How She Did It // Submit Your Story

We have brought back our How She Did It ® feature and as you are a member of the Members’ Club, we would love to feature you!

We’d love to find out more about your story, how you got started in business, how you’ve managed to get to where you are today, because we know it’ll be inspiring to others, and that’s what FEA is all about. No matter what stage you’re at right now, we’d love to hear from you, all you need to do is answer the questions below the best you can and submit them.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED HERE ARE A FEW TIPS…

• Try and make your story as interesting as you can, so people read it all the way through.

• Give us the scoop – the more value you add, the more our audience will love you.

• Don’t make your story salesy, as we won’t be able to publish it, because people won’t want to read it.

Please make sure you save your answers on your computer, before pasting and submitting in the form, in case you leave & come back later, or if their is a problem submitting at the end – we don’t want you to lose your answers.

We can only publish stories that are well written and will add value to our readers, so take your time with it. If your story is selected to be published we’ll email you and let you know once it’s live.
