I reviewed two books in February, one simply because I was intrigued by its title. The title is Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers. This book was written by Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., president of Corporate Coaching International, a consulting firm specializing in executive coaching. After reading Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office.... I realized that I held a very serious career primer in my hands. Look for my review March 3.

My second review book, The Family CFO: The Couple's Busines Plan For Love and Money by Mary Claire Allvine and Christine Larson, teaches you and your partner to handle your money well by managing your money well. What I liked about this book is that you meet real couples with real problems. It had me nodding and saying to myself "oh yeh, I know how that is." The Family CFO covers very sensitive money subjects with ease. This book and its idea is meant to be shared with your other half and read out loud. Look for my review March 10.

Here is a great article for those with home businesses: Your Home Business: Your Voice Mail As Your Personal Assistant.

Be healthy, safe and happy. And visit often.
