Welcome to February's edition of the QLD Mumprenuers Expo. Firstly I hope you are all safe and sound after cyclone Yasi. We coped the side edge of it here in Hughenden at a CAT 2 and I was terrified so I can’t imagine what you all were feeling. We have a lot of changes happening at the moment with the launch of our new sub branch SE QLD Mumpreneurs Expos for the Sunshine Coast/ Brisbane region. Check out the logo below thanks to Gina from Groovy Graphics. We are also doing a bit of restructure with the business and marketing side of things, the launch of our website will be taking place at the end of the month, and instead of the monthly newsletter we are going to be doing a bi monthly digital magazine (starting in March) with a printed version for Christmas. The magazine will have a lot more articles in it such as tips and tricks to starting a business, corporate branding, starting out stories etc. Anyone wanting to be apart of the magazine please email us info@qldmumpreneurexpo.com.au We felt that this would give us a bit more of an opportunity to expand on the newsletter and help out by offering more advise and support. This month I have started to integrate the magazine into this issue of the newsletter with a feature story on our mum of the month and some information about our sponsors and a events calendar. I hope you enjoy our new changes and we can’t wait to see everyone at the expo on the 12th March 2011 Lee-Anne Johnson xx

TIP THREE Budget , your budget for starting your business is very important. Your budget needs to cover many things like corporate branding, marketing and promotional materials, products and much more. If you are just starting out or thinking about starting a business be very careful with your budget spend it wisely . Think about what will help promote your business the most, what can you do for free, things you can do yourself..
