Well it’s a mum who wants to be able to fulfill her potential as an entrepreneur as well as being a Mum and it seems the trend is on the rise with this industry being the fastest growing of all in Australia in 2010!

‘Mumpreneurs’ typically are successful, confident and innovative entrepreneurs who choose to be self-employed in their own business all while caring for their children and families at the same time.  They need to be innovative, professional, have great time management skills and flexibility and while its not for everyone, there are many women finding success in this arena.

Swish Lily is proud and honoured to be selected as one of five finalists in the AusMumpreneur Awards for the category Best Boutique.  Swish Lily is owned and operated by myself, Jayne Day, a Mum to 3 gorgeous children under 8 years.   We stand out above other online stores with our exceptional customer service and the quality products we offer at affordable prices. 

 

The AusMumpreneur Awards brought to us by Connect 2 Mums, celebrate and recognize those achieving success in the industry, in areas such as business, product development, services and innovation in both online and bricks and mortar businesses from around Australia.  The AusMumpreneur Awards take place at a glamourous Awards dinner at Rydges, Southbank, Brisbane on Saturday 31 July.

These awards are the only event of their kind in Australia and will be officially opened by Hon Karen Struthers MP the Minister for Women.

 
Connect2mums provides a safe and supportive environment for women in online businesses to get together and share information, network and gain support.  The site provides members with relevant information and opportunities to interact and socialise with other mums across Australia and New Zealand. Friday night live chats, newsletters, product reviews, real-life events, competitions and articles are just some of the ways women get connected at Connect2mums
