Book Reviews of Minding Her Own Business, 4E
Book Review: Not Just For the Ladies
Summary: 5 Stars
The hardest thing about dealing with business recordkeeping for someone not trained as an accountant is to visualize how the records are supposed to look - and how the numbers fit together. Jan Zobel lays it all out for you.
I love all the samples of spreadsheets and worksheets that show you how your bookkeeping entries fit together. She's also filled the book with these campy Q&A boxes. You can see important questions at a glance.
Jan speaks from experience, working with her own client base for decades. So, the cases and situations she brings up are realistic - either from her own client files, or from the people who come to her workshops in California and Hawaii....(C&H - how sweet...just like the sugar?)
And guys, trust me - this book isn't just for the ladies. If you're in business and want great, sensible information, Minding Her Own Business is well worth your while! It's especially helpful if you don't want to use computers. Jan explains how to keep your records on paper, too.
I've been recommending Jan's books to my readers for years. All the feedback has always been excellent.

Book Review: Good Stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book easy to read and understand. Each of the topics were described in just enough detail - enough to give you the essentials needed to keep your books, yet not so much that you got lost in irrelevant details. Sure to be referenced for couple of years.
The book covers setting up a receipts sheet and a disbursement schedule. "Minding Her Own Business" is written mainly for sole proprietors. The book is much like a "Small-Time Operator" for women.

Book Review: For women who are "foreign" to business
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very good GENERAL overview of going into business. It is not for women (or men) who are familiar with business. For example, having an MBA, I was hoping for this book to go into more depth on many of the topics. It briefly discusses different business entities, but does not offer any help on how to go about setting up your business entity. It does discuss business expenses (not in very much detail), which was helpful.
It is good if you consider yourself "clueless" when it comes to running your own business and need some general help. You may be disappointed if you have already have some businesss knowledge.

Now in an updated fourth edition, Minding Her Own Business is a guide to taxes and financial records written especially for self-employed women, but highly recommended for entrepreneurs everywhere regardless of gender.

Book Review: really a good book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book last week and spent 5 days to finish reading it. It provides almost all of the tax info i need to know for my business. The examples in every chapter illustrate concepts clearly and boost my understanding indeed.
The book was written in such a way that wont make you fell asleep during your reading.maybe it is just coz i get motivated when i found myself followed the writer's points.
So..i really recommend this book.Minding Her Own Business, 4E
