Making Money from Home: How to Run a Successful Home-Based Business by Donna Partow



Anyone looking to start a home based business could gain some insight from this book. It is clear from the text that the target audience is Christian women, particularly mothers, who are looking to be self employed, but the information could be equally helpful to anyone looking to work from home. The advise and guidance offered by the author is both practical and insightful. From the smallest details of setting up a home office, to the more complicated aspects of creating a business plan, there is plenty of solid information to help the reader get started. Particularly valuable are the questions at the end of each chapter for self evaluation of what you learned and how well you applied each of the steps the author outlines. I found that the questions enabled me to go from a passive reader of the text to an active participant in my own success. The author also includes access to her web site which provides even more pertinent information and tips for building a thriving home-based business. While not an exhaustive resource for all topics home business related, this book is certainly a smart and time worthy place to start. (Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in return for an impartial review).
