Hi, I’m Debbie O’Connor and this is Mum’s the Boss.
I’m a Virtual Assistant and Business Coach, and I’ve been helping mums to set up and run small businesses since 2013.
Mum’s the Boss is about the whole experience of running a small business from home while raising a family, and doing all the other things that mums have to do.
I’ve been working from home since having my first child back in 2003, and I have lots of experience to share about the realities of running a business single handed, but also the constant juggle that mums perform every day, and the nagging guilt that somehow we are not doing enough.
I know when I was in the thick of it, I used to call my mum regularly for parenting, adulting and housekeeping tips, but she would have been no use at all for the digital marketing and small business tips I also needed – I had to figure all that out for myself.
If you are in that space where you could use a little bit of advice, or even just some friendly words of encouragement, then please get in touch, or read some of my articles.
I know it’s hard, and sometimes it feels impossible, but there are often little things you can tweak to make things better. I hope I can show you some of those and give you a helping hand.
