Monday Mumpreneur with Pamela Evbota

Every Monday we feature a mumpreneur who’s ready and willing to open up their lives and their business to us.

They share with us their motivation, their challenges and their proudest moments in business and they also tell us how they take time to nurture themselves.

If you’re looking for inspiration, then our featured business mums show you what’s possible.

Our message is “If we can do it ~ then so can you!”

I've got a lovely and inspiring mumpreneur for you this week who set up her business to help others. I find over and over again that so many business mums are in business to help other women set up and grow their businesses.  I'm finding more and more that this is the female way of doing business ~ and I love it!

What motivated you to become a mumpreneur? – I become bored with my job after my second son. Although I wasn't sure why I felt that way initially.

So I started a six months ‘Helpingpreneur’ course with Suzanne Evans and read up all I could about starting a business and working with entrepreneurs.
