Acknowledgments
I’m eternally grateful for the people who’ve touched my life, without whom the Invisible Revolution would not have seen the light of day.
First and foremost to you, holding this book - without a reader, a book is nothing! I know how precious your time is, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting in me and for investing in our journey in the pages that follow.
To the incredible ladies I’ve been blessed to meet over the years, especially in the Mpower Mums in business community, mastermind groups and my one-to-one clients - sharing and supporting in your journey feeds my soul and you have all taught me so much about myself, the world we live in and the power of purpose-led women to shape the future. A special thank you to all the amazing ladies who gave up their time to share their wisdom through the Mpower Mums in business podcast interviews and gave permission to share their stories and Secrets of the Revolution.
To the special ladies of my first VIP (Very Inspirational People) mastermind group – Emily Thorpe, Ruth Oshikanlu and Dawn Cummins You taught me about love within a sisterhood.
To my idols, who have touched my life from a young age without them knowing it - Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Cheryl Richardson, Marianne Williamson and his holiness the Dalai Lama. Thank you all for your light, wisdom and inspiration.
To Elizabeth Gilbert for bringing Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear into my life, without which I would never have found the key to unlocking my heart and allowing this book to find its way into the world.
To Dame Mary Perkins, for being such a supportive and inspirational role-model to Mumpreneurs and for so generously being interviewed and writing the foreword for this book.
To my publisher, Alison Jones, of Practical Inspiration publishing - for believing in me and the power of something she couldn’t yet see. To Martin Teviotdale for bringing the Invisible Revolution to life through his gift as an artist and illustrator.
To Nick Bolton and his team at Animas for creating the world’s leading transformational coach training school - it’s where my Mpower journey really began.
To all the Alpha and Beta readers who gave me such invaluable feedback and encouragement throughout the writing process, particularly Kath Curry, Annelise Pesa, Joan Wallington, Anne Wilson, Liane Orgill, Penny Pullan, Sandra Green, Sharon Jackson, Lucy Griffin-Stiff, Graham Wilson, Pauline Huelin - and a special thank you to Tracey Wall, who put more than her heart and soul into beta-reading this book to help make it the best it can be to empower other mums in business.
To my parents, for teaching me what unconditional love looks like and for giving me and my brother Kye and sister Emma a place to call home both as a child and as an adult with such unshakeable foundations of love.
To Nanny, loving matriarch and role-model for leading, inspiring and impacting on generations of family life from a place of love.
To Graham Wilson, the love of my life - for loving me for who I am, for being my divine life partner with whom to build a loving family home, and for giving me the support, encouragement and understanding to live out my big vision of touching a million lives.
And to my children Carlie and Liam, for blessing me with the gift of motherhood, filling my heart with the love of a parent, for being my inspiration, my reason to thrive when life became a struggle, and for teaching me things only a child can teach a mother.
I thank the Universe for this divine life, which has taught me so much through all of its ups and downs - thank you for choosing me to share the message of the Invisible Revolution!
Praise for The Invisible Revolution
‘World changers’ and ‘home makers’ are, these days, one and the same. The necessary need for new approaches in enterprise across the globe has been a catalyst for Mumpreneurs to rise brightly from the shadows. This group of global citizens are becoming recognised as important contributors to economic wellbeing.
Nicola Huelin has noticed a global movement of change in our time, which has been rolling and growing like a snowball, thus far unnoticed. The Invisible Revolu tion makes sense of what is happening with very practical guidance and techniques for Mumpreneurs to thrive and survive the inevitable challenges of being a proactive part of change.
I am not a mother, but I am a daughter and I am a sister of the mothers of the world. I am writing this from the perspective of being a British woman who set up a business in Crete at the start of the Greek political, economic and ensuing social crisis. Across Greece, mothers in enterprise have been mobilised as a matter of necessity for their families and their communities. Women Innovators of Sustainable Enterprise are gathering in meetings, conferences, online spaces and in one another’s homes to learn from one another and to share. This book offers invaluable advice and support to such groups of women. The internet revolution means that mums in business, from diverse countries across the planet, are sharing their stories of becoming ‘visible’ in their enterprises. The voices of ‘revolution’ are supporting each other across the world.
Nicola discusses ‘role models’ in this book. Nicola Huelin is one such shining example of a role model for any existing, or aspiring Mumpreneur to follow. The enlightened pages of this book prove that.
Sharon Jackson, Founder and CEO, The European Sustainability Academy (ESA), Crete
These real life stories straight from the heart inspire mums everywhere.
Dame Mary Perkins, Co-founder of Specsavers, the UK’s first self-made female billionaire and original Mumpreneur
I believe reading this book will give you the courage to begin… and the courage to succeed.
Lucy Piper, Presenter
Nicola has written the essential handbook that every Mumpreneur should read. Inspiring, insightful and packed full of strategies to help us all achieve our dreams.
Jo Davison, founder of Blue Cow Global
What a fascinating insight into the world of ‘Mumpreneuership’ from a truly authentic female who has been there, done it, suffered, risen again and created a life of passion and ambition. Nic shares an unusual blend of openness and raw passion about motherhood, guilt and the highs and lows of running your own business. She provides a rich seam of resources with a powerful intention of helping mums in business. I particularly love some of the expressions shared: “Your inner calling is more of a gentle whisper” and “Ours is a complex mission of balancing, minimising and expanding.” And, as a woman who is passionate about helping other women break through the glass ceiling, Nicola describes, in her Collective Revolution section, how “women can switch the notions of competition and scarcity for collaboration and abundance”. There’s some powerful stuff in this book - a great read, no matter what stage you are at in your business.
Sandra Green, founder of the Women Leaders Association
Without question this book is for you if you’re a mum aspiring to start up your own business. Or, you’re already a mum in business and would like an insight into understanding what it really takes to succeed in business and without compromising your enjoyment of raising your family. Within the book Nicola guides you with much love, knowledge, experience and support as she helps draw out your natural passion and purpose from within you. She empowers you to not just create and build a business you love but also a business that is totally aligned with enabling you to balance it with your many other roles and responsibilities, your desire to enjoy quality time raising your family and time to recharge your own batteries with nurturing self-care!
I found this book extremely difficult to put down, so absorbed was I in the enlightening real stories, experiences and quotes shared that I could totally relate to, by Nicola and many other successful mums in business who have shared their expertise and experiences too! There is so much powerful knowledge, thought-provoking questions and guidance shared about starting up and building your business with solid foundations to ensure it thrives and grows. There are many insightful ideas to enthuse and support you in creating a business that excites you.
The Invisible Revolution is written from the heart and with total honesty! Inspiring you in so many ways along your ‘Mumpreneurial’ journey, providing a real insight as to what it truly takes to succeed in business, whilst juggling the inevitable mum-related challenges and the personal internal dialogue (that isn’t always as supportive as it should be) encountered along the way too! It will pick you up and motivate you through the lows of doubting yourself or your abilit
