Customer Reviews:
Not what I was looking for..........2007-08-05
I read this book looking for ideas to help supplement by regular income by doing something from home. This was NOT the book for me. Most of the suggestions were totally useless for me and required a lot of skills/education that I don't have and would have to obtain before I started. For example, two of the suggestions are Accountant and Lawyer (!). This would better have been titled as "Careers That Allow You To Work At Home If You Want To." Also, as a side note, the projected earnings about Medical Transcriptionist was WAY overinflated...I am doing that currently, and my mother owns her own business and makes really good money, but not the $40-$60 an hour stated in the book. That's outrageous!
200 Best Home Businesses My Review.......2007-02-06
I loved this book, granted you could really think of many of these ideas yourself, but truly not everyone is savvy on the internet to research. Finding a home based business is a tough task, you may want to read and re-read many of the ideas that spark an interest with you! If you do not like dogs, don't be a pet sitter. Take notes at every opportunity.
Home Business Review.......2007-01-19
I enjoyed looking at the various options, however some "home Business'" were really not logical. However even, this book does stimulate the mind, and gets you thinking about what talents you have that you could put to use as a home business.
200 Best Home Businesses by Jones.......2006-08-18
The author mentions many different alternatives for supplementing
income. These alternatives include review of utility bills for
large entities. The rendering of expert advice is another potential
business. The author mentions concert promotion, consulting
engineering, eBook Publishing, freelance writing, graphic design,
rare book dealerships and seminar services. This acquisition would
help anyone seeking to supplement their current income. It could
be useful for retirees and others on a fixed income.
A very refreshing book.......2006-07-07
I picked up this book not knowing what to expect and I was very surprised to find a new type of approach.
The author has done a wonderful at holding my attention and I highly recommend it.
I'd also like to recommend that you read Untapped Wealth Discovered. This too is a very smart and refreshing book and the authors have packed lots of vital info into their book.
Both of these books are well priced, very affordable and great motivators for both the interested and serious reader.

Customer Reviews:
extremely disappointing.......2001-08-31
Waste of money to buy. Most of businesses are for professionals whom I doubt would need to buy this "self-help" type book. More information is readily available on the web than this book even chips away at. Go to the library or use the internet.
Designed more around professionals wanting to work at home........1999-07-21
Slightly dissappointing. I thought it would give more of an insight to "simpler" jobs at home rather than professionals wanting to work at home - which is what a large majority of what the book covered. The book also covered ideas that would work better in larger cities and areas. For the items that were listed, the descriptions on some were vague, others went into great detail.
Great.......1999-06-19

Disappointing!.......1999-06-15
This is a very simple book listing possible business ventures. If you want a book to explain in detail how to set up a home based business, this is not the book for you.
Book Description
How does a company constantly win more business than its rivals? A key factor is the ability to create proposals that outshine those from even the strongest competitors. Powerful Proposals helps businesses maximize the selling power of their proposals, with proven strategies for going beyond "this is what we do" documents in favor of customer-centered offers that highlight the tangible benefits your company offers. This powerful process offers tools and techniques that will let any firm:* assess their "winner or loser" proposal status and take proactive steps to become a winner* address the "Big Four" questions that a proposal must answer to be successful* create "A+" proposals in less time with less wasted effort via a simple, repeatable process* neutralize the issue of price when the firm is not the low-price providerPowerful Proposals takes readers step by step through designing executive summaries, writing themes, and generating the text. There is also valuable information on strategy, graphics, callouts, and other visual elements.
Customer Reviews:
Highly Recommended!.......2005-04-26
Writing a response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) may seem just like any other writing project, unless you know how technical and demanding the process can be. Successful proposals require a deliberate focused effort, especially when winning or losing a bid can mean corporate success or financial doom. Authors David G. Pugh and Terry R. Bacon do a solid job of presenting the challenges and processes involved in drafting winning proposals. They explain what happens before and after a proposal is submitted and even provide excerpts from winning proposals, timetables, review questions and team task assignments. The material is so solid that you'll wish for more war stories, but that omission does not detract from this valuable book. We highly recommend it and find it very useful for people and teams who want to write proposals that bring home the Bacon (and Pugh).

