2.0 out of 5 stars No secrets in Millionaire moms book, August 7, 2008

By 

v. Carrousel "wanabee writer" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secrets of Millionaire Moms: Learn How They Turned Great Ideas Into Booming Businesses (Paperback)

This is a book that reveals nothing special. A few stories of mom's/woman who launched a business and became successful. All this is good however for a light Sunday read as no where do they reveal the 'secrets' as you are invited to discover when you read the title of Tamara's book. Her first book was excellent and gave a lot more useful information. I was looking for that piece of 'secret information' that would give me the 'ah ha' moment of why didnt I think of that or 'wow' smart thinking 99... but none of that was revealed. Lot's of rah rah from these woman encouraging you to follow your dream and again this is nice if that's what you need. But if your a serious mom/woman looking for some real assistance and insider tips to help you on your path to independance.... keep looking and save your hard earned cash for smarter purchases.

This review is from: Secrets of Millionaire Moms: Learn How They Turned Great Ideas Into Booming Businesses (Paperback)

This book is loaded with useful information.

While looking for a book that would just give me answers and tell me step-by-step what to do, I found much more than that in the pages of this book. The author explores feelings and relationships behind the business plan that prompted me to deal with more than the surface aspects of running your own business.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a self-help book - it just realistically explores common things women do and feel while running a business and it all rang true with me.

I appreciated all the examples of all the women in the book and learning about what steps they took on the pathway to success. It's both inspiring and encouraging to know that against all odds, it can be done and has been done many times.

I read the book with a stack of post-it notes because Mrs. Monosoff covers so much ground it made my mind alive with ideas that I had to write as they came to me.

Thank you for putting together such a helpful book for those of us that are trying to figure it all out in the business world and be moms too. Best of luck to other mom entrepreneurs.

I really got so much out of this book. Chock full of helpful websites and useful information if you are considering starting your own business. Tamara also uses about 12-15 millionare moms stories such as Julie Clark (Baby Einstein) and Lillian Vernon. I highly recommend.
