A Resource for Real Life!

This is a powerful book. I use it daily as a resource. I recently attended the author's "Start Your Own Part-Time Business" workshop, with the intention of opening my own business. I am now further along that path, and everything we did in the workshop helped me get to where I am now. I keep going back to Karen's book and I use the workshop materials all of the time.
