Are you ready to BE Your Own Boss?,
By Yvonne Phillips FSII (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are You Ready to Be Your Own Boss? (Perfect Paperback)
Carol has provided an easy to understand book that will move you through the progress of owning your own company. I have been to many seminars and they leave you with lots of question marks as what to do first. She will lead you through the process effortlessly and also give you the skills you need to move forward with your goals of your business.
She will also point out the pitfalls and there are always some to challenge you. I highly recommend Carol's book to add to your business book collection.

Guide To Starting A Business--What To Watch For,
By
This review is from: Are You Ready to Be Your Own Boss? (Perfect Paperback)
This is a great little handbook for anyone considering starting up a business and being self-employed. It gives warnings about things people should be aware of before taking the plunge, making it very clear that it takes long hours and lots of work to be successful in running a profitable business. The author shares her personal success story about running a horse-boarding ranch. It lists further resources including books and web sites in the back which would be helpful to any entrepreneur. I finished this in two days.

A Balanced View of Small Brick and Mortar Business,
By Sherrie St Cyr "So many books - so little time!" (Sherman, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Are You Ready to Be Your Own Boss? (Perfect Paperback)
The author starts out fairly bleakly, but in the end does present a balanced view of the dangers and pleasure of owning your own business. She sprinkles useful questions throughout as tests of whether the reader is prepared to be a business owner.
The book includes many perspectives from other small business owners. It focuses mainly on brick and mortar businesses rather than professionals such as consultants. Overall a quick, but rewarding read.
