• Real Life Wahms
15 February, 2006
When I first wanted to work at home, I remember finding Liz's website Bizymoms. The first edition of her book hadn't yet been published (1998) but already she had a list of viable home business ideas with real-life stories to back them up. For me, reading about real moms who had found a way to work-at-home was a huge help. It brought the theory from "how to" books into the real world. Liz offers other great tips but for me the real life stories and ideas were the most valuable part of the book. Now I know working at home does happen...I've been a wahm since 1998!

• This Is The One Book That Will Really Help
19 April, 2007
This book is great. I am a new mom that has been looking for a way to stay home and bring in some income at the same time. This book told me everything I needed to know. From a guide on how to start a business to managing your family and home. There are also many different profiles of moms who have their own business. How they got started, what they needed, how much money they make and how they manage their business and kids. This book was worth every penny.

• Way Too Vague To Be Beneficial
27 October, 2005
The profiles contained within this book are enjoyable reads, but the information is simply not comprehensive enough to be of real value.
For instance, a proofreader is profiled - she proofreads manuscripts for major publishing houses, including bestsellers. The odds of landing this type of work, unless you have an "in" (you used to be in publishing, for instance) are nearly impossible. While it's understandable that the author wants to sound optimistic, the simplicity of some of her advice is misleading.
Another woman profiled is an attorney, who obviously has the contacts from her working days that bring her work to do at home, as well as the ability to offer a service that is in demand. The average SAHM doesn't have a law degree, and can't just run out and get one.
The truth is, if you don't have work experience or a formidable skill that somehow make you in-demand, this book will do you no good. If you do have the experience or skill, then what you need is a book on marketing your services...simply posting flyers, as suggested in the book, is not going to lead you to 30,50, 80K a year!
If you just want to make money while you're home with your child, but have no real skills or experience, then try selling on ebay or having merchandise parties in your home. If it were so easy for people to make tens of thousands out of their homes every year, everybody would be doing it.
