LCF Fun Languages Director, Nickie Race Jones,  featured in new book

Our own LCF Fun Languages Director, Nickie Race Jones, has been featured in a collection of advice from some of Australia’s best and brightest Mums in Business.

Starting a family and establishing a new business are two of the most challenging things you can do, yet mumpreneurs manage both! In this book readers will meet a range of talented mumpreneurs and hear how combining work and family has helped them create a successful home-based business and how they can do it too!

The book, published by connect2mums, celebrates and recognizes Mums in business achieving outstanding success in areas such as business, product development, services and innovation in businesses from Australia and New Zealand.

There are many benefits to balancing business and motherhood as Nickie Race Jones explains, ”I wanted to combine a flexible and rewarding business with my family life and what I am passionate about.  The only way to do this was to create my own international business”.

The book has been specifically written for ‘mumpreneurs’. Mumpreneurs are entrepreneurs with a difference; they are women who aspire to have the best of both family time and their professional ambitions in a way that works for them. These innovative new businesses are creating new employment opportunities, boosting the economy, and allowing women to find new skills, express their creativity and put their professional prowess into action.

It can be challenging to be a successful business woman whilst raising a family and Nickie Race Jones gives this advice for others thinking about starting their own enterprise. ” Be clear on what your goals and vision are before you start your business and most importantly, what your exit strategy is.  Passion is vital but it is easy to lose sight of WHY you started in the first place.  This is the only thing that will keep you going when you are at the bottom of the roller coaster”.

 ‘Amazing Mumpreneurs’ will be launched at Mercure Sydney on Friday 26 August 2011.
