 Very inspiring July 7, 2005

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it taught me a lot of lessons that I can immediately put to use in my own business. Jane shares her fears and her failings as well as her successes and I totally admire the way she works. She is an unstoppable woman and I'm really glad this book came to my attention.
Great info for those following their entrepreneurial passion June 13, 2005

So many of us 'lifestyle entrepreneurs' work alone and are committed to following our passion(s) even when it is challenging and lacks financial stability (and even reward). We can't help it - we just have to pursue our dream!
SOUL PROPRIETOR: 100 Lession from a Lifestyle Entrepreneur is a great guide and reference for beginner and experienced entrepreneurs. Short, to-the-point examples confirm that it isn't just me who struggles with some of these issues and inspires me to explore my options and keep pursuing my dreams.
(In addition to this book, which I've recommended to many entrepreneurial friends, I also own the CD of this book. Great for trips, it is just good, solid information!)
 thoughtful insight, but not a how-to guide April 11, 2005

If you're looking for a how-to guide or directions on how to accomplish a certain task, look elsewhere. This is a good book in it's own right though. It offers short (1-3 pages) examples and anecdotes of lessons on dealing with the trials and tribulations of owning and running a small business. It's nice to see it's not all peaches and cream.
Truly Fabulous! September 2, 2003

Where was Jane's book when I was starting out in business over 15 years ago? I can recall searching in vain for similar words of wisdom. I knew there had to be others-like me-dealing with the disheartening experience of not being taken seriously as a businesswoman. Today, I consider myself more successful than I ever though possible. I learned some lessons described throughout Jane's book, the hard way. In some cases I was fortunate enough to have a mentor to easy my way. A decade and a half of experience has not taught me all I need to know about being in business. I found Jane's book to be filled with many insights that I know will be helpful to me in the future. I also found it encouraging to know I wasn't alone, in dealing with difficulties that often arise among creative entrepreneurs. In the book, Jane was especially adept at giving insight into dealing these "bumps in the road," and most helpful in outlining how to turn these obstacles into opportunities. I frequently reread the book for inspiration. I have given many copies as gifts to my friends and colleages. I'm overwhelmed with their gratitude for sharing such a wonderful book. Thank you Jane for sharing your wisdom and knowledge! Lisa Pavelka

I have read Ms. Pollak's book and found her lessons to be relevant not only to business but to life. I have also heard her speak and she is a wonderful inspiration as a person and as a professional. I highly recommend her book to anyone - interested in business or not - there are life lessons in the book worth reading.
