SIPPING TEA AND DOING BUSINESSLEARN THE BASICS OF BUSINESS WITH THIS HOLISTIC BUSINESS GUIDE In 2001, Sheronde instinctively tapped into the differences business women face balancing work and family leading her to co-author the book, Sipping Tea and Doing Business: A Holistic Journey to Business Success, ultimately creating a national brand and concept for stress-free business that was readily embraced by thousands of businesswomen. In 2003, she hosted the first Sip-osium bringing together a forum format in a high-tea setting that allowed successful business women to interact with other business women to share insight and information in a supportive and nurturing environment.
This book has been a major find for me in the struggle to start my own business. So many other small business start-up guides contain necessary information, but most are vague and general in their scope. Sheronde Glover and Loretta Patrick have been able to translate their knowledge from the world of starting their own business into language that is easily understood and a format that makes sense. Starting a business from scratch can be (and has been overwhelming for me). There are so many areas that need attention and I have trouble prioritizing what is most pressing. In the "Take 15" section each of these areas has been broken down into manageable segments. By having the reader focus on one or two tasks in a 15 minute time period takes away the stress of "having-to-do-everything-at-once" or the "where-do-I-start" thoughts. The idea that starting, growing and maintaining a business can be handled in several small blocks of time is truly revolutionary. Each one of the 15 minute blocks is designed to build on the previous one. Before you know it you will have a business plan under way and be headed in the direction of owning your own successful business. Many people have advised me that I will have to put my personal wants and those of my family on the back burner because running a business is all-consuming. Sheronde and Loretta shatter that mindset by creating one of their own. They realize that "time-out" is essential to running a successful business. Taking this time-out revolves around a cup of tea. Tea is one of the least expensive forms of aromatherapy available. Tea has calming and restorative elements that enhance a sense of well-being. Sipping Tea and Doing Business is becoming my constant companion and my copy is very dog-eared. It has always been a woman's prerogative to change her mind and now women can change their mindset by following the guidelines set forth by Sheronde and Loretta. NOTE: YOU ARE ORDERING THE EBOOK
