So You Want to Be a Work-At-Home Mom: A Christian’s Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business
I first met Jill Hart, co-author of So You Want to be a Work-at-Home Mom a couple of years ago. We were both attending a writers’ conference and without ever having met me in person, Jill offered to pick me up at the airport. It is with that kind of generous spirit that Jill and Diana Ennen wrote their excellent guide to starting a home-based business.
Jill and Diana pull no punches. They tell you that you need to set your priorities in your home and your business. When they overlap, you will need to be prepared for the difficulties that arise. The authors encourage you to analyze your heart first. Have you prayed about becoming a CWAHM – Christian Work-at-Home Mom?
Then the practical questions. Are you self-reliant? Self-motivated? Self-disciplined? If so, this is the book for you.
Systematically, the authors guide you through the steps to being a successful CWAHM all the while keeping faith and family at the forefront. Charts, logs, and lists will help you stay on task, organized, and motivated. If you’re a Christian mom thinking of setting up a home-based business, pick up this book and learn from two women who have successfully worked from their homes and generously help you learn to do it, too!

It is totally possible to start your own business as a stay-at-home mom, just read this book!
The authors give you a road map to getting your business started, identify the key elements you need to get it done, a checklist on how you to market your business and a ton of resources on how to keep it going.
The thing about running my your own business is that you have to be prepared to wear every hat; the worker, the marketer and the manager… in addition to that other job of running your household. Jill and Diane show you how it’s possible, but they share with you how they did it!
Throughout the book, the authors share motivational support and spiritual advice in assisting you on your journey, which is truly inspiring. What I most enjoyed is that after all the years since starting my business, I found this book to be a valuable read even to a seasoned business owner.
In my opinion, you can’t ever have too many business resources, this is one to add to your shelf!

I was genuinely impressed when I picked up “So You Want to be a Work-at-Home-Mom: A Christian’s Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business.” The book is written by Jill Hart (CWAHM) and Diana Ennen. It went through the basics, from the very beginning and was very comprehensive.
One of the nicest things, I thought, was that it included scripture passages and how they relate to being a work-at-home-mom. It was very insightful! I also enjoyed all the resources that the book provided. It listed various websites and other resources according to the chapter’s topic.
Of course I was very interested in the chapter covering Marketing. Hart and Ennen did a great job of outlining the basics when it comes to marketing strategy, as well as giving some great, cost effective tips.
The book also got technical, which was appreciated. It covered business insurance, billing, taxes, trademarks and more. All of the elements covered are critical to first-time business owners. I highly recommend this book for any mom entrepreneur!

What a neat and useful tool this book is. Many different audiences can benefit from parts of this text for instance if you are like me considering the idea of a home-based business or for others who have already taken the leap. Authors Jill Hart and Diana Ennen kindly and with great tips guide the reader into specifics of what will be needed from a person to run a business from home, various types of businesses. All throughout they focus on faith and family first and talk about the difficulties but the benefits if you are successful. I am entirely grateful that I read this one as it gave me several ideas to file. After much prayer and consideration this is one that I’ll come back to, to read some of the chapters with more deliberation and goal focus. I highly recommend this.
