"Let's Make Money, Honey" Featured on About.com
A story on About.com, one of the Internet's leading informational websites, features the new book, Let's Make Money, Honey: The Couple's Guide to Starting a Service Business. "Starting a Business as a Couple" discusses how the book's married boomer co-authors started a service business together.
In the story, Melissa Phipps, retirement planning expert, writes, “The authors…provide a detailed overview of what any couple should consider before and when starting a service business of their own. From writing a business plan, considering funding options or franchising, business structure and operations, to managing growth, narrowing your client base and creating an exit strategy. It's all told through their highly interesting story of exactly what it took to start-up and grow, then sell their own business.
“This mix of information and specific personal detail involved in getting a business off the ground as a couple makes Let's Make Money, Honey a compelling and useful read. And the authors are frank about the fact that not everyone will have it so easy, not all couples will be able to work together. At the end of the book, the authors provide a business compatibility test, skills inventory checklist and service business start-up checklist to help readers decide if they are as ready to follow a similar path.”
