Thanks ladies for sharing your hearts and your wisdom.

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!

So You Want to be a Work-At-Home Mom is truly a must-have for anyone looking to build a successful Home-Based Business. Jill and Diane cover many stones that are normally untouched while giving a Christian mother's perspective on how to effectively balance both worlds successfully and easily. They give you plenty of resources that will help you grow your business that would normally take years to gather on your own. Not only will this be a permanent part of my library, but I am going to suggest it to my entire team as well. Thank you Jill and Diane for taking the time to share your knowledge. Definitely looking forward to more books from you two!

This book is a must read for any women who wants to stay at home with her children but, feels pressure to contribute to the family finances. Jill and Diana examine spiritual and emotional reasons that draw women towards working at home. They use relevant scripture to support growing faith along with business. This book is overflowing with practical information, expert advice, free resources, and so much more. It is written in easy to understand language that makes you feel like Jill and Diana are sitting with you every step of the way. I highly recommend it to everyone who is even considering working from home.

I first met Jill Hart, co-author of So You Want to be a Work-at-Home Mom a couple of years ago. We were both attending a writers' conference and without ever having met me in person, Jill offered to pick me up at the airport. It is with that kind of generous spirit that Jill and Diana Ennen wrote their excellent guide to starting a home-based business.

Jill and Diana pull no punches. They tell you that you need to set your priorities in your home and your business. When they overlap, you will need to be prepared for the difficulties that arise. The authors encourage you to analyze your heart first. Have you prayed about becoming a CWAHM - Christian Work-at-Home Mom?

Then the practical questions. Are you self-reliant? Self-motivated? Self-disciplined? If so, this is the book for you.

Systematically, the authors guide you through the steps to being a successful CWAHM all the while keeping faith and family at the forefront. Charts, logs, and lists will help you stay on task, organized, and motivated. If you're a Christian mom thinking of setting up a home-based business, pick up this book and learn from two women who have successfully worked from their homes and generously help you learn to do it, too!

If you're been thinking about working from home, this is a must-have book. Anything and everything you need to know is included in the pages. There are chapters on setting up a business, marketing, client relations, and how to balance your job with family and friends. The authors also give personal examples from their own life that show the reader how they dealt with issues that came along.

There was so much great information in this book, I wish I'd picked it up sooner! So You Want to be a Work at Home Mom is the perfect place to start to gather information about how to start a home-based carreer, and it's a useful guide to those already working at home who could use some tips to make things work smoother. Highly recommended!

It is totally possible to start your own business as a stay-at-home mom, just read this book!

The authors give you a road map to getting your business started, identify the key elements you need to get it done, a checklist on how you to market your business and a ton of resources on how to keep it going.

The thing about running my your own business is that you have to be prepared to wear every hat; the worker, the marketer and the manager... in addition to that other job of running your household. Jill and Diane show you how it's possible, but they share with you how they did it!

Throughout the book, the authors share motivational support and spiritual advice in assisting you on your journey, which is truly inspiring. What I most enjoyed is that after all the years since starting my business, I found this book to be a valuable read even to a seasoned business owner.

In my opinion, you can't ever have too many business resources, this is one to add to your shelf!

I was genuinely impressed when I picked up "So You Want to be a Work-at-Home-Mom: A Christian's Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business." The book is written by Jill Hart (CWAHM) and Diana Ennen. It went through the basics, from the very beginning and was very comprehensive.
One of the nicest things, I thought, was that it included scripture passages and how they relate to being a work-at-home-mom. It was very insightful! I also enjoyed all the resources that the book provided. It listed various websites and other resources according to the chapter's topic.
Of course I was very interested in the chapter covering Marketing. Hart and Ennen did a great job of outlining the basics when it comes to marketing strategy, as well as giving some great, cost effective tips.
The book also got technical, which was appreciated. It covered business insurance, billing, taxes, trademarks and more. All of the elements covered are critical to first-time business owners. I highly recommend this book for any mom entrepreneur!
