Book Review: The Accidental Farmer

Jim Pagiamtzis Review;

              "Patti Pkorchak shares her amazing journey and the lesson and strategies she implemented to created massive success!"

   This book is NOT about farming but how to build a thriving business, in the middle of nowhere when you know nothing about the business of farming! BUT I knew how to sell and market, the essential skills every entrepreneur MUST master. Getting 500 people to show up on a long weekend in August, on a dirt road that went nowhere on a budget of $100....... that's where a creative marketing brain and frugal marketer came up with yet another FUN party that brought in thousands of dollars worth of business in 2 hours.

“This book is entertainment and business advice all in one package, based on the author’s eclectic life and business experience. Read, laugh, learn!” Helen Wilkie, the Communication Expert for Accountants — helping numbers people use words "It was thoroughly delightful, full of action, change of pace, willingness to change directions and to inspire the reader to dare and to move constantly in new directions."

Don, retired Doctor Have you ever wanted to:
• Run away from your demanding career? • Live a life without regrets?
• Explore the world and get paid for it?
• Piss off Bill Gates? Patti Pokorchak did all of this when she was a shy scared introverted geek.

She knew she couldn’t live with regrets, so she faced her fears and did it anyway. She had it all: great career at IBM, doting boyfriend, 6-figure income at the age of 25, friends galore. But she wasn’t happy. If you’ve ever wanted to run away and start over but didn’t think it was possible, you need to read this book!
When at the age of 55, she restarted her life after a 30-year detour back to her hometown where she only knew 2 people, she has shown with lots of working smarter and really hard, you too can become an overnight success in under 10 years.
:P "Plod your way to profits" isn't sexy but it is a reality for 99% of entrepreneurs. But get to where you're making great money and enjoying practically every minute of your life, it's so worth it. Read about someone who was scared of her own shadow but somehow managed to have an incredible life, living without regrets but with many life and business lessons. This book is not boring and an easy read for any entrepreneur.
