It’s taken me a few days to recover from the fantastic Business Mums Summit www.businessmumsconference.co.uk in Brighton and I’ve attempted three times to write a blog about it but it became one long string of words such as ‘inspiring, fabulous, creative, wonderful, honest and like minded’ So I gave up!
To summarise, it was a day of B2B exhibition stands, break-out business sessions, making excellent business contacts, keynote speakers (including the fabulous and very honest Kate Garraway of www.goodypass.com and ITV!) and not to mention cupcakes, coffee and chatting!
I was there representing the Mumpreneurs Networking Club www.agoodgossip.co.uk where we were to ‘take control’ of the ‘Networking Conga’… this sounds fun in theory but rather noisy and hectic in practice. It was however a fantastic ice-breaker for the day and lots of business cards were exchanged and fifteen second stories shared. I even had my three seconds of fame on the BBC who were filming!
As my working day had started at 6.30am and ended at 7pm, I made it home and promptly fell asleep whilst checking my emails… to be woken up ten minutes later to the call of ‘Mum, I’ve got Food Tech tomorrow, have we got everything to make apple crumble?’. After all the inspiring conversations and honest ‘working mum’ speeches that had inspired me to JFDI and sort out various aspects of my new business www.dawngracie.com (minor things like the website so check back with it shortly!!), it all came back to the day to day ‘mum-chores’ of rushing around trying to establish whether or not ‘unrefined’ brown sugar was just normal brown sugar, and were golden delicious really just small cooking apples? My business head would have to wait until the kids left for school in the morning…. with or without cooking apples, unrefined sugar and unsalted butter!
