The business of bliss

Review “Entrepreneurs who daydream about converting a hobby into a career should consult The Business of Bliss: How to Profit From Doing What You Love. Bliss is by Janet Allon and the editors of Victoria magazine… Most of the 74 businesses profiled have appeared in the magazine. This is a pretty book filled with fetching photos of handmade vintage dresses, jewelry, flower arrangements, pillows and sweets — so much so, it looks more like a compilation of impressionist art than a book about business owners. Don’t turn to Bliss for the nitty-gritty on start-ups. But. . .it’s an inexpensive way to get a glimpse into the entrepreneurial life without suffering any of the drawbacks.” — Christine Sparta, USA Today –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
