This review is from: Full-Time Woman, Part-Time Career (Paperback)

"As a new mom, I am in a situation where I am evaluating part-time work as an option. Full-Time Woman, Part-Time Career opened my eyes to some alternatives to a full-time job and gave me several ideas how to pursue this lifestyle. I especially enjoyed Chapter 3, the case study of Cynthia Long, a professional Project Manager. Reading about her made me think this would be a good fit for me, given my existing skills."

I had the pleasure of reading Karen's book Full-time Woman Part-Time Career and would highly recommend that any woman who is thinking about starting a business in any field pick up this book. Karen helps you to understand what you need to know and do to create a flexible business that fits your life and family.

This book specifically covers women with small children, or who want to start a business before they have their children in order to be home for the children they will have. Just like a business plan or marketing plan, this is a book that will help you create a stay at home and work for yourself plan that can almost guarantee your success! This is a book you will refer back to again and again.
