Self-Employed Single Mum

A community and resource to help ambitious single mamas find the freedom, creativity and success you crave by becoming your own boss – at work, and in life.

Hi, I'm Emma-Louise Smith and I created Self-Employed Single Mum because I couldn’t find an online community for women like me – and you. Ambitious, smart, creative single mums who dream about living, and working, on their own terms.

My goal is to build a community and resource to help you find the freedom, creativity and success you crave by becoming your own boss – at work, and in life.

I was lucky enough to stumble across a few beacons of hope. A couple of self-employed single mums who were generous enough to offer me their advice, experience and tips for success. For me, they tipped the balance.

If they could do it then I could too. And so can you.

So my hope is that the site offers you the same inspiration, information and support. I don’t want you to feel alone. I don’t want you to look around and not be able to find inspiring examples of single mums who are ‘doing it for themselves’.
