I have had the wonderful privilege of coaching some amazing mums in their quest to start up their own business…. Like me, each have faced their own challenging choices, peaks and troughs in self confidence & belief, sometimes even lack of support from their closest & dearest…. 

But each have proved that business start up as a mum IS possible…. And you can too. 

Annie’s Story
“Even before I became a mum, I adored making handmade chocolates for family and friends, and they were always well received!  After the birth of my baby girl, I spent hours, and then months churning the idea in my head, of turning my chocolate making into a small, home-based business.  But I had no idea of where to even start!  The fear of failure held me back….
By chance, I was introduced to Robyn – a career and small business coach helping mums to launch and run their own home-based business, with minimal risk, maximum impact, major enjoyment.   By signing up to Robyn’s 6 week Business Start Up telecourse and some individual coaching, “Angel’s chocolates” is now growing from strength to strength…..And I am having loads of fun, as a mumtrepreneur!”
Annie Thompson, Angel’s Chocolates, Hampton

Chrissy’s story
“After each session I felt energised and clear about what I was going to do next.  Robyn, you’re an amazingly perceptive listener, feeding back to me thoughts I was unaware I’d even expressed out loud. Your gentle, encouraging voice gave me confidence in myself and I trusted and respected you immediately.
During this time a personal event threatened to rock my plans, yet your calm, sensitive approach kept me focussed and positive.  I know it would have been difficult to achieve my goals on schedule without your supportive encouragement.  Thanks to you I was able to prioritise and make decisions without feeling overwhelmed. 
I’m now ready to start my business and will always be pleased I had the opportunity to gain so much from your coaching.  Thanks Robyn, you’re a star!”
Chrissie Burley, Life Coach & Trainer

Mary’s story
“Robyn, at the start of our first coaching session, I was feeling “stuck” and overwhelmed with my new business, as I had no clear plan of action to move forward.  And my confidence and self belief were so low that I was doing nothing constructive.   Robyn, with your coaching I came up with a clear, realistic plan and together with your encouragement I was able to move forward, by committing to our agreed actions.  As a result, my confidence and elf belief are firmly back in place, and my business and finances are improving steadily….Thank you!”
Mary Galvin, Value Property Solutions, Avon

Shirley’s story
“Robyn has a calming and insightful manner in which she helped clarify my business goals.  Robyn was also reassuring when I sometimes put myself under pressure, which helped me to relax and think with a more clear and open mind.  I had several “ah ha” moments with Robyn’s coaching, which often led me up a path I had not previously contemplated, opening up a myriad of new business options to me”.

Theresa’s story
“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….I wasn’t sure that I would be able to cope with running a part-time business due to lack of knowledge, and I wasn’t sure if my idea or my talents would “cut it” in the real world…..The idea of having coaching initially was to put the wheels in motion to begin running a card-making business in 2007…..But after setting goals and becoming clearer on my business idea, I began successfully selling cards after my third coaching session in mid 2006!  I am now consistently receiving orders….And my confidence has increased so much!”
