Another shout out to your business name, I love it.
There is such a saturation of ‘Mum’ businesses I appreciate that you are going in to bat for the dads.

Mandy Barker replied to the topic What are your essential ingredients for a business event/one day conference in the forum Marketing mastery 2 years, 10 months ago
The most memorable events for me are the ones where I’ve been able to connect with others.
Some of that comes down to the event being organised so that there is ‘space’ between sessions and in lunch/coffee breaks for folks to stand around and chat.
But it’s also up to me to walk up to someone new and start the conversation, and if there is a…[Read more]

Mandy Barker replied to the topic Moving from WAVE Financial Software – What are the options??? in the forum Money matters 2 years, 10 months ago

Hey David, saving pennies is always uber-important, especially when starting out.
I’m not an accountant, and I don’t even run as a company as I’ve been under sole trader set up for 6 years now and I’ve come to this after engaging several different accountants for advice.
But I wonder if you could reframe your thinking around skimping in the area…[Read more]

Hiya! I’ve been a member here for a while but I have (embarrassingly) not used my membership at all so I thought a re-intro might be worthwhile.
My journey to becoming a soloist started 6 years ago after a redundancy. I had been working close to home for 3 years, after spending 8 years with a 3-hour round commute each day. I pondered going…[Read more]
