Ever wondered what Britain’s mumpreneurs have in common?

First Women Exclusives · March 8, 2016

Eleanor Roosevelt said “Women are like teabags, you never know how strong they are until you put them in hot water”

 

In 2015 mumpreneurs (mums with children under 18 running businesses) contributed an impressive £7.2bn to the UK economy. As such, Kate Tojeiro, executive coach at X fusion, took a look at the qualities they share.

Ambition, business acumen and the need for flexibility alongside accomplishing one of the most demanding of roles – being a mum – is a potent combination. Mumpreneurs take multi-tasking to its pinnacle and conventional wisdom around when things are done is blown away, and that ability to juggle multiple priorities pays dividends.

With referenece to Karren Brady, Jo Malone, Julie Deane, Victoria Beckham and Chrissie Rucker MBE, Tojeiro gives credit to some of the business world’s best mumpreneurs.
