Books
Title: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Home Business
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press/1999
Genre: Business
Spiegel lists here 200 “hot” work ideas, which he divides into four categories: professional, nonprofessional, opportunities (defined as a business start-up package to buy), and franchises. Each “launch it yourself” entry features a description, start-up needs, customers, typical charges, earnings potential, and tips for getting started; other category entries simply list the vitals and fees needed–though the author claims these have the best track records. To be used in tandem with more detailed home-business information. Barbara Jacobs, Booklist.
