Amazon: If there's one thing harder than starting a business, it's starting a business and maintaining a stable family life. Azriela Jaffe has traveled that difficult route, and by combining her own experiences with those of 130 other couples, she has assembled the definitive guide to achieving success on both fronts. The resultant work, Honey, I Want to Start My Own Business: A Planning Guide for Couples, mixes illuminating real-life examples with practical advice for achieving entrepreneurial fulfillment and personal peace." "From Library Journal: Basing this book on her own experiences of trying and surviving numerous entrepreneurial adventures with her husband, plus interviews with 125 couples, Jaffe has created a cross between an entrepreneurial guide like Michael Gerber's The E-Myth (Ballenger, 1986) and a couple's relationship book like John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (LJ 12/93). Using detailed exercises and quizzes, Jaffe provides readers with insights into choosing a small business, evaluating the risks and personal sacrifices each partner is willing to make, deciding if working at home is a viable option, and keeping lines of communication and love open. Sample scenarios illuminate everything from how to offer constructive criticism to how to bring romance back into harried lives. The conflict resolution chapter especially leads the way through resentment and misunderstanding. Buy this title to help life-mates through the emotionally charged issues of financial risk, business failure, and family sacrifices. Susan Awe, Jefferson Cty. P.L. System, Arvada, Col.
