Homemade Money: Starting Smart! How to Turn Your Talents, Experience, and Know-How into a Profitable Homebased Business That's Perfect for You! by Barbara Brabec Reviewed by Cindy Thomas Publisher: M Evans and Company (August 2003) ISBN: 0871319985 There is no better way to explain this book than to say it contains a wealth of information for the beginner starting out or thinking about starting their own home business. The first of a two book set (the second being Homemade Money: Bringing in the Bucks!), this book is indeed an ‘A-Z Crash Course’ in business basics. Author Barbara Brabec, a leader in home business for over 30 years, shows you what to do to begin working from your home. You’ll find that this book is loaded with helpful ideas on choosing the right home business, keeping records, handling the stress (it’ll come!), doing business on the web, pricing, managing your time and the family, and more. Brabec gives many examples so that you won’t be left wondering what she’s talking about. The second section of the book is devoted to the ‘business’ side, such as laws and regulations, which home business owners should know. She covers everything from zoning laws to taxes to copyright laws. This is a great resource for those who want to work full time from home but were not sure where or how or even when to start. After reading this book, you’ll be ready to begin your own home business. Homemade Money: Starting Smart! Is a wonderful reference tool even after you’ve taken the plunge. After reading this book, you’ll want to get the second book to this set by Barbara, Homemade Money: Bringing in the Bucks! You can get your copy of both of these informative books here.
