Selected Reader Comments about the last edition of HOMEMADE MONEY
"I have just read your fifth edition twice in a row, and since I hate to highlight a book, I stick Post–Its on the edges of pages with pertinent information. My book is so full it looks like a chicken hit by a semi! Your book isn't only for home-based start-ups; it is a remarkable manual for almost any business." - Janet Burgess, Amazon Drygoods, Davenport, IA “I just finished Homemade Money, and I'm so excited and full of ideas that I can barely sit still long enough to write you this letter. Thank you for all the insights, ideas, inspirations, and resources contained in your book. With Homemade Money as a catalyst, I'm reinventing my career.” – David T. Eastman, Productive Solutions, Bloomington, IN "I've read a dozen self–employment books and found yours to be the most enjoyable to read and the most informative. I'm a former lawyer, so that's high praise indeed. The anecdotes from your readers were particularly helpful.” – Kelly James–Enger, Morris, IL "Homemade Money has been a great inspiration and ongoing resource for me. I have recommended it to over 400 former students and clients and plan to continue to do so as my crafts marketing business grows. I teach workshops in developing business and marketing skills and strategies and provide consultation services for individuals and groups. My students and clients include novices working from their homes as well as experienced professionals with thriving businesses. There is something in Homemade Money for each of them.” – Miriam Works, Bellevue, WA "I am enjoying your book immensely and, for the first time, feel as though I'm getting a handle on the business aspects of my creative work. From banking to bookkeeping, managing time to marketing, I was lost in the same sea as many artists and craftspersons. Not only am I organizing my office, but actually planning strategies. The clear and thorough information in Homemade Money has cleared away the confusion unlike any other books I have read on this subject. It's even fun to read!” – Laura Bethmann, Nature Prints, Tuckerton,NJ “Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. So often I think back over entries in Homemade Money that encouraged me to make an assessment of my skills and interests and then take a risk—go for it! I've referred many upstart businesses to your book with confidence it will do for them what it did for me . . . if they believe in themselves and their dreams.” – Judy Helmold, Charts & Letters, Atlanta, GA “I read your book in one sitting as I couldn't put it down! Congratulations on an exceptional, motivational book. The discussion of hourly rates and overhead will be used in establishing my fees schedule.” – John H. LeBlanc, LeBlanc Financial Services, Boston, MA “Most of the books I've read on business are filled with generalities, while yours is filled with specifics. The book is so handy, I literally leave it out on a desk in my office to refer to. I am recommending Homemade Money to all my colleagues on the Word Processing & Desktop Publishing forum on America Online.” – Robin Vaccai Yess, Center for Financial Wellness, Inc. "Thank you for writing Homemade Money. It really helped me in the start up of my home based business, Transcriptions Unlimited. I was able to talk to bankers, city and county officials and even family members, and know what I needed to get to become a business. My family is full of entrepreneurs so I needed to be prepared. Your book made me realize how little I knew although I had been around it my whole life.” – Donna Buchanan, Creswell, OR “An absolute gem!!! Anyone interested either in starting their own small business from home (or otherwise) or making their existing business more profitable, more rewarding, and more fun, won't go wrong armed with your fantastic book. The resource directory alone is worth at least ten times the price of the whole book.” – Gary Pajor, TimeLine Publ. Group, Inc., Colchester, CT “The new edition is stunning! A masterpiece! The depth and breadth of the text will never be equaled ever. I shall recommend it to everyone I meet.” – Tana Fletcher, Brookeville, MD "Homemade
Money is wonderful: inspirational, practical, factual and very
hard to put down.” – Wendy
