Format:Paperback
This book is easy to read, and gives a lot of good information. It has helped me to be more organized as I work on starting my business, and gives a breakdown of pricing, and even making a workspace. Its handy, and will be a good book to refer to often.

You can do what you love and make money. You can work on purpose and get the life you want. You can work at home, be a wife, be a mom and make money. Running a business at home is the same as running the business of a big company. If you think, look and act like a business, people will pay you what you are worth. If you believe in what you are doing, others will believe in you too. This book shows you the way to navigate a home-based business, managing a family, and make money. You can create the life you want, I did! Kathleen
