Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
So you have young children or a baby on the way and you think it would be great to work at home. Well, picture this: key reports livened up with crayon, loud shrieks during client calls, and no way to leave the office at day's end. If you envision yourself sailing over these hurdles and think you have a talent that can help you make money while still in your sweats, Mompreneurs is for you. It is packed with good tips on writing a business plan, getting a loan, setting fees, creating office space, and finding the right mix of child care. The guide includes inspiring tales of mothers whose businesses are now household names. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist
Many articles and books have been devoted to the art of home-based business. And some publications even include a few paragraphs or one chapter about the special situation of work-at-home moms. Valuable tips and advice, however, have been missing. To plug the hole, freelance writers Parlapiano and Cobe quite literally cover the complete home front, from figuring out job requirements to planning business growth. Need hints about discouraging kids from telephone interruptions? Confused about child care options and possible expenses? Want to identify a workable schedule that considers children's and husband's time? Almost every conceivable question has been anticipated and answered, buttressed by online statistics (what other moms do), individual success stories, and the "mompreneur Hall of Fame" (e.g, Sheryl Leach, creator of the ubiquitous purple dinosaur). Barbara Jacobs --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, September 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mompreneurs (Paperback)
This book is the best I have read so far about mothers having a homebased business. It includes ideas about getting started, examples of mothers who have succeeded, and everything else which involves mothers and their business, such as balancing their careertime and their familytime and childcare...Excellent as a permanent part of your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confidence booster!, August 29, 2000
This review is from: Mompreneurs (Paperback)
If you are scared or shy about starting your own business and working from home then you MUST read this book. 0ne of the best things about this book are the stories about other mothers, real people you can identify with, who have been successful at working from home. This is a wonderful resource to get you started and answers a lot of basic questions you have about the process. If you don't already have some line of work picked out then you can get great ideas here! I feel that both my business and my family have benefited from this book as there is a lot of information on how to balance the two. You will probably refer to this book over and over again. The $11.70 to buy this book is definitly a great investment!
