Driving up 95N to Massachusetts to my niece’s 4th birthday party, I read Sixteen Weeks to Your Dream Business: A Weekly Planner for Entrepreneurial Women by Nada Jones & Michelle Briody.
After reading the first five chapters, I turned to my husband, Scott, and said, “This book would have saved my business if I’d read it four years ago.” The chapters on personal finances, budgeting and bookkeeping alone would have literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars. And had I not been in so much debt, maybe I wouldn’t have been at the mercy of Summer Infant when I had to sell 2 Virtues.
Sixteen Weeks to Your Dream Business is an incredible, step-by-step book for any woman or mom thinking about starting her own business. But I think it’s also perfect for any woman or mom who already has her own business.
SWTYDB’s week-by-week chapters read like a blueprint for success. It is filled with inspiring stories of women entrepreneurs and even has tips “Just for Moms” that help mom entrepreneurs build their dream business while being considerate of their “day job” as moms. SWTYDB is loaded with forms, worksheets and folders to help you with your planning and organization. This indispensible book covers marketing, advertising, networking, public relations, online business, budgeting, business plans, funding, management, charity, references, resources and so much more.
I cannot say enough about this book–it is an absolute MUST READ for any Mogul Mom.
