<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When creating your business, why not collaborate in terms of having some fun and doing essential work? Author Wendy Dickinson applies her years of experience working with brilliant business owners using the wonderful fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper" to uncover time-proven insights to entrepreneurs who want to be both wildly successful and happy. </p><p><br></p><p>Filled with activities and practical tips for entrepreneurs to build an asset, not just create a job. Looking at business through the eyes of Ant and Grasshopper, two budding entrepreneurs, you will have the opportunity to avoid common pitfalls such as having a managerial mentality instead of a CEO mindset, building a business that's dependent on the owner, failing to do relational due diligence when onboarding friends and family, and preparing to exit your business. "Work the Bugs Out' will empower you to work the bugs out in order to build the business of your dreams. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I am constantly looking for good books to recommend to my clients that will help them improve their overall business. However, <em>Work The Bugs Out</em> is not a good book...It's a GREAT book! Wendy does an excellent job of integrating fun facts and activities into the daily struggles of most business owners. She incorporates a clever way of using the fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper'' into the pitfalls that many entrepreneurs make running their business. I especially like the tips and real life exercises Wendy weaves throughout each chapter. It makes you think differently about your own business and practical ways you can improve it. Whether you are trying to improve your business or considering an exit strategy, I highly recommend reading <em>Work the Bugs Out</em>!</p><p><strong> Randy Asbell </strong>Partner/Director of Business Development, Selling Forensics</p><p><br></p><p>Ant and Grasshopper leverage the power of storytelling in business. The arc of tension in the story takes the reader on a memorable journey. While the ending is rich in information, each chapter builds on the main story and shares lessons learned along the way. I find the "moral to the story" in each chapter to be insightful as well as practical. You share authentic and real business dilemmas. The narrator's introduction to the characters brings them to life, and creatively parallels client stories in Wendy's coaching practice. In doing so, Wendy demonstrates the perspective and power owners can gain from working with Ascend Coaching Solutions.</p><p><strong> Anne Steen </strong> Executive Coach, Career Strategist, Keybridge Coaching & Consulting</p><p><br></p><p>In her book <em>Work the Bugs Out</em>, author and business coach, Wendy Dickinson uses the classic parable of the Ant & Grasshopper to provide current and would-be business owners the strategies and mindset necessary to launch, sustain and eventually exit/sell their business, on their terms. Unlike more traditional how-to business books, this one makes the exercises and recommendations more approachable, thereby promoting a higher likelihood that readers will be inspired and actually implement the suggestions contained within.</p><p><strong> Gus Iurillo</strong> Career Ownership Coach/Franchise Owner, The Entrepreneur's Source</p><p><br></p><p>A thought-provoking must-read for any existing or potential business owner (and their families to better understand all that is on their plate at the office)! The valuable time spent will undoubtedly lead to your creation of more happiness and freedom, as you take control of the evolution of your business and life!</p><p><strong> Brian Lange </strong>Area Manager, Primis Bank</p><br>
