Indispensible.

This is THE Bible for us crafters going pro. Cover to cover packed with very valuable information and inspiration. My dreams and courage of developing a successful business jump up a notch everytime I reread this book. Love love love this one!!! The Best of the Best books for resource and inspiration!

Good Advice

I love this book. It offers practical advice and inspiration for those considering starting a craft business. It beats those cut and dry starting a business books. The photography is inviting, and print easy to read. I recommend it to those who like reading feature articles in magazines about successful entrepreurs.

Profile format works well

This is a cut-to-the chase approach that profiles a cross-section of successful businesswomen crafters. Before you start setting up any kind of business, you'd better make sure your idea is unique and marketable. Sit down with Fitzgerald's book for a few hours, and you'll see what these women did to stand out and succeed in a very competitive business environment. I particularly liked that each profile is in that woman's own words. If I'm going to make my dream of starting a business a reality, I sure need to hear from those who stepped off the crafting cliff before me! I really liked this book.
