You can conduct a fulfilling career and have a personal life at the same time, if you work at home.

In their hysterically funny way, the authors bring to light any snare you can imagine (and some you'd never think of!) while starting a home business or venturing into the world of telecommuting. And if they make it sound just a little too breezy, you'll find that out as you proceed. So whether you're just toying with the idea of reducing your commute time to less than 60 seconds or your business has already taken over your home, we recommend picking up this quick read and spending some time with two funny ladies who know first hand how to make a home-based business work.

professional advice

Mazny years ago the famed author Dr. Alvin Toefler predicted that more of us would be working from our homes. That projection came true leaving a space for advice as to how to do it. The authors Kathy Levinson and Erica Orloff not only provide a solution but valuable advice about issues we may not have considered. This book is tastefully and professionally crafted. Following my reading of the book I found that refering to this text is like going to a seasoned business professional for direction and cousel.
