Amazon.com Review
Fiscal stability while growing a business? Money-Smart Secrets for the Self-Employed, by financial journalist Linda Stern, clearly outlines a series of logical, easy-to-apply techniques and practices designed to ensure just that. It addresses all of the major economic issues faced by a solo enterprise today--including taxes, expenses, record-keeping, loans, insurance, and hiring--and details, in very readable fashion, the myriad legal ins-and-outs that can keep cash flowing even during uncertain fiscal times.
From the Publisher
"Linda Stern writes clearly and sensibly about one of the thorniest problems facing the self-employed: money! She helps you save and keep it."

Don't Run a Business without reading this book first!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Money-Smart Secrets for the Self-Employed (Home Office Computing Small Business Library) (Paperback)
This is the best, well-organized and well written resource I have seen on the subject of self-employment. The most important information regarding recordkeeping, taxes and cost savings are included in an easy to read format. I would recommend this book to anyone starting their own business or looking to increase profits in their existing home-business.

A primer and guide for the home-based business owner,

This review is from: Money-Smart Secrets for the Self-Employed (Home Office Computing Small Business Library) (Paperback)
Money-Smart Secrets is an thorough guide for both new and experienced small business owners. The book is particularly suited for home-based, small businesses, but the principals are applicable to any size business.The book provides concise business tips on budgeting, taxes, family vs. business balances, common sense, fee setting, and hiring. While none of the topics, fortunately, is covered exhaustively, the information provided is adequate for most people and serves as a good basis for discussing issues with a business advisor. The most enjoyble part of the book is the practical discussion of topics in plain English -- eg, basing spending decisions on after-tax dollars. The book is obviously written from the experiences of a business owner. The most important tip, emphasized many times, is taking vacations. This may sound like an odd tip for a money-smart (not to be equated with cheap) guide, but vacations are an extremely necessary part of running your own business. This type of practical advice lends credibility to the book. What I did not like: -- too much emphasis on home-based businesses -- some topics seemed to contain minor errors (computers and IRAs)
