A book I'm reading

I have been reading "The Family Manager" by Kathy Peel. I am really enjoying it. As self help books go, this one is by far my favorite. It speaks to me, not just because she admits to having once lived a life very similar to mine, but also because it's formatted in an appealing way. There are lists, quotes, little pointing fingers, checklists, worksheets, jokes etc... And it's all do-able... you know what I mean? There is no-"go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new organizations system that may or may not work for you!" or making it seem over simplified "Just clean your house everyday..." right... if I could do that, would I be reading your book?

No, Kathy Peel is a real person, with a real family. And she says that Moms are really like CEOs of small businesses... when you start looking at it from a management perspective, she's right. Who controls all the incoming and outgoing money? Mom (or dad- the co-pilot) Who schedules the family's time? She incorporates sound business practices with family life, and I've found it to be most helpful... Delegating, team building, simplifying etc...

I enjoy it, and I would highly recommend it!
