Why you should read The 60-Second Commute

Erica Orloff and Kathy Levinson pair up to deliver a jam-packed, step-by-step, practical guide on how to "have it all." You can conduct a fulfilling career and have a personal life at the same time, if you work at home. Today, with the majority of America working from home in some capacity or another, this book is a must-have on almost every bookshelf. In their hysterically funny way, the authors bring to light any snare you can imagine (and some you’d never think of!) while starting a home business or venturing into the world of telecommuting. And if they make it sound just a little too breezy, you’ll find that out as you proceed. So whether you’re just toying with the idea of reducing your commute time to less than 60 seconds or your business has already taken over your home, getAbstract.com recommends picking up this quick read and spending some time with two funny ladies who know first hand how to make a home-based business work.
