Christy Wright

a woman's guide for making money doing what she loves

"More women than ever are starting businesses -- side businesses, home-based businesses, hobby businesses and small businesses," says Wright. "With increasing social media platforms and online tools, it's never been easier. But there are also many challenges and questions that come along with starting a business. By giving these women a step-by-step plan, they're able to take the guesswork out of running a business and have the confidence to make money doing what they love." In Business Boutique, Wright shares her four-tiered plan that makes business concepts easy to understand and implement. She speaks to proven principles on marketing, selling and social media, and she addresses more complex issues like taxes, copyrights and personnel. And with many women working from home, Wright offers practical advice for establishing boundaries and finding the balance between work and family. In each chapter, Wright gives women tactical steps that allow them to create their own, customized step-by-step business plan. - Publisher
