5.0 out of 5 stars Jenny Scott, 13 Dec 2006

By	J. J. Scott "Jenny Scott" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the best things about this book is what it isn't. It's not smug or patronising and it doesn't leave anything out. It also does something quite unusual - it gently, but firmly, nudges you into making a decision about starting your own business. If, like me, it's something you've dreamt of for ages, but never quite had the nerve to do, then this book is perfect. By the end of it you'll either have decided entrepreneurship is not for you or, more likely, it'll give you the confidence to go for it without looking back. Practical and inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive and very practical, 9 Nov 2006

By	C. Newnes-Smith (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is extremely comprehensive and very practical, covering all aspects of running a business.

Importantly, it challenges the myth that money is the primary motivation for everyone, citing a wide variety of reasons that women choose to set up their own business.

It covers aspects that I haven't seen in other business books such as the practicalities of juggling childcare, etc. Also, it has an excellent section on making the decision whether you want to set up your own business, helping you to explore whether it is a good decision for you.

I like the examples of real women in business given throughout the book, it shows that this book is heavily grounded in reality not just management theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars good stuff, 24 Nov 2006

By	Diana "Diana" (UK) - See all my reviews

This is a very practical upbeat book. As well as providing a robust practical checklist for women setting up in business, it addresses psychological challenges associated with striking out. I found the examples from women who have set up their own businesses inspiring and they made the book very digestible. There are also useful resources at the back.
