 Will Work From Home January 6, 2009
I enjoyed reading this book. However I wish they would have included how to go about finding the right type of work that a person with no college education can do.
 Lotta hype December 27, 2008
You'll find a few good resources in the back of the book (nothing you couldn't find online youself), but everything in between is all "fluff".
 Great info if you are considering the work at home route. November 5, 2008

This book goes over several scenarios where you might want to work from home. It is written for women, however, the advice is applicable to men in many instances as well.
The authors cover how to transition your office job to a home office, looking for jobs that are designed to be done from home, starting a business of your own and direct sales from home.
They get you to take a honest look at yourself to determine if working at home is a good fit for you. This is so important, because as wonderful as working from home might sound, there really are some big considerations that you need to keep in mind to be successful.
The section that gives an overview on what you need to do to start up a new business venture (i.e., insurance, EIN, zoning, accounting, taxes, etc.) would be helpful to anyone who is new to the entrepreneur route.
I'd say this book is a great place to start from.

I found a ton of useful tips and resources in this book. It is very through and offers solid, doable and organized strategies. It is not for those who are looking for someone to show up at their door with a job to hand them. I've read a ton of job, career and work at home guides as this passion which I love to help others with. This book is by far one of the more solid current resources I've read.
Helped me get started! October 6, 2008

This book is full of information! I love watching Tory when she is on Good Morning America and couldn't wait for the book to come out. It really helped me think outside the box and get going! It is a must read! I started my own house cleaning business. It fits perfectly in my schedule so I can still homeschool my two teenage sons. I am my own boss and I love it. I would recommend it to everyone.
