Momprenuer from...- a good starting point

This is s a good starting point for new moms considering going into home based business. As you develop your business, you'll likely need more specific information, but Mompreneurs will give you a broad range of information to help you get started. I read this book almost three years ago while nursing my first child. I've been in business for two years at ... and occassionally refer back to the book for reminders.

The book that was my inspiration! :)

This book was truly my inspiration for getting off my ... and starting my own public relations/event planning company. I had just graduated from college with a degree in Communications/PR and was working as a marketer when I realized I wanted to be the one deciding what to do with my life. I also couldn't bear only seeing my children for an hour before they went to bed.I picked this book up on a whim in the bookstore. After reading a tiny part, I knew I had to have it. Just a few months later I have my own business, and am working on my first paying project. This book showed me how to do it, and gave me the inspiration and support I needed.

Confidence booster!

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!

Excellent reference

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.
