Janna Martin of Terrigal has been named a finalist for the AusMumpreneur Awards in the Personal Services and Women’s Champion categories.
Martin, who was also a judge in the awards this year placed second for Emerging AusMumpreneur of the year last year for her Mums2Mums Home Service.
The AusMumpreneur Awards, presented by The Women’s Business School, celebrate and recognise Australian mums in business achieving outstanding success in areas such as business excellence, product development, customer service and digital innovation.
The awards are designed to recognise the growing number of women who successfully balance motherhood and business in a way that suits their life and family.
“I’m a busy Mumpreneur who has two daughters aged nine and five,” Martin said.
“My life is full of family activities, which I love.
“I enjoy going to the beach, travelling to new places and seeing new things.
“I love that my business fits into my family life and the best part is chatting/planning/networking with my franchisees and other women in the industry.
“Mums2Mums was started to help solve two problems we have today; needing more time to maintain our homes and a lack of jobs with flexible hours and days for mums returning to work.”
Martin said she also recognised that only a handful of cleaners provided high-quality house cleaning services at a reasonable price.
“I am delighted to be named as a finalist and am proud of my achievements, still growing in harsh conditions, monitoring and moving with the market and perfecting our quality control as we gain most clients from word of mouth,” she said.
“There are many benefits to balancing business and motherhood.
“It has taught me that being resilient and having support is important.
“I believe the women supporting women in our business is important and helps everyone achieve goals they may not have without it.”
Martin advises others thinking about starting their own enterprise to “give it a go”.
“Business is much easier if you are doing something you enjoy doing,” she said.
“Also, make sure you have support.
“You will need it – just someone or a group where you can bounce ideas and vent.”
Winners of the AusMumpreneur Awards will be announced at the AusMumpreneur Awards Gala Dinner in September.
