The truth about starting from scratch

This book is the most inspirational book that I have read so far. She is brutally honest and gave invaluable information. She shares her trail and error endeavers. She talks about her mistakes candidly, and without reservation. There are no punches pulled in this book. There are many things that you are unaware of that Michele makes it clear that you need to know. Michele has really paid her dues. From start to finish she lets you know what she had to do to make it work. She shows that if you don't give up, and are willing to do what it takes to make your dreams come true, you can make it. Many people don't want to do things the hard way, but Michele shows you what can happen when you roll up your sleeves and keep working until you see it through. This is not a business guide, this is a book about how Michele made her dream a reality with enough common sense advice, and tips to see you through. She was just smart enough to share how she did it so that others want have such a hard road to go. I recommend this book to anyone really wants to know what it's like to start from "scratch".

The Best Book I've Read This Year

As I strolled down the isle of a bookstore I felt Michelle's book tugging at my inner most being. I continued to grab other books of interest, but this small guide took prominence over other readings. I perused the front and back cover but nothing stood out that justified the eruption that was occurring inside of me. Then I opened the book and began to read... Trust me, the power of this book will find you at whatever stage you may be in your growth, or sometime perceived decline, as an entrepreneur. I'm a huge fan of beginning chapters with quotations; I especially love authors who take as much time as this author has to select the perfect quotes that resonate deep within the reader's soul. Michele's book is profoundly broken into several 3-5 page chapters that have meaning. She ends each section small statements, keys that only an experienced, sincere, committed entrepreneur could teach. Each time you complete a section you want to return to place you were when you read the first words, because it will change you... you actually grow as you read this book. More than a seminar, after reading this book you'll feel that a prophet has taken time to listen to you and show you the way.

Sweet Inspiration

This book is a reminder that nothing is impossible. A great and inspirational story for women young and old. Michele's journey is a fine example of the power of following your dreams....a true gift of a story helped me get in touch with what really matters in life.

More than Sweet...Inspirational!

This is a phenomenal story of a woman with a strong spirit, determined to change her life. With honesty, each phase of Michele's life opens new doors of success, growth, and the strong determination to succeed in all phases of her life. Her story is a wonderful message of faith and the desire to fight for life, happiness and to share these blessings with others.
