?

This really depends on you, what your current circumstances are and what you are aiming to achieve.  Most people hire a coach for three to six months. An initial commitment of 3 months is ideal for us to work together to design a clear vision for your business start up, but also a realistic timescale for you to accomplish most if not all of the start up actions.  However, everyone is different, and the duration of coaching and speed at which we work is entirely up to you.

How much is my investment?

This really is an investment in starting up your home-based business, not a cost!  Coaching and business planning can significantly increase your chances of business success.  Business Coaching is a valid tax-deductable expense (I can give you details about this).

Here are your investment options:

Package A - £160 per month.  Includes:

3 x 60 minute coaching sessions per month

Unlimited email support

Unlimited “breakthrough” calls

All support materials including Business Plan, start up cheat sheets & “Mums The Business” Resource List.

Package B - £100 per month.  Includes:

Unlimited email support

All support materials including Business Plan, start up cheat sheets & “Mums The Business” Resource List.

(Note: tailored coaching packages can be arranged, on request)

When you decide that personalised coaching might be for you, please get in touch with me to schedule a time for us to have an informal chat about which is the best solution for you and your circumstances!  This is entirely free - I will call you at an agreed time, for a 30 minute chat where we can get to know each other and talk about what it is you are wanting to achieve.  This is not a sales pitch and there is absolutely no obligation if you decide coaching is not for you right now.

Mums The Business is here to provide the most productive coaching relationship possible, and I am flexible in the structure that your coaching can take - it is up to you. Our focus in all of these programs is to increase your self confidence, skills and opportunities to start up your own business from home.

Please get in touch soon – I would love to chat with you…..
