Some of these stories are funny, some sad, some inspiring, some touching, but whatever it is, you don't have to wait around for the punch line. You don't have to peel the walnut to get to the nut. It's quick and to the point. Every story is told in one, not two, not three, but one single, short and sweet paragraph. The author believes that excessive talk and chatter is wasteful.

Autorenporträt

The Authors Sharon and Ray Steelman During the past forty years, Sharon and Ray Steelman have started and run six successful businesses. Their most recent accomplishment is Bama Jammer ™ Promotions. Beginning from scratch, with no money, no equipment, and no office, in seven years they transitioned a modest business into an advertising specialty and Identity- clothing company with markets stretching across the US and abroad. After trial and error, long hours and lots of sweat equity, the pieces finally began to fit. It is amazing enough to build six successful businesses, but to do so completely debt-free is even more amazing. By applying Biblical principles, frugal business practices and good work ethics, Sharon and Ray have proven that anyone can realize the "American Dream!"
