After recently joining Simply Audio books, the first couple books I rented were a complete bore. This was really good. It was entertaining and informational, although sometimes corny.

I did not finish listening, unfortunately. The story is interesting and the presentation is very lovely, but I am one of those people who are always on the run and I couldn't find time to listen to the book because it takes a while to get to each point.
I will try renting it at a later time when I can afford to spend some time following story line...

It's a warm, funny story with a great narrator. I have a small craft business and linked some of her lessons to that. I loved it and highly recommend it!

I was a little skeptical about how relevant or good this book would be and rented it on the basis of the other reviews. Well, I have to say that I was impressed and agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewers. If you're starting your own business or managing someone else's, this book will offer some common sense, valuable tips.
Plus, while it sometimes feels as if the author is adressing a class of 1st graders (she narrates in a slow, deliberate manner), her common sense approach to building her business is worth getting past that. Very entertaining read.
