The journey of being a business owner AND a mum is a very special and unique experience.

Adding the many challenges of being a mother to the constant day to day challenges of owning a business and you’ve got the perfect mix of overwhelm and frustration. And more often than not, it can be a very lonely journey.

I know I certainly discovered this to be true when I started my first business during maternity leave with two babies. But thankfully, 12 years ago I became involved with the AusMumpreneur community which opened up a vast network of other mum business owners, all experiencing the exact same issues.

Committed to providing a network of mum business owners, the Ausmumpreneur Conference and Awards were delivered to acknowledge the challenges we face and to allow for connection for sharing knowledge, collaborations, support and lifelong friendships.

Today I get to interview my friend Peace Mitchell, one of the founders of AusMumpreneur and we talk about:

• The importance of a network and community for mums running a business
• The unique challenges that mums do face when running a business and often not being taken seriously enough
• The value of celebrating achievements within our community and why women tend to avoid putting their hands up for recognition
• What the benefits are for business owners in entering for awards and how to maximise the experience.
• How to make the most of attending a conference 
• Why like minded conferences can transform your mindset from a ‘at home mum business’ to a multi-million dollar business owner

Listen today as Peace and I discuss the importance of having a community to support your business journey.
