Happy Friday! Today is the Business Book Club discussion day, and today we’ll be discussing the first two trimesters of “Corporate Mom Drop Outs” by Lucinda Cross.

This book is not your typical business book; the bulk of it is stories from real life mompreneurs which makes for a unique and understanding perspective.

So let’s get the discussion rolling…

Question 1: Which mompreneur’s story best resonates with you and why?

Question 2: Was there any advice that was given that you disagreed with?

Question 3: On page 23 Nancy Marmolejo of Viva Visibility says, “Often times women scrimp, save and think we’re doing well for ourselves in the long run by not spending, but we don’t understand the difference between spending and investing. Understanding what the difference is: is this an expense or is this an investment”? First do you agree with this statement, and secondly how has this proved relevant in your life? more

Happy Friday! Today is the final Business Book Club discussion for Kim Lavine’s, “The Mommy Manifesto”. One thing I have to say about this book is that I love Kim’s honesty and vulnerability- she really has a way of motivating and inspiring women! Once again I had so many yellow highlighted areas in my book that it was difficult to formulate just a few questions.

With that said I’m so excited to get the discussion rolling and hear your thoughts about the book!

Question 1: In chapter 6 Kim says, “In the world of social networking, a “friend” has a whole different meaning than in the real world, and some people collect friends just to demonstrate popularity” (page 118) – what are your thoughts?

Question 2: In chapter 7 Kim says, that confidence is the X factor and that you should fake it until you make it (page 138) – do you agree? more

Happy Friday! Today is the Business Book Club discussion day, and today we’ll be discussing the first five chapters of, “The Mommy Manifesto”, by Kim Lavine.  I have to tell you that I absolutely LOVE this book – it really has me fired up! I have so many yellow highlighted areas in my book that it was difficult to formulate just a few questions!

With that said I’m so excited to get the discussion rolling and hear your thoughts about the book!

Question 1: In chapter one Kim says, “It’s the ordinary mom’s ability to use new communication tools to shape and influence opinion that is historic, and radical, and transforming”. How do you see technology helping women to create their own destiny?

Question 2: In chapter two, Kim talks about sexism being the last acceptable form of bigotry. Why do you think people tolerate sexism?

Question 3: In chapter four, Kim suggests that entrepreneurialism is a viral condition, and all you need to do is hang around other entrepreneurial minded people and it will rub off on you. Do you agree with this theory? more

For me going to the book store is like a kid being in a candy shop, I get all giddy and excited, and I just can’t decide what books I should purchase. And because my daughter loves attending story time and playing with Thomas the Train we head to out to our local book store A LOT (plus they serve Starbucks which is a nice treat for me).

Last time I was at our local book store, I picked up a couple of books, one being Michelle Goodman’s The Anti 9 to 5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube. Which I thought would be perfect for this month’s book review since so many people are making resolutions and goals for the New Year.

So listen up! If you’ve needed some help getting your rear into gear so that you can have your dream career, Michelle has you covered!

Michelle escaped from Corporate America 18 years ago to become a freelance writer. Knowing in her heart that “quality of life trumps all else” she took the “leap before you look” approach to launching her own freelance writing business. Fumbling and scraping by the first few years Michelle learned some valuable lessons and insight that she shares within the pages of this book. more

Every month I read and review a new business or career related book for women. I love to read and thought it would be fun to start a monthly book club, and from the response that I received when I asked people if they were interested in a book club, it appears you all like to read too!

Book clubs can be an excellent way to stimulate your brain, encourage you to read more, and introduce you to new books and people that you would not have been acquainted with before.

So here it is, welcome to The Work at Home Woman’s Business Book Club! more
