Mumpreneurs – It’s Your Time to Shine
Announcement posted by Strawberry Communications 02 Jun 2010
Imagine yourself as a magazine cover star, respected speaker and representative of a national organisation? This and many more accolades are what await the winners of Connect2Mum’s AusMumpreneur Awards.
The first Connect2Mums AusMumpreneur Catherine Oehlman is still basking in the glory of winning this award last year and encourages all Australian businesses to nominate for the awards – and not just mums in business.
Since being crowned (with a tiara) the 2009 AusMumpreneur, Cath has enjoyed stronger readership at http://squigglemum.com and increased attention from the media, making her a sought-after blogger and interviewee.
“Everything changed for me the night I won the Connect2Mums top award,” Cath explained.
“I stopped seeing myself as a teacher-turned-mum with a blog, and started seeing myself as a mumpreneur with an emerging business.
“It not only changed the way others saw me but also the way I saw myself,” she said, encouraging others to put themselves forward.
“Nominating yourself is about saying, ‘This is who I am, this is what I'm doing and this is why others should know about my business.’ I believe there are times to be humble, and there are times to stand up proudly. These awards are an opportunity to shine.”
So is 2010 your year to shine in business? The Connect2Mums AusMumpreneur Awards recognise the best and brightest in business.
