 inspiring and funAug 07, 2009
It was fun to read how other women have been successful in their businesses, however, when it came to specific advice, it stayed fairly vague. They did have some hints that could be further researched online. Lots of colored photographs.
All in all: fun and inspiring.

 Great book!Feb 02, 2009
I really enjoyed this book. It is exactly what it states--good advice for crafting your own business. Lots of inspirational stories from women who have turned their passion into their business. The stories are short so it is easy to pick up whenever you have a minute. Beautiful pictures and great stories. I love it!

Good AdviceNov 17, 2008
I love this book. It offers practical advice and inspiration for those considering starting a craft business. It beats those cut and dry starting a business books.
The photography is inviting, and print easy to read. I recommend it to those who like reading feature articles in magazines about successful entrepreurs.
