5.0 out of 5 stars Unlike any other resource, February 23, 2006
By 
Lynn (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service 2nd Edition (Spiral-bound)
I was very leary about spending the 89 dollars for this book but the other reviews hooked me. I am so glad they did, because this book is so helpful. I have read many, many books to teach you this or help you get started at that, and they are usually so general and vaque that they don't really offer much in terms of real world applications. With this book, you could get started tomorrow (assuming you know bookkeeping, of course). It is honest and chock full of really great ideas and advice. I can't believe she is sharing this with all of us- it feels like talking to a good friend who is willing to tell you all the advantages and pitfalls of her line of work. It is not written as an inspirational book but it ends up being one because it really makes it clear that this dream of owning your own business and being successful can become a reality- at least if you follow the great advice in this book. Buy it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't have had the courage without this book!!, August 18, 2007
This review is from: How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service 2nd Edition (Spiral-bound)
I have owned this book for almost a year now. I was looking for a new, preferably stay at home, work for myself career and I had worked in bookkeeping before. I began to brush up on my bookkeeping skills and I found this book online. I have the e-book from Julie's website. I read it all in about 2 days and got inspired. Now things are really beginning to happen for me. I completed the 2007 QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program certification about 1 week ago. I would not have had a clue about this program if it hadn't been for Julie's book. You get over $1000 worth of software and benefits for under %500 and once you complete their program you get listed on their website and get your own free website, plus many other benefits.
That being said, I am now also beginning to get referrals from clients and working with a local CPA (as recommended in the book). I have checked out many of the links and resources Julie recommended and found them invaluable. I currently choose to work out of the home only 3 days/week, and I don't have to ask anybody's permission to do this - it's my choice.
I have also purchased Julie's other 2 books on QB and budgeting and when I get a chance to read them and review them I will. But my current success has sort of limited my time at the moment. I have written Julie a few times by email and she has always responded, not with an auto reply, but a real genuine and helpful answers. Can't say enough good things about that.
Oh, and for you stay at home moms who are wondering if this is for you - I got involved because I was burned out on my current job and I wanted more time at home with my twin tots and family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Experienced yet surprised, October 25, 2005
By 
Chelsea Sheeran "Chelsea" (Atlantic City New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service 2nd Edition (Spiral-bound)
I hesitantly purchase this book, because I thought I knew it all.
I'm a college graduate, worked in the accounting field for 27 years for various businesses. I really didn't expect much. Boy was I wrong! This book is filled with lots of gems, from how to get business, to ready to use business forms. Julie even provides you with good sample sales letters and phone scripts! I was especially encouraged to hear it only took her 6 months to become 100% self employed.

It's one thing to start your own business, it's another thing to be successful.

Julie gives you all the help you will need!
I would highly recommend this book!
