Being a mum is already a full-time job. Between preparing meals, helping your kids with their homework, taking care of household chores, and running errands, there’s barely any time left for you to breathe, let alone to run a business. And yet, there are so many amazing women out there who are both great mothers and successful business owners, and one can’t help but wonder how they do it.
The truth is, there’s no rule saying that if you’re a busy mum, you can’t be an accomplished entrepreneur as well, for example you could sell feet pics. There’s no denying that it’s extremely difficult and challenging to organise yourself and find time for everything when you have so many responsibilities on your plate. But as so many women have already proved, you can accomplish anything you want when you have passion and determination on your side.
So, here are some tips from mumpreneurs on how they manage to balance family life with running a successful business.

Chimene Mary “Chemmy” Crawford Alcott is the most fearless mum of two I have ever met in my entire media career. Beautiful and confident Chemmy is the real deal. She is an English former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in all five skiing disciplines (downhill, super G, giant slalom, slalom and combined) and she is a fun mum and has a ‘dream’ TV job these days. Chemmy is the new lead presenter on hit BBC show Ski Sunday alongside Ed Leigh. Not many people know that Chemmy broke not just many bones while skiing but also the world record for number of beer mats flipped and caught in 30 seconds and made it into Guinness World Records. I caught up with her at The Ivy in London.
