Summary: Ideas Only - No Information
Comment: If you are trying to brainstorm for ideas on what TYPE of home-based business to start, then this is A book for you.(Only the first of many you will need to research....)
However, most potential entreprenuers already know what type of business they want, based on personal experience, interests, level of education, etc. This book is in no way helpful for those who fall into this category, because there is so little information on how to start up that business.
Each chapter is a brief overview of a type of home-based business. There were only two chapters that drew my eye, again based on personal experience and interest. After reading that I could be a home-based bookkeeper or a home-based interior decorator (information I already knew), I put the book away forever. A waste of time and money.
This is NOT a detailed informative reference for actual start-up, and as such is not very helpful. "Everything you need to know about getting started on the road to success" will be found in other books.

Summary: A Good First Step
Comment: I conduct workshops based on my book "Capitalizing On Being Woman Owned" and in almost every class 30% of the attendees are in the first stages of starting a business or even just thinking about it. This book would be a good exploratory resource for them. Ms. Huff provides practical information for many micro-businesses. Part of the book is a "how-to" with explanations for making critical decisions. It is a great first exposure to starting a business and provides resources that will give the details. It's probably not for the woman who wants to build an international corporation. But it is for the woman who wants to start a small business that suits her personality and situation.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a book for the 21st century
Comment: I think that Ms Huff should rethink her strategies here.
This book is okay but does not really deal with the realities of the 21st century.
If you're looking for a book that faces the realities and challenges of today then you should read Untapped Wealth Discovered by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison. This book shows you how to find those businesses that can survive and prosper in our economy. It's a book that pays special attentions to the needs and goals of women.
