PUBLICATIONS
 She was approached by
two publishers and her book titled ‘How to Start a Business
on Your Kitchen Table’ was printed in 2002. The new edition
had extra chapters and a small change in title, as many business
operators told her that because they had established businesses
they did not to read it - but then realised what a wealth of
knowledge it was for existing businesses as well as start up
businesses. The new title is now:- 'How to Run a Business
From Your Kitchen Table'.
Gabogrecan wrote a
regular column for the Sunday Herald Sun for over two years, and
The Age for nearly a year. She has had a number of articles and
papers published (eg. SEAANZ and VCTA Conference, ‘Working from
Home’, Dynamic Small Business Magazine, etc.)
