Product Description
Review
"...full of encouragement and information to help you through all the stages of setting up your own home-based business." (<i>www.sixtyplussurfers.co.uk</i>, June 2005)
Book Description
You quit? That's it -- time to turn that American daydream into your day job. Home-Based Business For Dummies takes you from the hammer-and-nails of legally and financially establishing your business to putting that shingle on the door to your home office. With top-selling books and a radio show among them, the authors offer their years as career, consulting, and self-employment experts in this book.
When you're your own boss, a few of the new experiences you can expect are managing taxes, health insurance, and cash flow until revenues are generated. Home-Based Business For Dummies puts you ahead in each area. High on the list of high-tech and high-touch ways to launch your business are building a Web site and making the most of contacts and referrals. You can also benefit from these top tens: ten myths about the solo entrepreneur, ten ways to stay motivated, ten freewheeling freelancing tools, and more than ten dos and donts.
Maybe you walk poodles and then give them a perm. Maybe you're the kind that takes your massage table with you. Whatever you love, there's a way to make it your home business and keep it turning a profit.

Not bad for a beginner,
By Reds Fan (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home-Based Business For Dummies (Paperback)
If you're completely clueless to running your own home-based business, this is a great beginner (hence the title "for Dummies"). I found the book to work best when you already have an idea for your business. As with similar books, it's great to have a general idea of what type of business you'd like to pursue before reading the book; it will help you better shape your idea.The book did spend a lot of time talking about how to deal with family problems, creating a quiet workspace, setting work hours and how to get through a project when you have no desire. While some people might find this beneficial, it read like "filler" to me. All in all, though, it's worth checking out.

Another must read small business book!,
By Bonnie Jo Davis "Loves to read and review books!" (Southern CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Home-Based Business For Dummies (Paperback)
I love the books by Paul and Sarah Edwards. They were talking about small, home based businesses before anyone else and their books are thorough to say the least. This one covers everything from the legal to the financial aspects about starting and running a small home-based business.
