Nicely written, easy to follow.May 25, 2009
By Bitsy R. Griffin
I picked up the The Work-at-Home Success Bible by Leslie Truex because one of the things that has been rolling around in my brain is how to take one (or more than one) of the Jack of All Trades things that I do and turn it into a salable commodity.
There are four parts to the book:
1. Living and Working at Home
2. Telecommuting
3. Home Business
4. The Business of Running a Business
An Appendix of helps is also included.
This too was a very readable book. The living and working at home wasn't especially helpful to me since I've got that experience in my past - those were short term assignments though, so if I decide to try to make a go at this, I may well have to revisit that section. She also includes forms (and links) to help anyone make this decision with enough information.
In the Telecommuting section, Leslie gives advice on how to find and apply for telecommuting jobs. Again, you have to have an idea of what you are good at. She also stresses that it's much easier to change a current job into a telecommuting job than it is to go out and find one.
In the Home Business section, Leslie talks about the variety of upstarts - including starting from scratch and lists quite a few business that any woman may have in her arsenal. This is the section I spent more time in weighing the options. Not done with that yet.
The last section gives advice on legalities, marketing, communication, etc. All the stuff to make the business tick after making the decision to start it.
She also lists her web site (Work-at-Home Success) multiple times, and says she has forms to use there, but I haven't looked closely enough to find them yet.

Things I hadn't thought of. . .Mar 11, 2009
By J. Golis
I wish I'd had this book when I first started working at home. I particularly appreciated the Home Sweet Home Office chapter and the tips on establishing a work routine. Good practical advice that has helped me figure out how to make better use of my time.

 Very BasicMay 02, 2009
By PB
"Sunshine Girl"
This book is an easy read, but it's very basic. Not a lot of advanced information. It's good to get you thinking, but if you've already got something going, this may not help you advance.

Nothing left to buy!Mar 26, 2009
By Stephanie Fish

Leslie's book is the only 'how to' book you'll need for 2009! I've been in business for over 5 years and still learned something new while reading this easy-to-read, professionally written book.
Good job Leslie!
