Here Amelia, 44, of Whitstable, Kent, gives her top five tips for mums starting up a business:
- Expect the unexpected: This is always key but never more so than in the current crisis. Be able to react immediately to whatever situation is thrown at you.
- Compartmentalise: In your mind, separate your family and work to prevent the stress of one affecting the other. Learn to sideline problems and deal with them in allocated times.
- Know your seasonal peaks and troughs: This will help you manage staff and stock and also stop you panicking when you realise a certain month is always quiet year on year.
- Innovate: Never stop designing, developing and evolving your business.
(Look after your team: Be transparent and open with your staff. Engage them in the journey and give them space and control in day-to-day decision making. Make it a team effort and share the highs and lows.
