Conference Presenters Rachael Bermingham An energetic, dynamic and proud mum to 3 gorgeous little boys (including twins), Rachael has written 7 bestselling books in the last 4 years and is regarded as one of Australia’s#1 female self-published authors. Rachael co-wrote, self-published and self-funded her 1st book ‘Read My Lips’ in 2005 (a motivational book for women on how to achieve their goals) while breastfeeding her son Jaxson before being asked to utilise her book writing experience and marketing talent and embark on another exciting authoring venture with life long friend Kim McCosker to write what has become the phenomenally successful 4 Ingredients cookbook series. Rachael released her 5th and first solo title ‘How to write your own book and make it a bestseller’ which also became an overnight bestseller. A natural entrepreneur, Rachael’s talent for business shone early on when she succeeded in opening her first business at the tender age of 19 (a hair salon). In her 20 years in business she has become most renowned for her ability and natural flair in building multi-million dollar companies from a home base around family commitments with clever ‘no cost’ marketing and business tactics coupled with effective time management and goal setting strategies. Her passion for helping others to succeed and transform their goals into achievements eventually evolved in the form of authoring books, speaking, and mentoring women in six different countries. Most recently Rachael launched Bermingham Books a help and distribution centre for authors wanting to know how to write, produce and promote their own books. When Rachael’s not working on new books, mentoring, speaking or whipping up something fabulous in the kitchen she can be found enjoying what she loves most; ‘chillaxing’ at home with her fabulous friends and family soaking up the spectacular sun, surf and sand of Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast in Australia. http://www.rachaelbermingham.com

Conference Presenters Susan Pearse Mind Gardener author Susan Pearse is evangelical about improving minds – and not just her own. It’s a fact that her husband and two young toddlers will attest to, having lived and breathed the advice that Susan has made her life’s work. The Brisbane-based author specialises in translating the theory behind how our minds change and adapt into simple, practical tools which can be applied to everyday situations – from parenting techniques to personal relationships and business. As a working mother and entrepreneur, Susan understands better than most the challenges of juggling a busy career while still maintaining a rewarding and fulfilling family life – and the importance of taking time out to reconnect with your partner, children and yourself on a daily basis. www.mindgardener.com.au

Nick Bowditch Nick Bowditch is a Social Futurist. He is also one of Australia’s online success stories.
Basically broke and with his young family expanding quickly, Nick took one of the bravest - and best - decisions of his life and chucked in his city job to start his own travel business, working from home. He built up that business from a customer database of just 4 when he started to more than 22,000 just 3 years later - all without staff, a shop front, and without any mainstream advertising in print, radio or television - instead opting to promote his new business using Social Media Marketing. In the last 3 years, he has now gone from having that one online business to three, his e-books and electronic products have been downloaded thousands of times, and he is now a sought-after keynote speaker, MC for conferences, professional blogger and author. has recently launched his fourth business, Clooee, which specialises in the creation of mobile applications, better customer engagement through mobile marketing and the exciting world of Augmented Reality.

Here’s what some of last year’s conference attendees said: “Meeting other Mumpreneurs was so inspiring in itself. Everyone has an entirely different story but everyone had one thing in common. Have a dream and go for it. Being a mumpreneur is not always easy but it can be sooo rewarding. “ Jayne Day - Swish Lily Boutique “I learned to refocus, reassess my values, and prioritize. I came away from the weekend feeling supported, motivated, and cared for.” Nicole Grant - Gateway Therapies “I was ecstatic to be surrounded by so many beautiful, amazing, talented, strong women who all have a zest for life and humble courage to meet life’s challenges head on. Every time we come together I am awestruck by how powerful women are, and for all the right reasons, prepared to fight for their children and other’s, their families and other’s, the environment, and most importantly for themselves, because without them the world would be a much poorer place spiritually. I’m glad and proud to be a woman and a part of C2M’s!” Sally Naughton - Strawberry Jam Designs “I have been to lots of conferences over the years and this would have to have been one of the best. Yes there were great speakers and I have many strategies to now go and implement but the feelings of support, generosity and encouragement were palpable at this conference. I will definitely be back.” Dr Lucy Burns “Everything I do is for my family, nothing is for me…. I am so passionate about people and making others feel inspired and valued that I forget about myself. I think everyone in that room was just another version of me and I was astounded at the strength, honesty and passion that everyone had for what they were doing but also for each other. It is so common in day to day life that others feel insecure/petty/unnoticed and are ready and willing to shut you down but not one of the connect 2 mums girls made me feel that way and I LOVED IT.” Lana Purcell - Kale Kids “I enjoyed meeting everyone! There wasn’t a single person that I met at the conference that I didn’t learn from, and will probably continue to learn from as time passes. What did I enjoy most? The instant rapport, the wealth of knowledge, the amazing and humbling stories of overcoming adversity to achieve, the laughter, the openness, the warmth and acceptance, and the common bond that we all had of being mums and business people that seemed just make us all “gel”.” Tanya Love - Love Bytes Photography “I loved everything about the conference. All of the speakers were awesome and I have once again learnt so much that will help me and my business jump it to the next level.I am all fired up !!! The love and hugs that I received from old and new friends made me feel so special. I felt validated, supported, nurtured, cared for, educated and the list goes on…….” Vicki Frittmann - Lunalei
