We’re looking for submissions from Mums who created and succeeded in their own business, juggling children, home, lifestyle and still making their vision come true. Can you see yourself in the following:

· You reach that young-mid life crisis where you have babies and to your surprise, all your priorities completely change.

· After swearing you’d be back at your career straight after your maternity leave ended, you found you now had a new CEO (be it in nappies) which your life now revolved around.

· You went in search of that perfect income opportunity which allowed you to still be the soccer mum you yearned to be, yet still contributing to your family income. Thus striving for future financial stability whilst stretching your brain past the constant Wiggles and Dora dvd’s.

· You looked at all the crazy ideas out there, the make a million dollars doing nothing in a week websites, wished you thought of selling that air guitar on Ebay that made $$$, seriously thought of joining a party plan, or even seeing if your craft/skill would sell at the local market.

· Did you find an idea that worked for you, started up your business? Do you now control your own work/family/life balance


We Want to Know the Good, Bad, Funny, Challenging & the Ugly.

Our goal is to compile successful submissions to help inspire other Mum’s, learn from others mistakes and ideas, share a laugh and realise that you’re not alone and it can be done. Let us know how you can have your cake and eat it too!

Is any remunerations involved? At this stage, no. Our aim is to self publish, so we envisage any monies raised would be to reimburse for these costs, plus marketing etc. However, should we find ourselves on the Oprah bestseller list, maybe this would change!!! Books would also be donated to certain groups, i.e. playgroup associations, childbirth education associations, community health centres etc. I would also ideally like to donate some proceeds to a children's charity of some sort.

What we can offer: Contributors will get some marketing out of it, your business details can be there. Also some may wish to have exclusive offers for readers to bring them into your network. For example, 10% off first time service.

Will we be referenced in the book? We would love to reference real Aussie women, but also respect those who wish to remain anonymous. It will be your choice.



Will we have final say over the content used about us? Yes, if your submission is used in anyway you will be contacted and see exactly what and how we are using it.

Will we be provided with final copies? Invited to the launch? Yes, all contributors will receive a copy of the work, and informed of any launch or event that takes place.

Please forward this on to anyone you think is a great Entrepreneurial Mum also.

Please provide contact details
You will be contacted if you’re story is to be featured.
