The Self-Employment Bible

Having been a victim of corporate downsizing, making the leap into starting my own business was made easier through this no-nonsense, highly practical and strongly inspirational book, written by Gladys Edmunds. It can be a scary proposition, moving into self-employment after a 20-year career inside corporations, but reading not only about Gladys' own story but the scores of real-life examples of others she describes, proves that it can be done. I have gone back to her book time and time again for insight and inspiration, and I have yet to be disappointed.

Uplifting, motivational, and very inspirational

This book was excellent, it not only kept you interested with Edmunds funny anecdotes, it was so informative. This book is a must have for anyone who owns a business and it is also great for people who have a full time job and need to find some insight on staying sane and balancing your life. This book may be geared toward entrepreneaurs and future entrepreneurs; however I think it is great for anyone who needs to maintain balance in a workworld. Great book, it will change your life.
