It is packed with good tips on writing a business plan, getting a loan, setting fees, creating office space, and finding the right mix of child care.

From Booklist

Many articles and books have been devoted to the art of home-based business. And some publications even include a few paragraphs or one chapter about the special situation of work-at-home moms. Valuable tips and advice, however, have been missing. To plug the hole, freelance writers Parlapiano and Cobe quite literally cover the complete home front, from figuring out job requirements to planning business growth. Need hints about discouraging kids from telephone interruptions? Confused about child care options and possible expenses? Want to identify a workable schedule that considers children’s and husband’s time? Almost every conceivable question has been anticipated and answered, buttressed by online statistics (what other moms do), individual success stories, and the “mompreneur Hall of Fame” (e.g, Sheryl Leach, creator of the ubiquitous purple dinosaur).
