British Library 'Inspiring Entrepreneurs' series: Mothers of Invention 3 – Celebrating International Women’s Month 2008

In celebration of International Women’s Month, this discussion will develop key topics such as: What inspired you and how did you get your idea off the ground? What opportunities and obstacles did you encounter along the way? Where did you obtain your financial backing and business advice from? How did you manage to balance your work and home life? If you had to start again, what if anything would you do differently?
