This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pet Bakery Business Startup How to Start, Run & Grow a Trendy Pet Bakery Business Inspired by that British (BBC) television program called The Great British Bake Off and love, more pet owners are making homemade treats for their furry companions. Fueled by the rapid spread of information on the internet, there are what seems like an unending array of pet recipes. It's never been easier to treat Fido and King homemade artisan dog treats. And for those dog owners who haven't yet jumped into baking for their pets but are more than willing to buy gourmet treats, some of the best options can be found at places often called pet bakeries. Whether the bakery is online or in a physical retail establishment across town, pet owners, especially those who own dogs, are willing to spend a reasonable amount of money so their pet can enjoy a delicious treat. More pet owners are developing the tendency to treat their four-legged friends with the same attention and appreciation as their children, for they have chosen to not have any of their own or are waiting for the right circumstances to have or adopt some. Another reason for the rise in homemade treats is a growing realization that commercially bought treats contain dubiously healthy-if not shockingly dangerous- ingredients. For those owners who want to ensure their pets have nothing but food and treat with the healthiest ingredients, it's really not a long jump to creating homemade treats. After all, you can easily see this as a natural extension of food-buying if you're already dedicated to organic and natural ingredients in your own diet and that of your family. I started making various dog treats at home out of necessity and to make sure our dog always had something healthy to eat. But my hobby quickly grew into a passion and soon I saw a demand for dog treats from extended family, friends and neighbors. The next step came almost naturally, after my husband suggested that I look into opening my own pet bakery, I started looking and researching the idea and soon enough the concept turned into reality and I never looked back. But this book is not about my success story but yours, in this book, I show you a step by step process that anyone can follow and open up their own Pet Bakery even from home. In This Guide I Discuss: Why Your Pets Need Fresh Treats How To Tell If Your Dog Has Food Allergy Food Nutrition And Food Safety What Kind Of Nutrition Your Dog Needs What Vitamins Your Pets Need Organic Vs. Commercial Food FDA, AAFC, OTCO And USDA Regulations Dangerous Additives To Avoid Equipment And Supplies You Will Need To Get Started Recipes Your Dogs Will Love 12 Traits Of A Successful Business Owner The Bridge From Hobby To Business Step By Step Transition To Starting Your Own Business How To Market Your New Business Business Plan To Success 6 Must Do's For Your New Business How To Pick The Right Legal Structure State And Local Regulations And so much more...

Book excerpt: It was love at first sight. Amid the frenzied barking and prancing of a house full of Great Danes, one pup was shivering in the corner. Gracie. But when Dan Dye reached her, she struggled to her feet like a clumsy foal, raised her forehead to his, and announced, as clearly as if she had actually spoken the words, You know I'm the one. Now get me outta here! By turns funny, moving, tender, and inspiring, Gracie's tale is a treat for every dog lover. There is Gracie's first morning, racing around Dan in the snowy yard. Gracie's first determination to prove to her step-sisters, Dottie the Dalmation and Sarah the Black Lab, that she's one of the girls. Gracie's defiant romance with a pint-size charmer named Byron, a Boston Terrier from the wrong side of the fence. Then born of necessity, the eureka moment: When Gracie's delicate constitution starts turning into anorexia, Dan teaches himself how to cook, and in three days is baking her the cookies that will spur her appetite, launch Three Dog Bakery, and transform their lives forever. Courage. Compassion. Kindness. Soul. Tenacity. And joy, above all, joy. These qualities Gracie possessed in abundance, and shared with everyone, human or canine, who had the good fortune to cross her path.

Book The Soul of an Entrepreneur

Download or read book The Soul of an Entrepreneur written by David Sax and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning business writer dismantles the myths of entrepreneurship, replacing them with an essential story about the experience of real business owners in the modern economy. We're often told that we're living amidst a startup boom. Typically, we think of apps built by college kids and funded by venture capital firms, which remake fortunes and economies overnight. But in reality, most new businesses are things like restaurants or hair salons. Entrepreneurs aren't all millennials -- more often, it's their parents. And those small companies are the fabric of our economy. The Soul of an Entrepreneur is a business book of a different kind, exploring our work but also our passions and hopes. David Sax reports on the deeply personal questions of entrepreneurship: why an immigrant family risks everything to build a bakery; how a small farmer fights to manage his debt; and what it feels like to rise and fall with a business you built for yourself. This book is the real story of entrepreneurship. It confronts both success and failure, and shows how they can change a human life. It captures the inherent freedom that entrepreneurship brings, and why it matters.
