Creative Approach to Entrepreneurial Issues

An innovative and fun approach to addressing issues often faced by new entrepreneurs. The challenges to "clean your litter box" and be "purrsistent" are fundamental to success. You don't get lost in buzz words and honestly using the Cats-Can workbook at the end will give you a good start on your journey.

Cute approach that makes you stop and think...

Mary Hessler has done a superb job of highlighting the key fundamentals that make an entrepreneur successsful. The cat anology will delight feline lovers everywhere but the important point is that you can be of a 'Scat, Cat!' mentality and still find useful ideas in this book. So often we read about sound concepts and tune out thinking, "I know...I know...I know." The author's ingenious use of attaching the basics to an analogy with a new twist opens the imagination for more serious thinking about entrepreneurial life.

Fun and informative book!

This is a series of very fun and light-hearted lessons on business and life in general. The format of "cat lessons" is an analogy for how to think more proactively about your work and personal life. This book provides down-to-earth guidelines for thinking more like an entrepreneur. I really got a lot out of the "cats-can." Whether you're a cat lover or not, you'll be inspired by Jazzie the cat! It's nice to read a business book that is not boring and can be read in an hour. I received this as a gift, and plan to give it to my friends and business associates.

easy reading, excellent "feline" analogy focuses on life....

Cat lover or not, you'll relate to this cute and light-hearted read about thoughts on what "to do" about your life's business. Had hoped for more explaination on subjects needing further details but, good start in the right direction for anyone needing a little "push".
