A great book with a positive message for moms!

Lane's book sends a wonderful message to moms-- whether youwork outside the home and wish you could spend more time with yourkids, or you stay at home with your kids full time and sometimes find yourself longing for some adult interaction and extra income, after reading her book you will definitely feel like you have options! The author is obviously a proponent for women, mothers, and children, and after you read the book, you will have the same "Just do it!" attitude that she exudes throughout the book. In addition to learning more about yourself and how to best use your own talents to earn extra income, you will also get some great parenting tips and suggestions for how to raise brighter, happier children. I would highly recommend this book to any mom who has ever thought, "There must be a better way." Read the book! Just do it!!!

Sincere words of wisdom for the 90's!

It's amazing how Lane Nemeth writes what all of us have felt. How frustrating it can be to work away from your children, how difficult it is to discover our own dreams, and yet how wonderful it can be to find a way to work everything out and be there 100% for your family. Her "Learning Moments" clearly state some incredibly valuable tips for all parents, stay-at-home and corporate exec. Her upbeat, optimistic view of entreprenurial challenges force one to think about why they haven't followed their own dreams and made them reality. She offers common sense advice that comes from her experience in building a multi-million dollar company and can apply to any business situation! I could not put it down and will never enter a business situation with the same attitude. A MUST-READ!!! Thank You, Lane, for sharing your knowledge! (Discovery Toys are the best educational products I have ever found for my children!)

This is an easy to read and enjoyable trip into working.

This was an enjoyabe read and fast paced. In a very light style I was able to gain insight and knowledge on how one woman made it in a man's world. She also was human and sincere enough to share her ups and downs with us. Not quite a Danielle Steele journey, this book lets you know what you might have to give up and what you might gain by working part time, full time and balancing a family. I enjoyed the humor and the personal feelings of what it takes to keep an idea and a dream in place. Not everyone can do this and you certainly have to know yourself. I applaud Lane Nemeth for letting us into her triumphs and letting us share her low moments. It is a very personnal look at a woman's desire to create a business and have a family.

A book this informative and sincere is hard to put down!

Lane shares her story of how she struggled to develop a company who could offer educational toys that parents could purchase, and not just institutions. Her struggle began during a time when women were not suppose to be in business because it was a male dominated field. Her story is so heartwarming and filled with obstacles she had to overcome just to get her business going. Lane was determined to spend time at home with her daughter and husband, as a family, as well as earn an income with her business. This book is an inspiration to anyone who wants to start their own business, or has been in business for a while. It is also a helpful and instructional tool for being a working parent!!

Excellent Book! Perfect for the 90's woman with kids!!!!

I felt like Lane Nemeth was talking to me. Women of the 90's feel like they must work, yet our children are getting CHEATED! I love her easy to relate to approach and her clear writing style. A MUST READ FOR ALL PARENTS! Rush out and read this for a life changing book experience.
