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
