5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Info and Inspiring, August 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Women's Home-Based Business Book of Answers (Paperback)

The women interviewed from the book came from a range of different backgrounds from small mom and pop type shops to women who've built multi-million dollar businesses. The variety in types of business and backgrounds of the women in the book show that with hard work and motivation anyone can be successful at starting their own company.

This book certainly has given me some inspiration to go out and start my own business instead of staying in the corporate rat race. I'd recommend this book to anyone thinking of starting a business or looking for some inspiration to pursue their passion.

This review is from: The Women's Home-Based Business Book of Answers (Paperback)

Being a small business owner who has worked out of the home for 3
+ years, I found this book to be very helpful in content and readability. The author asks questions of women business owners and the answers are frank and very informative. It is refreshing to get insight into other womens lives and the demands of their particular business/family arrangements. I felt the author shared alot of useful websites and references to help woman business owners, or women considering their own business opportunities. The mix of women interviewed is great from CPA's to Virtual Assistance. This book was very informative and a great resource for business ideas.

This review is from: The Women's Home-Based Business Book of Answers (Paperback)

I reviewed over 12 business books and picked this one! I think women/Mother have different sets of motivations, concerns, and dilemmas than men. This book really talks about the approach that are much more familiar or relating to me as women/mother. There are a lot of good business books are out there, but this book helped me to focus and to make decisions, becuase it addresses my questions in a much more personal ways than other books did. The writer also list various people's answers which can be pros or cons of certain aspect of starting business. It gives you a good understanding of how it's like to run business while you are taking a role of a super mom or wife!
