5.0 out of 5 stars Moms On The Go..., June 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Momprenuers (R) Online: Using the Internet for Work at Home Success (Paperback)

Moms on the go need this book. As a syndicated family/parentng columnist and author of Mommy-CEO, Revised Edition, I am always online. I spend between 4 to 5 hours a day writing and submitting articles and columns online to various websites, newspapers and magazines. Needless to say, I needed valuable tips to help me plug into my daily plans. I get many copies of books and this one is a keeper.

I'd like to also recommend another new book called, The Entrepreneurial Parent, which similar to Mompreneurs, has doable and practical tips on making the most of working from home. Together, they make a great backup system to many unanswered questions.
