Hey Lyn, thank you…….it has been an amazing journey and one which I could have not started with our my fellow Mumpreneurs stepping out to help me, that is a fact! The support I have received has been overwhelming, from members of different groups, as you mentioned MumpreneurUK and also the brilliant MumsClub too. I too read the threads and was quite insulted by it BUT looked what this ‘Mumpreneur’ has achieved with the help of other Mumpreneurs too…..as you say, how can that be a bad thing? And Sir Richard Branson certainly didn’t describe me as an unprofessional woman who works with children hanging off her making toys!lol (as described in the forum), in fact…quite the opposite To me, people say that there is less inequality in business right now but I feel this couldn’t be further from the truth, the simple fact a bunch of (mostly men) want to challenge the term ‘Mumpreneur’ and try and break down a support network which women have built for themselves to support each other in business just shows that there is still yet a long way to go. I was asked by the forum admin to comment but decided against it as I feel like I don’t need to justify myself, why should I have to take time to explain what i am about, other people don’t do that……

I am trying to embrace all that I am and being a Mumpreneur is defiantly a part of this x
