Rececca Jones: Business In Red Shoes

Business in Red Shoes    

The successful woman’s guide to business start-up and beyond

Now is the right time for you to live your dream of business ownership.  I know this because right now is always the best time.  Putting off your vision for business ownership will not make you happy.  But being a business owner can.   You can have the business life, home life and future you want.  It just needs planning and consideration, vision and determination.

Business in red shoes will enable you to plan start and grow a business which suits you, your needs and your life.  Taking you on one of the most exciting journeys ever, into the world of entrepreneurship.  You will see how your business can be built to work for you.  Drawing on the experiences of other women who have travelled the same journey you will see how to avoid the mistakes and ensure your business is as successful as you want it to be.

Business in red shoes provides you with the opportunities to consider your own plans through activities and top tips.  Rebecca Jones is a business coach for women, with passion and drive for success amongst the women she supports.  Her own experience of business start-up and ownership while her own children were young enables her to really understand your needs.  Her aim is to develop potential and current business women to be successful and content, both in business and life and for them to have a business and life they can be proud of.

“The most important things to me are assisting other women in reaching their potential and feeling they have achieved something positive in their lives”.  Rebecca Jones

What others have said about Business in Red Shoes:

I’m finding your book so useful for me and my new business – I wish I had read it years ago, at a time when I knew that I wanted my own business, but got myself in a tizz not knowing quite the right path for me. I’m now doing something I love so much and which suits my skills and personality, but I certainly didn’t take the quickest route to get here! Just reading the first part of your book could have saved me lots of time and confusion. Kathy De Mattia, PR Consultant @ Guru Street

This is an inspirational and positive book:” Together we are going to take your dream and turn it into reality now” . In this A5 size book ,that can be carried in a handbag ,Rebecca Jones does just that. Each practical and “you can do it chapter”, written in plain English ,ends with a useful one page review for reference.
Sue Moules, author and poet

I’ve been musing about writing a book since I began working with Motivating Mum but have had to put my ideas on hold while I get to grips with the business first. Looking at Business in Red Shoes, this is the book I would like to have written, well laid out, with a friendly and engaging style, and including all the tips that I might have given to mums starting out in business, with many more of Rebecca’s own. I hope this book does well – it certainly deserves to. The book is available in paperback or on Kindle.
Debbie O’Connor, Motivating Mum UK

I love this book as it strips setting up a business back to basics, giving you a chance to ensure that you are making the right decision before you jump in feet first. Rebecca also shares the stories of some of the clients, the mistakes they have made and their successes too. This is a must-read if you are considering making the plunge.
Karen Williams, coach and author of The Secrets of Successful coaching

The Red Shoe Business Woman Rebecca Jones will be speaking at the conference this year

Rebecca Jones is a mentor to women in business, author of business start up book “Business in Red Shoes” and a professional speaker for women’s conferences and events. Her business journey started at the age of 19 having been told at school she wasn’t likely to ever be much.  Bringing up a young family and dyslexia didn’t stop Rebecca from returning to education and gaining both teaching qualifications and a master’s degree while still running her own company.  She is now passionate in her desire to support other women to be what they want to be in life. 

Regularly working side by side with women as a trainer, coach, mentor and consultant to business owners, Rebecca has developed a deep insight into the life of business women.   Rebecca regularly speaks to women about developing a business which suits them, their life and their needs and supports women to be successful in business whilst still having a life of their own.

At Business Mums Unite Conference and Exhibition this year Rebecca will be speaking to the whole conference - below is the outline of what she will be speaking about:

We could all be superwoman if only the hot pants fitted:

For many women they seem to feel that unless they are taking on the world in a flurry of tasks then they are not achieving.  It really is possible to achieve your goals without having to become superwoman.   Rebecca takes a humorous look at how we women try to do it all in order to have it all yet but really just want you all to leave us alone just for five minutes.  Suited to busy women executives, women business owners and women who juggle work and family.  The audience will have chance to consider their own life, think about what really is important and have top tips to take away to start managing life more realistically.
