We’ve all had those moments of clarity when the idea for perfect home business which will transform our lives (and our finances) enters our mind. Give up the corporate rat race and be our own boss. Bliss.
Be it widget making, mosquito training or an online enterprise, Catriona MacLennan has come up with book which should be required reading for anyone in the grip of such potentially life changing moment.
Carefully going through necessary steps including writing business plan, dealing with staff, marketing, maintaining work-life balance and providing advice on legal and financial aspects, MacLennan explains the do’s and don’ts, must haves and the hard-learnt lessons for each.
She uses anecdotes from Kiwi success stories such as Meg McKenzie from Kidz Go New Zealand and Seeby Woodhouse of Orcon to drive the points home. Several of the country’s top entrepreneurs give their advice on establishing and running successful home business.
A refreshingly accessible read from an author who is lawyer and used to edit The Accountant’s Journal.
