Will Work from Home, by Tory Johnson and Robyn Freedman Spizman
This book is written by women for women.
Tory Johnson is the founder and CEO of Women for Hire. Robyn Freedman Spizman is a well known consumer advocate.
The book’s premise is that very few can afford not to work at all, but women need more flex time for children and aging parents, among other things.
The book teaches you how to:
• Take your current position home
• Find a new company whose policies will allow you to work from home
• Research a product you believe in, and sell it from home
• Start your own business, doing something you love, for a minimal initial investment
The book includes real-life stories, a step-by-step plan to get started, resource guides, and lists of scams to avoid.
This is a terrific book. It’s brand new, so it is up-to-date, and has many pages of helpful web sites, contacts, action steps and time savings tips, as well as various business models to consider throughout the book.
The authors bring up many options for you to think over in planning your move to working at home.
There are various contacts for helping you continue to do the same job, just at home, or branching out into something totally new—doing computer tech support or accounting for others, doing a daycare or catering business, or doing a direct sales business, to name a few. Service businesses are growing in demand, and there are enough resources in the book to help you get started doing research into your niche.
The book touches on accounting, billing, advertising, marketing, and is helpful—both general enough to help you think outside the box, and specific enough to help you think through your situation—regarding what would really work for you.
