Clear and Simple Advice

I am one of the EPs interviewed in this book and was wondering how it would *really* turn out. I'm so impressed. I wish it had been out when I first started. The advice and inspiration are of the highest quality. I've bought copies for all of my friends who ever said 'Gee, I'd like to do what you do.' Now you can too.

It really can work!

Working at home can really work. I would have loved to have had this book (this manual) while I was starting my own business. Hello, my name is Jodie Lynn, and I am a nationally syndicated parenting/family columnist. Even for a seasoned work-at-home-parent, it still has tons of great tips for me to utilize. In fact, right off the bat I have picked up tips for my website, www.ParentToParent.com and how to help it to grow quicker and faster, not to mention how to get better organized in my own stories and columns. Wow - finally, a book that has all of the answers and experiences in one shot. It's a keeper as so many other work-at-home parents share their great wisdom and day to day activities! Thanks to Paul and Sarah Edwards and to Lisa M. Roberts. With the combined team effort - this book is truly amazing.

It's the truth..and nothing but..

As one of the profiled EP companies in this great collaboration, we're learning more from reading about other EP's than we knew about ourselves. Patrick Michaels HarmonyNet Media Group http://www.harmonynetradio.com
