MORE THAN A HOBBY

Read with genuine admiration and respect by Mark Warner, this is the story of a homespun God-fearing entrepreneur who applied his love of retailing to the building of a 300-store home-and-craft superstore chain, Hobby Lobby. It’s a love story with retail that is offered as a combination memoir/how-to, complete with steps and ideas for starting your own retail business. The advice is sneaky-smart; it comes across as plain and simple, but it contains a wealth of practical guidance that expresses a deep commitment to service, personal integrity, and doing things right. More than just instructive or enlightening, this is a highly inspirational audio that both retailers and customers will appreciate. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 06]
