5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, powerful tools to build your home-based Business!, March 19, 2003

By	Coach Phil "Author of over 500 articles at ww... (Eugene, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Love My Life: A Mom's Guide to Working from Home (Paperback)

We've heard about the shift to entrepreneurship for years, and millions of us have tried everything from home-based consulting to real-estate, to MLM and a thousand other plans, and the missing link has always been a practical, step-by-step guide to actually making money. Ms Tamsevicius fills this vital need with elegance, enthusiasm, and practical savvy that is unbeatable! And, the book is literate, funny, and readable!

From her own examples of dealing with sick kids, managing time (laundry and dinner and diapers still need to be handled) to her secrets for getting free publicity and finding experts to help her, this book is a gem. The author's use of examples, check-lists and concrete solutions sets it apart from the fluff and "inspirational" books that sound wonderful, but don't get the job done on a rainy Thursday. I found dozens of things to implement immediately (most at no cost) that make my office far more efficient, and my business more profitable.

Ms Tamsevicius' style is quick and light, with a touch of humor that makes her work believable and easy-to-read. Her suggestions are practical and will make a real difference in your home-based or small business. For hurried business owners, or first-time entrepreneurs who must control over-head, manage their time, and get results, this book is a must. Very, very highly recommended! Get it, read it, use it as a manual for small business success.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, January 20, 2004

By A Customer

It is complete and so full of great advice. From start to end it has awesome information especially if you are just starting a business or even for thinking of making the change from home to office. I bought it because a friend told me about it. It is very scary for me to make this change. Kristie makes it easy and kind of leads you step by step. I was especially happy to see that right on the front cover is a great quote and endorsement from author of Mommy-CEO, Jodie Lynn. Put the two books together and you have answers about how, why, what and when in regard to working from home and Mrs. Lynn's book offers how to handle the little darlings underfoot. That's a big deal. While her parenting tips cover tons of things on family challenges, Mrs. Tamsevicius tells us how to get on the ball and make a new life for ourselves. They are fantastic together and have helped me get my ideas onto paper and kids under control so I can follow through with my personal goals. YIPPEE - now I'm moving ahead and getting things done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Excellent!, December 10, 2003

By	Kelly "kelly-lcce" (Kennesaw, GA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I started this book fully prepared to dislike it - I've read many others on this topic and ALL of them have recommended extensive child care for the kids, have supported long hours away from the children, and have been generally negative about how children 'get in the way' of your business. I see working at home under those kinds of guidelines as no better than working outside the home - and maybe worse. However, this book was very, VERY forthright in its intention - promoting work at home so that one can spend more time doing what is most important - with spending time with family at the top of the list. The author makes it clear that a work at home parent needs to set limits on how much time they work and that they need to remember that their families are their first priority and their whole reason for going this route. She offers excellent tips on how to be a good, present and interactive parent while managing a very successful WAH business. I was truly impressed.

This aspect aside, this book is an amazing collection of facts and data and experience - it is VERY complete and thorough on the topic of putting together and running a home business. She includes a massive number of resources. I feel this is the only book a mother who wanted to WAH would need to get started and do well.
