Both writers have set up successful businesses independently while continuing to support their families and so write from personal experience as well as from a professional point of view.
The book itself covers 129 family friendly businesses but rather than “just” a list of ideas, it explores in detail, looking at everything from direct sales, to virtual assistants, offering advice on starting up, where to find more information on many aspects of setting up and running a business, from building a website to things to consider such as who your competitors are and how you will finance your business, and again how this affects your profits.
It really does encompass everything you need to know and more, and no review I can do, unless I do a page by page review, could give you an adequate list of the wealth of info and advice offered!
I was very pleased to see a section on you, the potential business owner! It helps you explore WHY you want to run your own business, what skills, interests and experience you have that you can draw on and so much more. With there being so many flexible options out there nowadays it is so important to choose the right one, and it has to be an individual choice, something you can enjoy, be excited about and care enough about to nurture through the early months and years.
Having been in the situation myself where I found myself as a new Mum, suddenly hit with the realisation that my previously hard-earned career place was now not at all what I wanted or my family needed, I have been faced with the “What now?!” panic and not knowing what to do or what options were available to me. What should have been a somewhat liberating and exciting experience was quite daunting. Where on earth was this book then!?! It would have been a godsend!
I can’t recommend this highly enough!!
