5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Resource for Stay-at-Home Moms, July 6, 2008

By 

JennyLee (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hired @ Home (Paperback)

This well-written resource helps woman seeking opportunities to bring in an income while staying home. The author profiles a wide spectrum of options for both the highly educated and uneducated women. She offers tips on the transition from workplace to home and prepares ladies for some of the problems they might encounter with a home business. She also discusses the nasty topic of taxes and bookkeeping. The book also contains wisdom about recognizing work-at-home scams.

This is not a polemic against daycare or feminism but rather a handbook for those considering a change to "home work" for a variety of reasons.

It is written from a Christian perspective and supports a conservative Christian view of family structure, but it would nevertheless be helpful to non-Christians looking for ideas as well as Christians.

I highly recommend this resource to families who need to add additional income to the household but want to keep one parent in the home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working From Home 101, August 31, 2009

By

This review is from: Hired @ Home (Paperback)

This is the book I wished I had read before starting an at home business.

Well organized but written in a comfortable, easy-to-ready style, the book flowed like a roundtable discussion with friends over coffee. The women's testimonies were from all stages of life and pointed out both the pitfalls and pleasures of working from home.

This wasn't a "feel good about working from home" book. Practical exercises in finance, time management, business plans and marketing help you think through the entire process of starting into business.

Well worth the money. I highly recommend this book to women that are considering a work from home option.

I was totally given the wrong impression of what this book was about as I read about it in a magazine. I am very disappointed.
