    What is a Mumpreneur? And Why You’re Probably Already One

    Let me guess. It’s 9 PM, the kids are finally asleep, and you’re scrolling on your phone thinking, “There has to be more than this.” You’ve got ideas bubbling up – maybe it’s a product that would make other mums’ lives easier, or a service you know you could deliver better than what’s out there. But then you think, “Who am I kidding? I can barely keep up with laundry.”

    Sound familiar?

    Here’s the thing: you’re already running the most complex operation in the world – a household with tiny humans who need constant everything. You’re basically a CEO who works 24/7 without pay. So why put those skills to work for something that could pay you back?

    What exactly is a mumpreneur?

    Simply put, a mumpreneur is a mum who starts and runs her own business. But it’s so much more than that definition suggests.

    You know that friend who started selling handmade hair bows on Instagram? Mumpreneur. The neighbour who began offering virtual bookkeeping services during naptime? Mumpreneur. That mum at school pickup who turned her meal prep obsession into a thriving local business? Yep, mumpreneur.

    We’re talking about 13.8 million women in the US alone who decided their ideas were worth pursuing, even with Goldfish crackers stuck to their laptops.

    Why now? Why are so many mums doing this?

    The numbers are actually mind-blowing. Nearly half of all new businesses are now started by women, and mothers make up a significant proportion of those. The pandemic was like a massive wake-up call – suddenly, everyone realised that traditional work wasn’t working for families.

    Think about it:

    1. School closures meant someone had to be home
    2. Childcare became impossible to find (or afford)
    3. Many mums got laid off or had their hours cut
    4. But the bills didn’t stop coming

    So what did we do? We got creative. We started side hustles. We turned our skills into income streams that could bend around our family’s needs instead of the other way around.

    But let’s be honest about the challenges.

    I’m not going to sugarcoat this. Being a mumpreneur isn’t all laptop-on-the-beach Instagram posts. It’s more like a laptop-balanced-on-the-washing-machine-while-making-lunch reality.

    Time is your biggest enemy. You know those productivity gurus who talk about “morning routines”? Try explaining that to a toddler who’s decided 4:30 AM is the perfect time to discuss dinosaurs. Most mumpreneurs work in 15-minute chunks between everything else life throws at them.

    Money is tight. Women are 37% more likely to fund their businesses with personal savings because getting traditional funding as a mum feels nearly impossible. Banks aren’t exactly lining up to invest in “that idea you had while watching CoComelon for the hundredth time.”

    The guilt is real. Should you be playing with the kids instead of answering emails? Should you be working on your business instead of making elaborate bento box lunches? The mental load is exhausting.

    And honestly? 43% of mother entrepreneurs feel their parental status affects their professional opportunities. People assume that because you’re a mum, you’re not “serious” about business. (Spoiler alert: we’re deadly serious. We happen to know every word to “Baby Shark.”)

    The success stories that’ll make you believe

    Here’s what keeps me going when I doubt this whole mumpreneur thing works: the incredible women who’ve done it before us.

    Sara Blakely started Spanx with $5,000 while working full-time and is now worth over $1 billion. She talks about cutting the feet out of pantyhose because nothing fit right – and instead of complaining, she made it work. As a mum of four, she’s proof that you can build an empire AND raise humans.

    Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) literally started by blogging about her daily life on a ranch. Now she has TV shows, cookbooks, restaurants, and a media empire. She began by just sharing what she knew – and what she knew was being a mum in the middle of nowhere, making meals for her family.

    But you don’t need to become a household name. There are thousands of mums quietly building six-figure businesses:

    1. The mum who started a meal planning service because she was tired of the 5 PM “What’s for dinner?” panic
    2. The former teacher who created educational printables during her maternity leave
    3. The military spouse who built a virtual assistant business she could take anywhere

    These women didn’t have some special secret. They just decided their ideas mattered, even if they had to develop them between school runs and bedtime stories.

    Your realistic first steps (no fluff, I promise)

    Start with what’s already in your head. You don’t need a revolutionary idea. You need to solve a problem you understand. What drives you crazy as a mum? What do you find yourself constantly helping other mums with? What skills do you have that could help someone else?

    Test it before you invest. Post in local Facebook groups. Ask friends. Create a simple survey. If other mums say “OMG, yes, I need this,” you might be onto something. If they give you polite “that’s nice” responses, keep brainstorming.

    Think baby steps, not giant leaps. You don’t need a business plan that rivals Amazon’s. You need to know:

    1. What you’re selling
    2. Who wants to buy it
    3. How much to charge
    4. How you’ll deliver it

    Start there. Everything else can evolve.

    Get the boring stuff sorted early. Set up a simple LLC (you can do this online in a matter of hours), obtain a business bank account, and maintain accurate records of receipts. Future you will thank present you when tax time rolls around.

    Finding your village (because you can’t do this alone)

    Connect with other mumpreneurs. Join Facebook groups, follow Instagram accounts, and find local networking meetups. These women get it. They understand why you’re answering client emails at 10 PM and why you sometimes have conference calls from your car in the school pickup line.

    Build your support system at home. Have honest conversations with your partner about what this means to you. Will they handle bedtime on certain nights? Can they take over weekend activities so you can focus on other things? What does success look like for your family?

    The time management reality check

    Forget those “5 AM miracle morning” routines. Your productive time might be during naptime, after bedtime, or even during that blessed hour when kids are zoned out watching TV. And that’s perfectly okay.

    Batch similar tasks. Answer all emails at once. Do all your social media posting for the week in one sitting. Make all your business calls on the same day when you have childcare arranged.

    Use your phone strategically. While dinner is cooking, you can respond to DMs. While kids are in the bath (safely supervised, obviously), you can brainstorm content ideas. Those little pockets of time add up.

    Lower your standards elsewhere. Your house doesn’t need to be Pinterest-perfect. Dinner can be simple. The kids can wear mismatched socks. Permit yourself to be good enough in some areas so you can be excellent in building your business.

    Here’s what nobody tells you (but I will)

    Your business will look different from everyone else’s – and that’s your superpower. You understand mum problems in a way that non-mums don’t. You know how to make quick decisions under pressure. You can multitask like nobody’s business.

    Some days will be disasters. You’ll have essential calls interrupted by toddler meltdowns. You’ll send emails with typos because you were distracted by requests for snacks. You’ll question everything. This is normal, not a sign you should quit.

    Your kids are watching. Forty-eight per cent of mother entrepreneurs expect their children to take over their businesses eventually. Whether or not that happens, you’re showing them that mums can chase dreams, build something meaningful, and that problems can become opportunities.

    The truth about being a mumpreneur

    You don’t need to choose between being a good mum and being a successful business owner. You can absolutely be both. Will it be easy? Absolutely not. Will it be worth it? That depends on what matters to you.

    It could be the financial freedom to not stress about unexpected expenses. It could be the flexibility to be present for school events. It could be a way to prove to yourself that your ideas have value. It’s showing your daughters that women can build empires from their kitchen tables.

    If you’re reading this and thinking, “Maybe I could do this,” trust that instinct. You already have one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Running a business feels like a vacation compared to negotiating with a three-year-old about wearing shoes.

    The world needs more businesses built by mums who understand real problems and aren’t afraid to solve them. Your idea might be precisely what another mum desperately needs.

    So what do you think? Are you ready to add “mumpreneur” to your already impressive resume of keeping tiny humans alive and thriving?
