Big girl boots scholarship
June 19, 2008 by Kylie Short
If you’ve been thinking of attending the Business Mums Conference next month then this is the post for you. I am offering one scholarship to attend the Business Mums Network Conference in Melbourne. Why? Last year was a big year for me. My business grew very quickly, I was working all hours, irritable and generally stressed out. The I received a phone call from Melissa. She wanted to offer me a scholarship to attend the conference, was I interested?
I had a talk to my code monkey, we organised for our eldest two to go to their grandparents and we drove the 11 hours from our home town to Melbourne with Miss Matilda. Well.. I fell in love. With the city of course. But during the two day conference I began to look at my business from the outside in. Instead of working feverishly I sat back, listened to other business owners who were experts in their field and I began to make a series of decisions that have set me on my current path today.
It was an eye opening experience! I’d been working hard to get out of the employee mindset and yet I still hadn’t broken free from it. It was so hard choosing between the different workshops and I remember wanting to go to both of them.
I met some fantastic people who I’ve become close friends with. We talk about kid stuff, spouse stuff, business stuff etc.
I’m soooo glad I was able to go and this year I want to pay it forward and help someone else to go too.
If you’ve been thinking about attending and you’re not quite sure, send me an email. I’d love to hear from you and give you the opportunity to go too.

What a fantastic opportunity for someone. I look forward to meeting the deserving winner of this scholarship at the conference
I am opening my own VA business after having struggled working for many others for 24 years! I’m taking the plunge and am trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible. Afterall, knowledge is power! I would love to attend this conference and gather as much information as possible, add to my technical knowledge and gain networking skills. This would be an awesome opportunity. If I’m not selected, I hope the person who is takes FULL ADVANTAGE of this opportunity. Bless you for this opportunity. Someone is going to benefit greatly!
Thank you.
