The Successful Mumpreneur

FINALIST OF THE 2019 BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS. Debbie started her business in 1998 when the internet was in its infancy and few women were launching their own businesses. Twenty years on her business is thriving. In 2011 she launched Mums UnLtd to support other Mumpreneurs. What is shared in this book comes from her own experience together with those successful business builders who have generously shared inspiration and insights. Nothing beats the knowledge of someone who’s experienced the highs, lows, pleasures and pitfalls of running their own business. Debbie’s been there, done it and learned lessons. Within this book you’ll find answers to FAQs, specific case studies and common mistakes to avoid. Also included: • processes; • sourcing resources; • and maintaining your sanity at the same time as making money! The advice is constructive and effective, the solutions straightforward and the input invaluable, whatever stage you’re at with your business.

As a mother of three boys and owner of a business, I wish this book existed when I was starting out. It is an honest account of why so many women choose self-employment over a corporate career, what to expect when starting and growing a business, and how to do it without sacrificing time with those we love. The book is a nonsense-free zone full of practical advice. A must-read for women who love the idea of running their own business, or simply want to become better at it.


I have read the whole book and I love it. I think it is just the right mix of advice, how to’s and personal stories. With this sort of book, the thing that I struggle with is all the ‘blah blah blah’ which makes the book really long but doesn’t add any value. This book doesn’t have any of this – it’s straight to the point and doesn’t waffle. It’s easy to read and enjoyable (because of the personal stories) as well as informative.
