2.0 out of 5 starsA riveting story, but actually DISCOURAGED me
By Kindle Customer on July 15, 2007
Format: Hardcover
I always thought the idea of owning a business would be great. I've dabbled on Ebay, with the whole intent being to stay at home and raise my kids while making money on the side. When I saw the title of this book it inspired me....maybe if I read it I could find some inspiration to start a business myself?
While the book itself is a good read (I didn't want to put it down!) I found the author's tenacity a bit scary. The product itself has limited potential....like a previous poster said, it's a fad product. Once everyone owns one, your income potential has pretty much dried up. The author fought really hard to make her business succeed by begging and borrowing, often at great personal risk. She often sacrificed time spent with family in her quest to make her business succeed. This to me represents the biggest conflict in her quest....the title "Mommy Millionaires" implies that this is something a Mommy can do "in her spare time" or when she isn't caring for her children. When in fact after reading this book I am more apt to believe the author traded in her time with her children FOR the business.....she even speaks about missing her children's birthday parties because she was too busy trying to promote her business.
I give this book 2 stars because it is a good read....but it misses its mark as an inspiration for other "mompreneurs". There are plenty of families out there who can successfully manage family and business. Moms shouldn't have to choose!

2.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely disgusted
By Patti M, MO on July 19, 2008
Format: Paperback
As a female small business owner, I was excited to find this book. Not long into the book, my excitement was gone but I finished it anyway. Lavine calls herself a business woman, but she recounts on more than one occasion how she used her cleavage and the practice of unbuttoning an extra button on her blouse to her advantage when dealing with men -- to get financing, etc. I certainly don't consider that very businesslike! Also, she claims to be going through all this nonsense -- most of which is a result of her own lack of business sense, yet she is giving advice!? -- for her two sons. Yet she is rarely with them, and when she is she (by her own account) parks them in front of the television with a video game, despite the fact that one son may have a form of autism, which is only worsened by playing video games. Lavine repeatedly praises herself -- using words like "great" -- and she seems to think she knows more than anyone else. Yet she really makes so many mistakes that it's hard to understand how anyone could ever want to emulate her. By the way, I did my own search on her product and some of her claims, and many cannot be substantiated. She's big on claims and short on any proof or documentation. I would not recommend this book; she does not share anything I hadn't read elsewhere in much better organized books.

3.0 out of 5 starsA novel masquarading as a business book which left me with no warm and fuzzy feeling.
By Jeff Lippincott on October 26, 2007
Format: Hardcover
This book was just OK. That's a 3-star on Amazon's scale. When I read a book that I plan to write a book review on I generally look at it as a teacher would when grading a paper. I consider the content of the book. I consider whether title informs me of what the book is going to be about. I ask if the material is presented in an orderly manner so the content can be easily digested. And I ask myself if the book was special in some way.

In my humble opinion this book had lots of content. That content arguably makes it a business book. However, the title of the book did not inform me of what the book was about. And I did not find the material to be presented in an orderly manner. And I did not find the book to be special in some way. Maybe if the author had made me feel for her I might have had a different opinion. But I didn't like her after reading this book. I had no warm and fuzzy feeling for her.

This book is a story about Kim Lavine who not too long ago was a housewife with two young sons and a husband who was recently unemployed. She had developed a "heating pad" product that she had been giving away as gifts prior to her husband losing his job. In order to generate income for the family she decided to go into business selling her "heating pad" product. In this book she explains her journey of making money by selling it. She had ups and she had downs. And it was an interesting story. But if I wanted to read a story, then I would have pulled a novel from my library's shelf. This book did not read like a business book; it read like a novel. And I was exhausted by the time I got to the end because I kept looking for the business book in it and never found it. Probably the fact that I was exhausted when I finished the book is a big reason this book only gets 3 stars from me.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsnonsense
By ang on November 4, 2009
Format: Paperback
I had high hopes in the beginning of this book, but this woman's story became quite ridiculous as it went on. She was NOT a mommy millionaire at all. She was a workaholic with a very average product who was willing to put in eighty hours a week promoting and marketing while her laid off husband took over the role of being mommy. By the end of the story her efforts were quite unbelievable really far fetched. I would think this book would make anyone think twice about going into business for them self. If it weren't for her husband being laid off, her family would have been destroyed. Very misleading. One of the worst stories I've ever read.
