Getting a Life; Making a Living: How to Start and Run Your Own Business Alice Elliott Brown

Getting a Life; Making a Living tells you how to turn your passions into an attractive small business to support your family.  Alice Elliott Brown begins at the beginning to help you understand your own interests and the market for your talent.  Want to turn your passion for hiking into a side business in nature guides and walking sticks?  Want to make your talent at creating YouTubes a real business that supports your family?  This book tells you how, step-by-step.  Getting a Life; Making a Living skips the philosophy and the motivational rah-rah too often filling the pages of business books.  Rather, it goes right to the heart and the 1-2-3 steps of what to do. 

Exercises and quizzes turn this practical handbook into a course guide. It also has an associated blog where you can exchange ideas with other readers who are exploring their own start-up ventures.  Ask questions of the author and other readers on the blog.
