        The idea that you can actually start a business in 12 weeks might be unrealistic for most projects, but this book is meant mostly to inspire. By setting a one-week goal for each task, Hurd (founder, VentureMom.com) hopes to overcome the perfectionism and indecision that will often slow down a beginning entrepreneur. In line with this goal, the author includes stories of other mothers who have successfully created their own companies. The book is aimed at entrepreneurs seeking to market a passion, rather than those who need to erect a business as a means of support. Consequently, the work is long on social media and networking tips and short on guidance about regulations, budgeting, loans, suppliers, or management. Most of the advice is borderline common sense, but the author does offer useful organizational and scheduling tips. However, the repeated references to the reader being a mother could annoy other types of readers. VERDICT Recommended for anyone who enjoyed Ann M. Holmes's There's a Business in Every Woman and for mothers who want to market a hobby.--Jessica Spears, Monroe Coll. Lib., Bronx, NY
