From Booklist

The main complaint of home workers is that they have so much to do in so little time. Through interviews with 30 professionals, Kanarek provides 101 tips that fall into nine categories, from customer service to personal development, all of which are intended to slacken tight schedules and increase revenues. To those who have run their own business from home for a while, many of these recommendations might seem elementary; yet to fledglings, because each tip is buttressed with a real-life example, a lot of the advice will undoubtedly prove useful.

This review is from: 101 Home Office Success Secrets, Second Edition (Paperback)

..Author Lisa Kanarek does a fabulous job of organizing her ideas into useful categories. It reads as if the author and her editors decided that if the majority of home office workers could not use a secret, it would not make the book. The book's only glaring problem is minor: two tips are identical (numbers 29 and 72: create a Web site). Fortunately, Kanarek followed her own advice (Tip #102 "Always give more than expected"), so readers expecting 101 secrets will not feel shortchanged...our tip is that this book is required reading for anyone working from home.
