"I truly am flattered to have been nominated for this award, let alone to have been selected as a finalist." Being a mum, small business owner and a FIFO wife sure does come with its challenges. I created a business from thin air during a global pandemic and now, two years later it’s my full time gig, I can dictate my hours depending on what suits our family life best and I am insanely passionate about what I “do”. I have connected with so many small business owners these last 24 months and I have grown such huge respect for how hard each & everyone of them work. "Being a mum, small business owner and a FIFO wife sure does come with its challenges. I created a business from thin air during a global pandemic and now, two years later it’s my full time gig, I can dictate my hours depending on what suits our family life best and I am insanely passionate about what I “do”.and family. And also, cutting them some slack when something goes wrong. Please just take a moment to show some love and compassion to a small biz owner these days because let’s be honest, we are all headless chooks right now." Read more at www.ausmumpreneur.com.
