Use What You Know by Joyce Brewer Book Review
Use What You Know: A Business Idea Guide for Moms by Joyce Brewer is an e-book for moms who are thinking about starting their own business.
The e-book gives you advice on business ideas given the strengths and skills you already have and use them in a way today to strengthen and grow your tomorrows.
Joyce is an Emmy award-winning TV journalist who helped me go beyond the glimmer of the trophy and see the real woman behind her business.
She tells you a little bit about her story and background that brought her to start Mommy Talk Show. Joyce is a savvy business woman who has appeared on The View and interviewed Oprah!
Watching her videos revealed her nature and if we lived closer, I am sure it would be so fun to hang out with her. Hopefully we can meet each other soon!
In addition to her insights, you also learn from five other women who each started their own business. Many of the same questions are asked of each mom and their varied answers provide a wealth of information on ideas and tools.
Just like no two moms are alike, no two businesses are alike. Each woman gives information about what she did that worked for her and these principles can help propel others toward establishing their own future. It was eye opening to read about failures and lessons learned, as much as it was to read about the successes.
Use What You Know
Toward the end of the e-book, Joyce outlines some key questions to think about before you begin your own business. These questions help clarify what you already know and have talents for in order to open your mind for the future. Following these questions is a list of resources and other reading material that may be helpful for you.
If nothing else has convinced you to visit Mommy Talk Show, then you need to stop by and see how adorable her son, A.J. is! Too cute for words.
