Author quotes
I live and breathe the Mumboss way of life and want to offer you the confidence to do so too. I want to prepare you for the highs, the lows, the guilt, and the joy, informing and inspiring you, so like me, you too can survive and thrive at work and at home. I thought kids would hinder my career before I became a Mumboss. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The entrepreneurial opportunities presented by the digital revolution and the kinds of communities that exist on the Internet now are just as liberating for women as Tupperware parties were in the 1950s and 60s, offering them a freedom and flexibility that traditional 9-5 work can’t.
This book will help you follow your heart and strategise your new business. It will also support you as you prepare to return to work after maternity leave or time away.
