Reading this book is just like you’re actually talking with Beth. You can hear her speaking to you throughout the story. As she says in the intro duction, there’s good and bad, happy and sad, but a drive forward the entire time. I’m one of those people who ask, “Why not?” instead of “Why?” I had more unique experiences at A Little Something Bakery than I ever would have thought possible. And how could I not help out? Such great people.
The author takes us on a very personal and honest journey. She does an excellent job at getting tot he “WHY” and “HOW” of starting or rejuvenating a business in a plain, simple, and straight forward approach. She gives just the right amount of homework with the available worksheets. She uses her easy-to-get-to-know demeanor to guide an entrepreneur in realizing their potential. As you read, you will feel like you know Beth as a neighbor and friend. The author lets us see her strengths and weaknesses through real-life examples of what worked for her.
She allows us to meet the most influential people in her life. I enjoyed seeing how these individuals molded the way she ran her business. They all made her the trusted entrepreneur that she is today. I loved going down memory lane with A Little Something Bakery. The examples of how patrons became family are real. She gives these examples for a reason. The network of patrons/family that she built over the years served as her best support during the ups and downs of this and any business. Beth has determination and a never-give-up attitude. She may get knocked down, but she finds a way to get back up again with grace. This book will help get any first-time business owner or any business needing a boost to the next level. She may not share her recipe for the “Dirtbombs,” but she will share the invaluable knowledge that she gained through times of feast and famine.
In this book, Beth describes how difficult and emotional being an entrepreneur is and how many unforeseen circumstances can set any business down a path they wish not to go. Beth speaks
directly to the reader to make them feel comfortable about the process, be prepared with the tool they need to start off right and understand the importance of doing your research.
Beth Bolton was a light to the dark halls of 485 New Park Avenue. Her laughter, spirit, and kindness are like a magnet for me. I admire Beth’s strength and determination above anything else. She has been through the wringer and back, and she keeps moving forward with that smile, a little sarcasm, and a healthy amount of pride.
Beth’s new path to help others succeed in business is a natural fit since she has been in business for over 30 years. She has helped me make some major business decisions of my own. Beth has given me the motivation to strive for more and see the things in myself I wasn’t so sure existed.
