it shows it can be done

I was as staring at a career crossroad sand boarding was high on my list. This poked a hole in my inflated ideas and brought me to a home-ground level that might actually work. (I dunno i just finished the book not started the biz) but it gave me working points to build on and i have a similar rural position as the author. Currently contemplating fiveish indoor kennels and a grooming station.

Very good read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loved the fact that it was a good how to book in real life circumstances. Loved the honesty of good and the not so good experiences. I just wish it was longer 😊
