Mumpreneur Business Mentoring

For every mum who wants a better life…

The Mumpreneur Guide will ensure YOU succeed.

Hi, my name is Antonia Chitty, and I’m the Mumpreneur Guide.

In 2002 I was struggling to balance a part time job, look after the home and spend enough time with my daughter. Now, I have three children, run my own flexible and family friendly businesses and am back in control. I’ll tell you more about how I changed my life further down the page. First, though, let’s think about you. Can you say yes to any of these questions?

• I am always putting other people’s needs first.
• I work hard, yet seem to get nowhere.
• I'm constantly exhausted.
• I'm often struggling for money.
• I'd love to do something I’m passionate about.
• I'm not afraid to work hard.
• I want my children to see me succeed.
• I’d love to more in control of my life.
• I am open to new ideas.
• I’m ready to make a change for the better.

If you answered yes to three or more of the above, read on...

Find a way to achieve your idea work-life balance

• Are you stuck at home, wondering how to make a bit of extra money, but can’t find a job that fits with the time you have free?
• Or maybe you are stuck in a busy job that pays the bills, but gives you little time with the kids?
• Perhaps you have looked at all the ‘get rich quick’ schemes, and are worried about being ripped off if you sign up for a business opportunity that demands upfront payment?
• Are you waiting for ‘that light bulb moment’ when you find the perfect business idea?
• Do you want a lifestyle that you control?
• Do you want enough money to pay the bills AND time with the family, so you never miss another school event?

If you are trapped in the no-money - no-time with the kids cycle, there is a way out.

Turn your business idea into reality

Running Your Own Business could be the way to Take Control of Your Life Again...Read on to find out how YOU can do it.

Is this you…?

• Do you ever lie awake at night, worrying about how to make ends meet?
• Are you worried about leaving your child in day care?
• Or is the cost of day care out of the question?
• Do you want to work, but hate to miss your child growing up?
• Do you see other mums starting their own business, and envy the control they have over their lives?
• Are you wary of signing up for so-called ‘business opportunities’ that demand up front payment without being clear about how you will earn?
• Do you want the financial success that you can see others achieving?

I’ve been running my own businesses since 2003. I have worked with hundreds of women who run their own successful businesses. If you are thinking about running your own business, you’ll find I have lots to offer you.

Don’t worry. This is not another get rich quick scheme; there are no envelopes to stuff or products to sell. I offer you help and support to develop any business that you choose.

If you buy The Mumpreneur Guide Start Your Own Business Book you get a book that is tailored for busy mums who want to make life better for their family, and have control over their income.

And, I’m not suggesting that you should sign up to a particular direct selling opportunity or franchise: The Mumpreneur Guide Start Your Own Business Book will help you work out what sort of business will suit you AND give you the skills you need to get going.

Plus, once you have the book you can also opt to get one-to-one help from me. I’ll share my experience and contacts with you, so you know where to go for more advice and specialist expertise. And I can help you avoid failure. Running your own business isn’t an easy option: remember what I said about hard work? When I started my first business I worked every evening, and was on the computer each time my daughter napped. But this settles down. You will be able to work out the hours that suit you. And with the help of The Mumpreneur Guide Start Your Own Business Book, you’ll have a head start over every other want-to-be entrepreneur.

Who is Antonia Chitty?

So, why should you trust what I’m offering? Well, I’ve been there, just like you. I was stuck in a job that just wasn’t working for me. I felt like I was trying to do a full weeks work in part time hours, and spending all my money on childcare. Other people were looking after my daughter, and I was missing out on her growing up.

I was lucky enough to get a free session with a great life coach, and that hour long conversation was enough to set me on a different path, one where I felt back in control. That was in 2003. Since then, I’ve done freelance feature writing, and set up my own PR agency. In the last few years, I’ve written ten books including A Guide to Promoting Your Business and Family Friendly Working. I run the popular Family Friendly Working blog and I’ve won the ‘Inspirational Business Mum of the Year Award. I take home money from my own business every month, enough money to pay the bills and more. I get to choose when I work, and more often than not work from home.

And I love what I do. Of course that comes with responsibilities. I’m my own boss, and no-one else is going to do my work for me. Sometimes it is a juggle to fit it all in: don’t sign up to become a Mumpreneur if you are afraid to work hard. When starting a business you need to put as much of your spare time as possible into getting it going. And sometimes it can seem like a long while before you see a return for all that effort. But that’s where I can help you. You see, not only have I done it myself, I’ve worked with hundreds of women in business. And I now can help you.

So, does this appeal to you? Read on to find out about my practical solution to help you get the life you want.
