The entrepreneurs allowed access to their businesses, shared their stories and spoke of their goals and dreams, all in an effort to help other rural entrepreneurs, and other women, in their endeavors. The publication also takes a close look at rural Maine, the communities, culture and character, and how the environment helped shaped each business.
While the book focuses on Maine entrepreneurs, it is applicable to all rural America. Every rural community/area has talented and creative residents who may benefit from the experiences of others, and who might be ready to take their own steps toward creating a successful business venture. This publication might just be the inspiration needed.