Customer Reviews:
Excellent resource!.......2007-10-03
This book was a required text for my Careers class in college, but I've found it to be a useful reference tool even now that I've graduated. It's really easy to read and give lots of great tips like how to write your resume, draft cover letters, succeed at interviews, even how to negotiate your salary. Plus, I love all the examples in the book. It's very helpful to see actual resumes and cover letters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is entering the job market, whether he/she is a student just graduating or someone looking for a career change.
Get this book if you want to get a job.......2006-06-22
This book was required in one of my college career classes. I'm really glad it was. I learned more from this book than I would have from experience alone. This book is filled with all sorts of advice and facts about what employers are looking for and how to nail a job interview.
If you are looking for a job, or think you might be in the near future, this book is a must have. Any edge you can get on the other applicants is extremely important and this book will teach you how.
Essential tool.......2001-02-11
I found this book to be an essential tool when job hunting. It is clear and concise. It has essential guidelines for every aspect of looking for the right job. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Book Description
Achieving Your Financial Potential demonstrates clearly how to gain control of finances through practical step-by-step instructions that are rooted in the Scriptures.
Though the Bible doesn't give advice on what the best mutual fund is, or how to play the stock market, Kays shows how it does contain the principles that, if properly applied, can lead to financial independence.
Highlighting passages from the Old and New Testaments, and presenting them together with graphs, easy-to-use worksheets, case studies involving real people, and helpful summaries of key points, Kays explains how to set goals, make budgets, pay off debts, reduce expenses, invest systematically, analyze insurance needs, plan for education, and minimize estate taxes.
Written for busy people who do not have time to read several books to acquire the financial information they need,
Achieving Your Financial Potential is a book readers will find immediately valuable, and one they will wonder how they ever did without.

Financial Truths ... A True Guide To Personal Finance.......2000-11-23
In this little gem of a tome on the hazards and opportunities of Personal Finance, Schutz has done an outstanding job of penetrating the maze of investment intracacies!
Based on extensive personal experience in the Insurance Field and later as a Financial Planner, Schutz has given the experienced and the neophyte investor a "Summa" which can provide for a lifetime of sound ROI.
Though not a Contrarian, Schultz leaves the well trodden path of pure Equity and provides a broad foundation of cash-amassing Insurance, Debt Cancellation, Be-Your-Own-Banker, and Asset Allocation.
And all in an easily readable, compact, case-history supported book.
This reviewer has over 45 years of investment experience and has tried these principles. He just wishes he had access to the book at the beginning of his investment career rather than during retirement. However, the past few years of application have resulted in providing a much sounder and more profitable financial situation.
Do not miss "Financial Truths For The 21st Century", just the "Seven Secrets" are worth the modest price of admission!
REQUIRED READING FOR THE 21ST-CENTURY CEO.......2000-10-23
Ronald P. Schutz is a 34-year veteran of the "financial trenches," and author of Financial Truths for the 21st Century - Survive the Hype & Heist With Your Wallet Intact (Smart Press, 2000). Schutz leads a new breed of financial advisors with cutting-edge and unique strategies to money management, and his book delivers a new set of rules for today's investor. Ron Schutz has helped thousands of investors achieve financial independence by teaching them how to have more financial savvy and become their own investment counselors and bankers. At the urging of many of his clients, Schutz decided to share his secrets with the rest of the world and release his lively and comprehensive book. The book is witty, entertaining, and often irreverent, and his no-nonsense advice has made him both popular and controversial. His audiences are truly enlightened by his wisdom and unconventional advice.
Invaluable advice for the entrepreneur & business owner........2000-09-07
In Financial Truths For The 21st Century, financial advisor Ronald Schutz show how to build wealth that will not be eroded by taxes or decimated by a "down" market; play a comfortable and secure retirement; ensure genuine financial security for loved ones (even after you're gone); become independent from the high interest rates and minimal returns of bank loans and financial instruments. For the small business owner and entrepreneur, Schutz's provides invaluable advice , including a "must-read" chapter on employee stock plans. Financial Truths For The 21st Century should be required reading for anyone seeking to brave the complex and often hazard riddled road to economic security and financial planning success in today's competitive, exploitative, and occasionally deceitful marketplace.
A financial guide that sorts the grain from the chaff.......2000-06-20
With bookstores chock full of the same old recycled rhetoric regarding investment & retirement advice, it was refreshing to discover Ron Schutz's new book. I am a small business owner, and had thought that my investmnet portfolio and 401K plan were the ideal program for my finances and retirement, but after reading this revealing investment guide, I discover many no-nonsense strategies to crosscheck the commissioned pro's, and even become my own banker and investment counselor. Schutz's book is straight forward, easy to understand and very welcome for anyone who, like me, considers themself a wise, investment savy entrepreneur with all the right stuff. Boy was I off base! I highly recommend this revealing and thought-provoking guide to anyone who wants to sort through the hype and confusing financial propaganda that is spoon fed to us on a daily basis. From one enterpreneur to another - Kudos Mr. Schutz!
