This book is an original!
Cindy's refreshingly candid and insightful stories present solid business counsel born of personal experience and reflection. Most business books – and I have read a lot of them – are pretty boring. This is a book you won't want to put down!

I NEED to tell you -- I LOOOOOOOOVE your book. It's FABULOUS. Not only easy to read and beautiful to look at, but STUFFED with connected-to-Source reminders I want to live every day. Many mornings, I start with breakfast outside in a beautiful place, while reading just a few pages of such a "get in the right frame of mind for the day" books. Priestess Entrepreneur will be one I read again and again.

I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love your book. I've been retreating to my room to take some time for myself and read bits of it here and there, and it's just like having a really wise and fun friend to talk to, about things that are already on my mind and that I need to talk about! Thank you for all you put into it.

Priestess Entrepreneur is a "must read" for anyone who is seeking self-understanding and personal growth, for business owners and potential business owners. Cindy tells the story of her own transformation through her life as a business owner facing personal and business challenges. Her stories are entertaining and her message is filled with wisdom and easily applicable principles for greater business success.

The most impressive part of the book, however, is the way in which she "calls forth" the greatness in the reader and helps them to believe in themselves. This book is essentially about stepping up to the plate and being a leader in your own life.

Boulder author and entrepreneur, Cindy Morris, has given small business startup owners—men as well as women—a business guide that provides what the Small Business Administration cannot: a compassionate here’s-the-scoop view of what it is really like to manage a small business, formatted like a discussion over tea with your favorite aunt . . . who just happens to have a background in social work as well as business, who cares about your life as much as your livelihood, and who is so authentic and forthcoming, you are riveted by what she has to say.

Morris operated a flower shop in Boulder, Colorado for ten years and conducted it as any other Cornell graduate (and, yes, she earned a degree at Cornell) might conduct their personal spiritual practice. She opened herself to not just earning her living from the process of selling the beautiful and ephemeral, she opened herself to excavating her own depths and learning from it.

Have no fear that this book is a walk through la-la land, though. Morris provides guidance that is as practical and earthily humorous as that favorite aunt could. She wastes no time getting to one of the major issues that stops business dreams in their tracks: self-worth. She navigates such practical issues as finding the right space, getting organized, and bartering for goods and services. She is honest about the things business books seldom address: managing boundaries, managing disappointments, and managing yourself. She is wise and witty when it comes to discussing the joys and horrors of employees and customers. She even gets real about getting on with your life and getting out of business.

This book is more practical for many a small business startup than a handful of business coaching sessions because Morris has been there herself, is willing to provide stories about it, and will refill your teacup as she pats your hand and assures you that you can do it, too.

Cindy Morris' book is just what I needed to make sense of the entrepreneurial life. It can be exhilarating, adventurous, frustrating, challenging, and downright crazy-making. Reading Priestess Entrepreneur was like having a good friend take me by the hand, listen to my own story, and tell me it's all going to be okay. Cindy helps you understand not only the glories, but the pitfalls for running your own business and in the end shares why it's a journey worth traveling.

Whenever I feel discouraged, I open Cindy's book and find just what I'm looking for to spur me on. Encouragement, empathy, strength, and sheer joy and love of the process. This book is a companion worth holding hands with.
