- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm so glad I grabbed this book. I was thrown by the title and wasn't sure it would apply to me and my circumstances, but boy, was I wrong! It's so full of good tips and inspiring examples of how to create a business (and family) life you love. This was the audio version, but it's a great reference to have in print on your shelf as well. Great book!
