Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

More women than men start new businesses annually, since women enjoy the flexibility and ease of child care that working at home provides. Huff, a business journalist and author (Home-Based Business Ideas for Women, Pilot, 1993), enumerates 101 business opportunities to women found in traditional areas. Each listing includes information on start-up costs and financing sources, pricing guidelines, marketing methods, equipment, necessary education/training or experience, income potential, and information sources. Huff begins the book with short sections on selecting a business, developing a business plan, and understanding franchises and distributorship. While this title is informative, numerous recent books are available on this topic, from Lionel Fisher's On Your Own (LJ 1/95) to Daryl Allen's 1101 Businesses You Can Start from Home (Wiley, 1995). A marginal purchase for those public libraries with an adequate collection in this area.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is quite worthless, March 2, 2000

By	A. Petrotchenkov (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Priscilla Y. Huff gives you practical advice on how to work from home and take care of your family. But if you were a degreed professional prior to being a mom, this is not the book for you. But according to the book, you should pursue a home business in candlemaking or crafts. But this is the 2000's, not the 1950's, Priscilla! Many of young professionals are educated in far different arenas than were portrayed here! And I also agree with a reader from Illinois: If you already have the credentials to run your own home health agency, you don't need this book to suggest it. And if you don't this suggestion is worthless.

Take my advice, ladies, do not buy this book. There are a lot of the generic home-based business books; with the careers outlined in them, you might actually have the opportunity to make a great home business.

5.0 out of 5 stars A FANTASTIC reference for "stay at home moms", January 6, 1999

By A Customer

I purchased this book a few months back at one of the lowest points in my life. I had just chosen to put in my resignation at a major corporation, Not because of the job itself, but because of continuing increase in childcare expenses. Like many parents who both work, unless you are fortunate enough to have family or friends who watch your children at little or no fee and at the drop of a hat, the stress level of childcare is ever increasing. This book has been an answer to my prayers. There are far more than 101 jobs based at home because of the additional business ideas listed after each entry. Many women will be amazed at what skills they have and never thought it could produce work. My only suggestion of caution is to read ALL of the book carefully, to include some of the drawbacks. Most women with a family to help support may be ready to jump at the chance for a new business. I was. And after careful consideration, my husband and I have chosen to start our own business using our computer. There is a need in our area, and the computer we spent so much money on for sheer hobby is now producing a second income. Is it making us a million? Of course not. But is it legitimate, honest, legal, and productive? You bet it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book has some of the most ludicrous suggestions and inflated earning potentials of any book of its kind. If you quarter the earning potential and figure working 16 hour days, sometimes 7 days a week, you might have an idea what it would take to make a living using most of these suggestions. Just one example should suffice--run a home health agency from your home with a potential income of $100,000+ a year and the first "helpful tip" is to check licensing laws in your area. If you already have the credentials to run your own home health agency, you don't need this book to suggest it. If you don't this suggestion is worthless. And to make $100,000+--it would take years of 80-hour weeks and scads of employees to reach that income level. Most of the suggestions are this ridiculous. Many are meant to give stay-at-home mommies something to do while the kids are napping that will provide enough income to take the family to McDonalds and a movie once in a while. They're not meant to be careers or to provide adequate income while caring for a family. The ones that could turn into careers take huge outlays of time and often money. If you're aware of that (and this book won't mention it) and you've got the energy, stamina and desire, you can find far better books on starting your own business than this piece of fluff.
