Tuesday 14th June - Sell It Mama and SE London Mumpreneurs Businessmums Networking Lunch in Crystal Palace - with guest speaker Sam Willoughby - Founder of Whats on 4

Mums get advice from guest speaker - Sam Willoughby, Founder of http://www.whatson4.com/ at a Sell It Mama! and SE London Mumpreneurs Networking Lunch on the 14 June 2011, between 11.30am - 2pm at in the Exhibition Rooms in Crystal Palace.

Sam will be sharing her story with Mums and giving them advice and tips on how to make their business a success.

Sam Willoughby set up her business What's On 4 http://www.whatson4.com/  after having her baby when her employer wouldn't discuss a flexible return to work. She put together her own business experience and a situation she found herself in as a new Mum to launch http://www.whatson4littleones.co.uk/  

Sam is passionate about flexible working for parents. Her website http://www.mumandworking.co.uk/  offers advice, support and opportunities for any parent looking for that flexible career and the mumandworking awards supported by Sarah Beeny recognised other companies and individuals that share this passion.

Sam has won five business awards, speaks regularly to business women and has contributing to several books. Sam has also started mentoring other business women so they can achieve fast growth too.

Sam's advice to any woman thinking of starting her own business is "Get support from family and friends and professional advice too, then go for it. You’ll never have so much fun or work so hard and it will take you places you never would have imagined!”.

Come along and meet like-minded mums over a two course lunch with tips and encouragement from guest speaker Sam Willoughby.

You'll also have the opportunity to chat to other mums about their experiences, share ideas, get new business referrals and make new friends.
