 Fun, informative read! April 15, 2008

I had this book for nearly a year, it was highly recommended by a friend but I thought the subject of business might bore me so I did not start reading it until two days ago. I was very pleasantly surprised that the book turned out to be a combination of how-to and memoir; the author's journey bringing her start-up business all the way to the big league actually makes for an exciting story. The author gives an honest account of her triumphs and failures, and she also shares plenty of resources, outlining step-by-step and explaining business terms/concepts. It is a very well-written story with plenty of human elements and useful real-world business-related information. I could not stop turning each page and finished reading the hardcover front to end in two days. It's definitely been a fun, informative read!
 There's not much Mommy in this book March 30, 2008

After skimming and skipping through the first few chapters, I happened upon the story of how she left her two year old toddler in a car to go to a meeting with a lawyer. My stomach just turned. I could read no further, even if there was more great advice. I don't want advice from a woman who sacrificed not only her two year olds' safety for her own goal, but also sacrificed so much family time for it as well. Should other mothers really be taking advice from a woman like this??? I only gave it 2 stars because she does include very good business advice, but I would have rather given it -5 for the "motherlyness" of it!
Excellent book!!! February 10, 2008

This book was very informative and cut straight to the point from the beginning. It was not boring at all like other business books that's kinda like blah, you skip through it and put it down, which is what I normally do. Being a single mom I was instantly gravitated towards the cover and as soon as I started to read the book I was drown in. She talks about trade shows,qvc,consignment sells, and more. I highly recommend this book. I feel really confident about going into business now. This book is strong enough for a man but made for a women.
Full of resources and useful tips applicable to anyone starting a business December 15, 2007

I checked this book out of the library. I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and already I've found it so useful that today I bought a copy at Borders. I will now have to go back to flag and highlight the countless resources and tips offered in the portion of the book I already read. This book lays out in a direct, step-by-step format everything you need to do to establish your product in the marketplace. It is filled with personal anecdotes that point out pitfalls to avoid along the way. Although I am not a mother, I still find the book extremely useful -- it's like having a personal coach or mentor as I seek to become an entrepreneur. Kim Lavine makes me believe that if she can do it, so can I.
 A novel masquarading as a business book which left me with no warm and fuzzy feeling. October 27, 2007

This book was just OK. That's a 3-star on Amazon's scale. When I read a book that I plan to write a book review on I generally look at it as a teacher would when grading a paper. I consider the content of the book. I consider whether title informs me of what the book is going to be about. I ask if the material is presented in an orderly manner so the content can be easily digested. And I ask myself if the book was special in some way.
In my humble opinion this book had lots of content. That content arguably makes it a business book. However, the title of the book did not inform me of what the book was about. And I did not find the material to be presented in an orderly manner. And I did not find the book to be special in some way. Maybe if the author had made me feel for her I might have had a different opinion. But I didn't like her after reading this book. I had no warm and fuzzy feeling for her.
This book is a story about Kim Lavine who not too long ago was a housewife with two young sons and a husband who was recently unemployed. She had developed a "heating pad" product that she had been giving away as gifts prior to her husband losing his job. In order to generate income for the family she decided to go into business selling her "heating pad" product. In this book she explains her journey of making money by selling it. She had ups and she had downs. And it was an interesting story. But if I wanted to read a story, then I would have pulled a novel from my library's shelf. This book did not read like a business book; it read like a novel. And I was exhausted by the time I got to the end because I kept looking for the business book in it and never found it. Probably the fact that I was exhausted when I finished the book is a big reason this book only gets 3 stars from me. This book was not special in some way. It was a drain.
The cover of this book includes the following line: "The ultimate step-by-step guide to building a business while keeping your family your number 1 job." I assume the author did keep her family as her number 1 job. So I won't question that clause in the statement. However, the story in this book is not a step-by-step guide. It is merely a chronology of events that took place as the author built her business. She did it the wrong way. And ways that are wrong should generally not be used as guides. Part of the reason I was so tired when I finished this book is because I knew she was doing things all wrong. And some of her advice is really out in left field. Business plans are not easy to put together. And they are not as simple as just answering a series of questions. And businesses should not be thrown together under pressure and then reorganized later (if they can be). And you should not milk people for valuable information and then go do it yourself for free. You can get some free info this way, but ultimately you will get burned by scam artists the way the author did.
The cover of this book includes the following line: "How I turned my kitchen table idea into a million dollars and how you can, too?" Although the author's invention or product was made using corn, I wouldn't exactly call it a kitchen table idea. And the author's way of building her business was so convoluted that I hope nobody tries to build a business in a similar way after reading this book. If you want some books that will help you achieve what the author did, then I recommend you consider reading Invent Yourself Rich (ISBN: 1594160503) and Brownie Points (ISBN: 1932841261). I've read them both and have written book reviews for them on Amazon. 3 stars!
