Looking to read more about running a business as a woman?
I thought it would be a nice idea to list all the blogs I know for women who own their own businesses. Some of these I read regularly and others were suggested to me on Twitter, Facebook or in the survey I ran a couple of weeks ago.
Some of the links below aren’t technically blogs, but as long as they include a decent amount of freely available articles or videos I’ve included them. They aren’t all aimed directly at women, but if they have a high proportion of women contributors, commenters or readers I’ve included those too. Also, I’ve included big blogs and small blogs, both new and established, as I find I can learn something from each one of them. I wanted to include as much great info as I could.
Oh and sincere apologies to anyone I’ve missed out – please do leave me a comment if you know of any!

Wow and thank you!! Awesome list… So delighted to find so many blogs for mums in business, and honored to be on it as well!
Thank you and you’re very welcome!
Fantastic list, Helen, I have bookmarked this page for reference. Brilliant resource!
Thank you!
thanks Helen – have some of these bookmarked already and will be taking a look at the others – your recommendations have always been great in the past and this looks like another goodie!
Thanks Julia
I’ve recently come across Sonia Calvo at http://www.creatingserenity.com and am enjoying her blog – definitely worth a look.
I agree – Sonia is a gorgeous lady who writes great stuff.
I’d not heard of Sonia before, so thanks to both of you for the tip and I’ll go take a look.
Wow, what a great list of blogs! I like the categories as well, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with a blog roll when you don’t know what their core message is. I’ll come back to this list for sure. Thanks so much for sharing and your “survey” idea was *ingenious*
Cheers

Thank you very much! The categories are pretty loose, but I thought it would be hard to find your way around such a long list without them. As for the survey – thanks to my fab readers for taking the time to give me their feedback!
Helen, there’s one blogger missing from this list (unless I’ve missed it) – and that’s http://www.DanielleLaPorte.com – absolute goddess – thought I’d share that for your other readers
Cheers

How could I have missed Danielle LaPorte?
Thanks for the tip, I’ll update the list.
ha ha, she’s very easy to miss – she’s like God – the illuminating force for all Bloggers. LOL
Cheers

This is a great list and I’d love to be included. My name is Tai Goodwin and the blog is LaunchWhileWorking.com an online magazine for EmployedPreneurs – professionals who are launching a business while working fulltime: http/www.launchwhileworking.com
Stay Brilliant!
Thanks Tai, I haven’t heard of your blog before so it’s good to ‘meet’ you.
Loving the idea of an ‘employedpreneur’!
Great list Helen and thank you for including my Work For Mums website, Suzannah.
You’re very welcome, Suzannah
Fantastic! I shall be bookmarking this for future reference. It’s so exhausting to be a full time stay at home mum working full time from said home that I’m always looking for inspiration and for the relief that others find it hard at times too
Thank you! I’m with you there Maria, it can certainly be exhausting.
Hey Helen,
