I read this book thinking it might help me with my small business, [...]. There is a lot of great, easy to read advice and guidance in it, but I was dissappointed that the whole book cites the same 10 or 12 sucessful women over and over. Having a variety of different voices and input would have made it more interesting, and allowed more successful women to share their ideas, too.

I first bought this book as I considered opening a vintage goods shop with my mother. It was such a good resource, we each wanted our own copy. I found the information to be very useful as we mapped out our business plan and eventually opened our little shop.
The shop eventually closed when we had to give up our location, and cancer claimed Mom’s life. I have been feeling the urge to have a shop again lately, and wanted to re-read the book. Apparently I’ve lent it to someone who never returned it to me! Mom’s copy was nowhere to be found either, so I ordered another copy. A small price to pay for the information and guidance imparted within.

I love this book! It seems to me that in both of these books there is a theme: Debby DuBay, Retired United States Air Force and owner of Limoges Antiques Shop in historic Andover, MA and author of a fantastic series of books on collecting Limoges; Living With Limoges, Antique Limoges at Home and Collecting Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain, Boxes to Vases. DuBay inspired me with her story of patriotism and passion for porcelain. In addition, her insight and quotes in this book are useful and enlightening. “All of us are unique – and we should use that uniqueness to succeed” states DuBay. These words could not be better advice in the world we live in today.

I just found this charming, useful and inspirational book on sale at a local book store. This collaborated effort by a Victoria Magazine contributor and successful small business owners like Debby DuBay, retired United States Air Force officer, was absolutely inspirational and had so many useful tips for a new business owner such as myself. I found information on my business plan and the small business administration, etc. In addition, I tried to contact many of the contributors to the book, but most I could not contact. I boldly contacted Ms. DuBay who enthusiastically provided me with many helpful tips on my new business! I love this book and highly recommend it for all! It is a timeless book!

Purchased this book in Limoges Antiques Shop, Andover, MA from one of the contributors; Debby Dubay, ret, USAF and author of her own series on collecting Limoges porcelain. This book is remarkable and if you are considering starting your own business or turning your passion into a profession this book is a must. Debby DuBay credits The Business of Bliss and Victoria Magazine for her success – but her input was invaluable with the success of this publication.
