After juggling the madness of working full-time – one child in school, the other in day care – breastfeeding in a non-supportive work environment and then suffering major family trauma, Fiona Lewis from Sydney was at her wits end as to how regain balance in life. After a chance meeting with a childhood friend and now world-class Internet Marketer James Schramko, Fiona took a giant leap of faith in leaving proven job security in teaching to start a career in Internet Marketing.
Over the past three years, Fiona has created a successful online business and most recently established Mumpreneurs Online as a way of sharing her knowledge with other mums. Coinciding with National Mothering Week, Fiona is launching her ‘Mumpreneurs Marketing Makeover’ to raise awareness about the opportunities the Internet provides mothers who are looking for work from home ideas. This competition will provide the winner with the opportunity to establish her own online business.
Fiona is one of a growing group of women who are increasingly turning to entrepreneurship and are setting up businesses from home. In fact, these ‘mumpreneur’ businesses are part of the fastest growing sector of the Australian economy with a 20% increase in the past five years.
This is largely being driven by the fact that the cost of living is rising about 60% faster than the headline CPI figure (JP Morgan). Many mothers want to stay at home and be with their children, but also need the additional income to ease financial stress.
“The web abounds with online business opportunities for mums, and you don’t have to be technically savvy to find one that is right for you,” explains Fiona. “But uncovering sound business models and avoiding the get-rich-quick schemes is often challenging.”
“Launching this competition through Mumpreneurs Online during National Mothering Week is my way of presenting possible solutions to help bridge the gap between work and family commitments.
The prize is valued at over $16,000 and includes a one-on-one consultation with Australia’s ‘Millionaire Maker’ Mal Emery.
“I understand that turning dreams into a reality can be a challenge,” said Fiona, “which is why I would like to offer this massive opportunity to one aspiring mumpreneur.”
