Many women dream of working for themselves. Some have a clear goal and a definite plan to get there. Others drift from one project to another trying to find the one special project to sink their precious time into. For most of us have family, day jobs, and other demands on our time.
It can seem lonely and a bit daunting when you dream of starting your own business especially if you have no friends or family who have business experience. When I first started I attended some classes at Business Gateway and found them useful certainly but still not quite what I needed. There were a few Womens Networking evenings organised by Business Gateway which I attended in the early days but they seem to have faded away over the years – maybe they’re still happening but I’m not aware of them!!
So I read with interest of the Mumpreneur’s Network in Dumfries and Galloway. It’s grown from 10 members to over 250 in the last year according to Dumfries and Galloway Standard. So many women in business in South West Scotland! – fantastic! I can’t wait to find out more!
I love listening to other people’s enthusiasms and passions. To their business ideas and finding out how they’ve developed and grown, what challenges they’ve faced along the way. What works for them, how they market their ideas.. in fact anything to do with running your own business interests me. I’m fascinated by the great ideas out there and how people have taken that initial idea and brought it into being.
I realise I should have been looking for just this type of network of like-minded people to inspire me and keep me focussed. Many’s the time I’ve felt I’ve been floundering and would have loved someone with similar interests to talk to and throw ideas back and forward with. So if like me you feel you could benefit from this type of network contact Lisa Dunn by email at info@HexagonVA.co.uk for more details.
