Nationwide Hunt for Single Mothers in Business
Struggling single mothers are set to be thrown a lifeline by a group of business professionals through a free business scholarship program totaling more than $60,000 in value.
(PRWEB) June 29, 2005 -- A group of business professionals have set up a free business scholarship program worth more than $60,000 for struggling, single mothers. The program is due for launch on Aug. 18.
The program, titled SMILE, Single Mothers Income Lifestyle Experience, will give a much-needed helping hand to 20 single mothers who have just started in business, through the provision of free 12 week business coaching program, assistance with marketing, advertising, sales and Web design as well as other products and services designed to make their lives easier.
The scholarships are valued at between $3000 and $5000 each and are offered at no cost to participants. 20 are being offered.
SMILE is the brainchild of entrepreneur, Kristina Mills, owner of Words that Sell and Imaginicity. Mills spearheaded the program as a way of doing her part to help single mothers create sustainable businesses for themselves so they can enjoy a solid income as well as have more time with their children.
As a self-employed mother of twin boys, I know how wonderful it can be working from home in a flexible environment where I can spend more time with my children. I also know how difficult and stressful it can be setting up a new business and at the same time juggling motherhood responsibilities," said Mills. I figure that I can use my skills to help single mothers avoid some of the mistakes I made and be more successful sooner. And to magnify the reach of the program Im bringing together a group of other business experts to play a key coaching role too."
Entry into the SMILE program occurs by way of application. More information can be found by visiting www.wordsthatsell.com.au/smile.htm
