That'll definitely come in handy. :)<BR/><BR/>Marjorie, yes, I definitely recommend picking up this book. It's a great read and very helpful! Also, I'm betting you could manage to knit more than a scarf. I still consider myself a beginning knitter, but have been slowly trying out harder projects. I still rip out a lot and take my time! I have about a million and one projects in my head and want to work on them all at once! (Probably a bad idea...)<BR/><BR/>Jen, I'm actually not super talented in the knitting area (read above) and as far as starting my own business, I just take it a little bit at a time. It's not always easy, but I keep reminding myself it's totally worth it!<BR/><BR/>Chandra, I think my mom has some books or tapes by Dave Ramsey. I'll have to check it out. Though too many books on my plate and I get overwhelmed! So I'm gonna start little bit by little. :) <BR/><BR/>Erica, Thanks! You should definitely get back into knitting. It's addictive and it makes you want to buy all these cool yarns. :) On second thought..... ;)Anna McClurghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924367696371374833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-67872240904154623362008-10-20T10:29:00.000-06:002008-10-20T10:29:00.000-06:00Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your kind words abo...Hi Anna, <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for your kind words about The Boss of You!

A friend gave me a copy of this book and it was one of the most useful gifts I have ever recieved. After you finish what you are reading, give it a try! TOTALLY worth the read, I actually find it entertaining. I've just started his way of money management, and already I feel as though I have hope again.Chandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371904274142463404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-83767177518203850842008-10-18T15:13:00.000-06:002008-10-18T15:13:00.000-06:00im glad to hear you're grabbing a whole new set of...im glad to hear you're grabbing a whole new set of reigns on your business ;) i used to knit but it was simple stuff like pot holders and scarves - im really impressed with your bolero you've got coming along! its going to look really cute when you're finished ;)Erica Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03947327104938086705noreply@blogger.com
