Good if you need inspiration to start a business
I bought this book because I am starting my own business and wanted to find out how Doris did it. It is worth reading if you are thinking about starting a business or becoming a Pampered Chef consultant. She writes in a very comfortable format though she repeats herself about some topics. I wish I could meet her someday!
