2.0 out of 5 stars Chicken soup for the soul is better, April 10, 2000
By Mark S (Texas) - See all my reviews
This book is more about feel good stories of people who started a business and they liked what they were doing. If you liked Chicken Soup for the Soul, you will probably like this. I was looking for a book to give some ideas of what good businesses someone could do part-time and make some extra money. These stories covered various set up costs and barely gave an idea of what is needed. The book basically sums up to be: Find out what you like and make a plan. If you already figured that out, don't buy the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Way Too Vague to Be Beneficial, October 26, 2005
The profiles contained within this book are enjoyable reads, but the information is simply not comprehensive enough to be of real value.
For instance, a proofreader is profiled - she proofreads manuscripts for major publishing houses, including bestsellers. The odds of landing this type of work, unless you have an "in" (you used to be in publishing, for instance) are nearly impossible. While it's understandable that the author wants to sound optimistic, the simplicity of some of her advice is misleading.
Another woman profiled is an attorney, who obviously has the contacts from her working days that bring her work to do at home, as well as the ability to offer a service that is in demand. The average SAHM doesn't have a law degree, and can't just run out and get one.
The truth is, if you don't have work experience or a formidable skill that somehow make you in-demand, this book will do you no good. If you do have the experience or skill, then what you need is a book on marketing your services...simply posting flyers, as suggested in the book, is not going to lead you to 30,50, 80K a year!
If you just want to make money while you're home with your child, but have no real skills or experience, then try selling on ebay or having merchandise parties in your home. If it were so easy for people to make tens of thousands out of their homes every year, everybody would be doing it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very little info of what is needed to start a business, September 15, 2002
By Robert D. Bahe (United States) - See all my reviews
Very little info of what is needed to start a business. This book basically told stories of people who started a business and how they liked what they were doing. More on the lines of Chicken Soup for the Soul. The stories covered various set up costs but hardly gave any ideas of what is needed to start a business.
