Monday, March 8th, 2010
For most new mums, the question of if and when they go back to work is a big one. Many of us don’t have a choice, and it can heart-wrenching to leave our newfound bundles of joy in someone else’s care while we go to a place we would rather not be, working in a job we’d rather not be doing. Caroline Ashworth explains how she overcame this dilemma by setting up her own business so she could take new baby Alfie to work with her. (more…)

Do you need to retrain for a new family-friendly career?
Monday, November 16th, 2009
If you need to retrain there are lots of initiatives to help you. Ask your local Sure Stat Children’s Centre for info on courses with crèches – call into your local college too. Examples of what you can retrain as are: becoming a complementary therapist could allow you to offer appointments that fit in with your family commitments, or take a creative course and start selling what you make at craft fairs at the weekend.

Business Partners Wanted
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Here’s an ad for business partners from Charlie in London who wants to set up a baby food business. Get in touch with her if you think you’re the person she’s looking for.
EVER FANCIED SETTING UP YOUR OWN BUSINESS?? I HAVE ….
I have a great idea for a business start-up but am looking for one or two partners to come on board to offer their professional expertise in catering and marketing. The area of work is fresh baby foods. It is an idea that involves next to nothing in start up costs but has great potential for growth through development and therefore I am looking for someone who has spare time on their hands (perhaps still on maternity and looking for an alternative to returning to work or with kids starting school??) and the ambition and enthusiasm needed to start a business.
I am the mother of a toddler myself and am committed to setting up a business that is successful but also one with strong principles of fairness and sustainability.
If this appeals to you then why not drop me a line telling me a little bit about yourself and perhaps we could meet for a coffee and a chat?
Look forward to hearing from you … Charlie. charlieaknell@hotmail.com

Do You Want to Turn Your Beading Hobby into a Business?
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Women who enjoy spending their leisure time crafting would prefer to stay home and work from the kitchen table turning their hobby into a home business, according to research carried by bead supply company epbeads.co.uk in preparation of the for the launch of a new internet craft magazine, ibeadmag.com Response to a recent survey carried out by epbeads.co.uk suggests most women who enjoy beading and making jewellery, one of the fastest growing hobbies in the UK, would love to work at something they love and are passionate about; ideally running a business from the kitchen table . The appeal of the traditional style cottage industry, which would fit in around childcare and family commitments appears to be the ideal scenario.
Unfortunately many women feel that they lack the skills or confidence to take this dream any further. In response to the findings, ibeadmag.com is offering a mixture of free and premium content within the magazine style website, which will be specifically targeted at helping women develop their jewellery making skills using beads and other mixed media, as well offering support in areas like business development and marketing. For the September launch, ibeadmag.com is offering a free Jewellery Making DVD and a free month’s trial membership to ibeadmag. Anyone interested in learning to make jewellery or developing their existing skills with the aim of turning them into a home business should go to www.ibeadmag.com/getstarted for more details.
