My 1-1 session with May King was just what I needed to give me extra motivation! She’s given me great advice with regards to my Instagram and Google business page which I’m working through this week and she has also introduced me to a really useful app that I’d not heard of to help me set up a web page. Great expert advice on all things social media- which is what I was desperate for 😊 Her talk with me left me feeling so much more at ease and has stopped me putting too much pressure on myself, which in turn is helping me achieve more this working week. Thank You.

Stick on it Printing
Networking with women helps me connect with likeminded women who understand how hard it is to run a business. It allows me to be myself & make long lasting friendships.

Networking has really helped me to build my own network of people who help me to support my negotiation clients. If I don't have the answer they need, I have a pool of contacts I've met that I can either connect them to or find the answer from.

I met Jude at the monthly networking event held with Social Enterprise Exchange (SEE), I was intrigued by how she introduced MNFW to the whole group on the virtual event because it sounded like an organisation that was achieving exactly what it stands for - bring women in business together, empowering them and helping them build key business and life skills. I spoke to Jude to get some ideas on how to build a business model that works when starting a membership relaying business, she inspired me by telling me how My Network for women started, this was strong because it showed she was an open book willing to pass on her learnings to me.
After this I got her contact details and she invited me to some of the events, at first it was over whelming as I was the only man in the event but everyone was welcoming, again this showed how much the organisation is very much all about people growth and passing on learnings. As I had just registered my CIC Greet & Develop , I kept in touch with Jude having catch up calls discussing what I have been up with the business, she became more of a mentor before I knew it, because I found myself emailing her to discuss situations I needed some advice on, she introduced me to some individuals that she thought would help me move Greet & Develop forward and she also helped me with sources to where I could find funding. I am grateful for Jude and My Network for Women for all the work they are doing.

Being part of the MNFW has had a significant impact on me. I have always wanted to run my own business, but 10 years as a stay at home Mum does have an effect on your self-confidence, I mean where to start?. Meeting Jude and finding out all about the MNFW was a turning point,…
Being part of the MNFW has had a significant impact on me. I have always wanted to run my own business, but 10 years as a stay at home Mum does have an effect on your self-confidence, I mean where to start?. Meeting Jude and finding out all about the MNFW was a turning point, her warmth, excitement and obvious passion made me comfortable to admit to her that running my own business was something I'd always wanted to do. She encouraged me to join the network, explaining that it was a place where women could be themselves, explore their ideas, gain skills, confidence and build networks of likeminded women, who were committed to supporting each other and celebrating success. I was nervous but spending time with women from all walks of life, already running successful businesses, who have the same questions and insecurities as me, helped me realise, I can hold my own. That coupled with access to training sessions, positive discussions and support, helped me focus on my dream of running my own business and I have never looked back.

As I always say, the meetings are so much more than coffee and chat. Thank you so much for a very informative presentation.
Today's presentation certainly inspired me to check out my state pension (done!); tidy up my bookkeeping (done!), and now have a much better understanding of allowable expenses.
Also, feeling confident to shred a pile of unnecessary paperwork!
I’m now inspired to save all future invoices/receipts etc. digitally rather than coping with piles of paperwork!
Feeling so much more confident now with my bookkeeping.
Thank you - this has helped me tremendously and I will look forward to the follow-up workshop.

MyNetwork for Women has helped me gain the knowledge and confidence I needed to continue improving our business, Bawtry Natural Health, and continue the growth we have seen every year.

The thought of networking sent chills down my spine, but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and the potential benefits spurred me on. I looked around and found MyNetwork for Women.
I went along and gradually made friends. I became more and more confident. The business pitch I had dreaded became easier each time and the knowledge I took away from the events and speakers has proved invaluable in my personal and business life.
I have made new friends and met therapists that now work in our Therapy centre.

Holistic Harmony
When I joined MNFW, I found it to be incredibly friendly and everyone else there was just like me! We were all starting out being self-employed and many of us felt exactly the same…we needed some support and a friendly ear to bounce ideas off.
The group was open to anyone and it was safe and supportive. We could share our successes and get encouragement from other members if we were having a bad week.…
I joined MyNetwork for Women when it was first starting out. I had recently quit my teaching job of 20 years to become a full-time complementary therapist. It was all exciting apart from one thing – I was quite lonely working from home and I missed having supportive colleagues who you could chat to.

We learnt a lot from the guest speakers, but we had fun at the same time.
I look forward to the monthly meetings and really enjoy the opportunities to learn new things from members who join each month.

The Spotted Dog Flower Co.
Its very friendly and welcoming to everyone, those who attend have a wide range of business backgrounds and there is always someone to talk to. Relevant speakers are featured and the meetings are on Mondays, my admin day, so a guilt free trip into town. I also get the chance to talk about and promote my own business and that can’t be bad thing.…
What are the main reasons of you joining our network?
After working in an office environment for many years, surrounded by people, the move to self-employed was quite a leap. Most of my day is spent working entirely alone, and whilst that has many advantages, I really missed the opportunity to talk, bounce around ideas and learn new things. Joining the network has introduced me to a wide range of people from all working backgrounds and I really appreciate the opportunity to get together and also that there is always someone to listen outside of meetings too.
How has MNFW helped you?
I have learned lots of useful business information from the excellent range of speakers on topics from banking to social media and have also met lots of people who are interested in what I do and have become customers and friends. It also gives the opportunity to engage in practising public speaking in a non-threatening welcoming environment.
What do you like most about our group?

Relevant speakers are featured and the meetings are on Mondays, my admin day, so a guilt free trip into town. I also get the chance to talk about and promote my own business and that can’t be bad thing.
What would you like to see more from MNFW?
I’d like the group to continue to encourage the women of Doncaster and surrounding areas to build strong business skills to develop and support their businesses and each other.
