    An absolute must read for those wanting to start a jewelry business.

    I wish I had read this book BEFORE I spent a cent on my jewelry business. Lareau would have saved me a lot of money. I found and read the book about 9 months after I started my business and have made many changes because of the information in this book. It is a time saver and a money saver.

    Lareau knows her stuff. I found her writing to be easy to read, well focused, and valuable. One can read it a chapter at a time or all at once. I have probably read many chapters three times and get more out of it each time I read them.

    I'm ready for book 2, Ms. Lareau.

    Liked the Author

    It was easy reading this book. The Authors personality came out as I read this book. You can tell she is a lovely woman and has a real passion for what she does. She is very encouraging and comes across to the audience that if you have a passion for making jewelry whether to have a money making business or as a hobby anyone can do it! Has some good resources but could have definately had more for someone who is starting new in the business.
