Sam's countless stories, her honesty, and her candor made me relate to her on a level I rarely do with authors. I felt by the end of the book I was wiser AND had made a new friend.

Sam Eaton has a wealth of experience, and she pours it all into her new book. It's a perfect reference book for an entrepreneur looking to start a new business or grow their current business, but it's much more than that. Part guidebook, part memoir, part self-help for the entrepreneur, Sam weaves storytelling, interviews with other entrepreneurs and exercises throughout the book to maximize its functionality for the business owner and really, everyone. She built a very successful business during the pandemic, and she lays her strategy all out in the book. It's also a really fun, incredibly helpful read! If I someday start my own business, this is the first book I'll pick up.
