5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource for a newbie!!! January 25, 2012

By FosteRevolution Kathy

Format:Paperback

Recently, it became clear to me that I needed to start a new phase in my life. I had a dream, and although it definitely had meaning and purpose, I lacked the knowledge and skills to "make it all come together".
Enter- "So You Want to Be a Work-At-Home Mom", and it's co-author Jill Hart.I have met Jill, and definitely was interested in her book after meeting with her! I have dog-eared pages, highlighted, reviewed, and prayed over this book. There are so many practical tips to promoting my business (a toughy for me), time management, keeping focused... so many issues and leads to getting further information as well.
I will be keeping this book as a reference, and when I get discouraged or lose my way, I will reconnect with it like an old friend.
DEFINITELY recommend!
