Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book! I read it in two days... it was so hard to put down. I closed the book with pages of ideas coupled with driving motivation! I feel empowered to use my own talents in new ways. Crystal does a marvelous job providing encouragement for women in business.

Money-Making Mom makes me feel like I can. Crystal not only inspires me to think I can, she also helps me to do so by giving practical tips in the book about how to deal with failure and insecurity and how to move forward. She has inspired me to set a few scary goals of my own, but she also made them less scary by teaching me to break them down into bite-sized chunks.

Cathy

There are many things I appreciated about this book. It is a walk-you-by-the-hands book on the how, what, and why of finding your money-making ability! This book requires you to dig deep in all the best ways, to find what you really love and do what you really love. I love that it is not a one size fits all or a do what I did type of book. I really love that you do not come away after reading it with a burden of feeling like you have to tackle this big project monster, instead you come away empowered with a sense of clear focus and direction for where your real passions lie.

Rachel

Thank you so much for allowing me to get an early look at Money-Making Mom. I read it last week and really enjoyed it. I dont usually mark up books, but I found myself dog-earing and highlighting all over the place on this one. There were a ton of ideas in this book, and my favorite part was that none of them were quick fixes. So many self-help books want to change your life overnight, but this book encouraged women to build their businesses slowly and with intention.

Jill

Money-Making Mom holds a message every American needs to read. I rarely highlight or take notes in books. This book pulled creativity out of me that I didnt realize I had. I was able to formulate a few business ideas through the first few chapters. The whole book has my notes littered in it though. Not only were there many practical tips and examples, but the heartbeat of the book was filled with substance way beyond the normal entrepreneur. The feeling I had after finishing the book was excitement for the future, realism of the hard work ahead of me, and acceptance of who I am and how I can use my gifts.

Mariah

This book is just the jump-start to get creative juices flowing, the encouragement to be more successful, and the challenge to make a difference in other peoples lives.

Carrie

Crystal Paines new book is a perfect blend of the practical and the philosophical. It contains a wealth of actionable steps and exercises to help any woman move her business idea from inkling to existence, but its when she addresses the whys that she really shines. Ive read so many business and entrepreneurial books lately, but this is the first one thats dug deeply at my heart and challenged me to consider what I'm really trying to accomplish in bringing in extra income.

Elissa

Crystal Paine mentors the reader every step of the journey from identifying ones skills and passions to determining ones mission in life and connecting those to a money-making venture. Its filled with practical advice about educating yourself, choosing a domain name, growing your business, and adding employees. As you read, you feel as if youre sitting with Crystal discussing your ideas over a cup of coffee. This is not a get rich quick scheme; Crystals own candor about her failures makes Money-Making Mom a refreshing departure from other books of this genre. Read it, and youll be encouraged in starting your own business.

Karen

This book gave me some great ideas about ways to earn money, but above all, it inspired me to give back to others in need. Having this new purpose of helping others through my finances (as small as they may be) is a huge motivation to earn money. I am incredibly thankful for this book and the realization that I can make a difference in the lives of those who need it!

Elizabeth

I consider myself to be well read and have an advanced degree. I was a little skeptical that there would be any new insights in this book. However, it was not only motivating but I also learned some new ways to find opportunities for income. I will definitely be putting these methods to use.

Alice

Crystal was so open and honest in her writing, reading it felt like she was a close friend sharing ideas and stories with me over a cup of coffee. The book not only gave me ideas for living debt-free, saving money, and earning extra income for my family, but gave me the confidence and motivation to make a difference in these ways.

Kelly

As a woman, who has a regular 85 career and doesnt have children, I found this book very enlightening and encouraging. It offers many ideas of how to earn extra income to provide for your family but more importantly it inspires all women, no matter their situation, to find their passion and live it to the fullest.

Jessica

At the onset of the book, I expected to be informed but not changed. Instructed but not inspired. Well, I was wrong! From , I began researching and polled a few friends who might like to use my services only to find that I was immediately overwhelmed and underprepared for what would be required to execute the plan. Not to worry. Crystal addresses failure in the book! Its all part of the process.

I continued to reexamine my question from above: what makes me uniquely gifted to serve others while earning money? One night, just before bed, it came to me! An epiphany. I launched into a business idea that seemed so easy and so obvious, I couldnt believe that I hadnt thought of it before.

I have been an avid reader of Crystal Paines writing since the very early days of her mommy blog and have enjoyed watching the evolution of her personal growth and writing style through the years. In my opinion,
