Hi All,

Thought I'd start a topic on what books or resources we might have read or used that have helped us and we'd like to share with others....

I borrowed The Beauty of Business - A Complete Guide for women in Direct Selling by Cindi Kaplan-Freiman from the library and I'm reading it for a second time!!  It's fantastic and I just have to share with you all.  Has anyone else read it?  What did you think? 

Here's a quick rundown:

Title: The Beauty of Business: A Complete Guide for Women in Direct Selling, 3rd Edition

Author: Kaplan-Freiman, Cyndi

What do you need to know about starting your own business? How can you become financially independent? What is the secret to balancing children and a successful career? How can you enjoy the flexibility of working when and where you want? How can you develop your self-esteem through your career choice?

In The Beauty of Business, Cyndi Kaplan-Freiman seeks to inspire, encourage and motivate women to become financially independent through a career in the direct selling industry. You will develop sales strategies and time management skills and be inspired by the personal experiences of successful Australian businesswomen. The Beauty of Business is about having the courage to be your own boss.

Cyndi Kaplan-Freiman has successfully set up four different businesses over the past twenty years and is the author of the best-selling There's a Lipstick in My Briefcase. She is one of Australia's leading women motivational speakers and has published (and self-published) widely on business and self-development issues for Australian women.

If you haven't read it I highly recommend it!  I will definately be looking to buy this one!!  Very easy to read and very motivating!!  So much great material in it!

So what other books or resources have you come accross that has helped you?

...also.. someone may like to start some threads in this forum on some of those topics you mentioned:

    • What do you need to know about starting your own business?
    • How can you become financially independent?
    • What is the secret to balancing children and a successful career?
    • How can you enjoy the flexibility of working when and where you want?
    • How can you develop your self-esteem through your career choice?
    • Lots of other topics!

There is so much collective experience here! I am sure everyone has something to contribute.

We hope this site can evolve into a 'huge' free resource accessable to everyone (with internet connection anyway  ).
