Summary: We need more people like Liz out there.
Review: I have to say that this book has excellent advice for all moms, including those with college educations. I personally have a degree with a double major in math and computer science, and I worked as an engineer for over 10 years (away from home.) I found the advice in Liz's book very helpful. I have since chosen to pursue a different career for my home-based business, but I also know many engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. who are working at home ... many of these professional women were also interviewed in Liz's book. Whether you wish to bring your current career home or make some changes, if you want to work at home, the advice in this book will help you.

Summary: A great resource for new moms and moms-to-be
Review: If you are undecided about whether or not you will continue to work outside the home after your baby is born, you are not alone. Having a baby oftentimes changes the way career-minded women choose to earn a living. You may find that a three-month or so maternity leave just isn't enough time to spend one-on-one with your newborn. If you're thinking of trying your hand at an at-home business, you're in good company. Author Liz Folger reports in this book that 16 million women in North America are earning money at home today, and the number is growing. Folger, a stay-at-home mom raising two daughters, runs a successful home-based business consulting service for women and hosts two on-line chat rooms on the subject. In the guide, Folger discusses finding a business you love, planning and budgeting your time, avoiding get-rich-quick scams and other costly mistakes, tapping into the Internet's vast resources and opportunities... and all the while keeping yourself and your family healthy and happy. Additionally, Folger profiles 29 other successful women who work at home with children.

Summary: A must read for mothers who want to earn money from home
Review: The Stay-At-Home Mom's Guide to Making Money is a great resource for mothers who desire to make money at home. Liz Folger effectively addresses the unique needs of stay-at-home mothers and their ability to run home businesses. This book highlights the reality of working at home, warns of potential home business scams and lays out the basic elements necessary for moms to earn money from home. Moms will be especially enlightened by the individual interviews with home-working mothers, which illustrate how they started, their earning potential and their recommendations for other moms.

Summary: Hi!
Review: This book is more about feel good stories of people who started a business and they liked what they were doing. If you liked Chicken Soup for the Soul, you will probably like this. I was looking for a book to give some ideas of what good businesses someone could do part-time and make some extra money. These stories covered various set up costs and barely gave an idea of what is needed. The book basically sums up to be: Find out what you like and make a plan. If you already figured that out, don't buy the book.

Summary: Ready To Start My Business
Review: Very little info of what is needed to start a business. This book basically told stories of people who started a business and how they liked what they were doing. More on the lines of Chicken Soup for the Soul. The stories covered various set up costs but hardly gave any ideas of what is needed to start a business.
