4.0 out of 5 stars Good, October 23, 2001
By A Customer
This book is easy to read, and gives a lot of good information. It has helped me to be more organized as I work on starting my business, and gives a breakdown of pricing, and even making a workspace. Its handy, and will be a good book to refer to often.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on business. Makes sense., May 22, 1999
By A Customer
You can do what you love and make money. You can work on purpose and get the life you want. You can work at home, be a wife, be a mom and make money. Running a business at home is the same as running the business of a big company. If you think, look and act like a business, people will pay you what you are worth. If you believe in what you are doing, others will believe in you too. This book shows you the way to navigate a home-based business, managing a family, and make money. You can create the life you want, I did! Kathleen
