      Gracious & Ruthless - Susan Sokol Blosser

      Praise for Gracious & Ruthless

      In the crowded arena of how to books, this one stands out. Little in size but big in ideas, this book will inspire you, challenge you, and tell you things you didn’t learn in school. It’s a must-read.

      — Wes Lawrence

      Regional President, Northwest Region, Key Bank

      As a founder of an international triple bottom line company that grew very quickly and went through all the typical small business challenges, every word in this book resonated with me. Susan’s experience is so eloquently shared. This book should be mandatory reading for any business class.

      — Frederick Schilling

      Founder, Dagoba Organic Chocolate

      Gracious & Ruthless provides open and honest insight into the ins and outs, ups and downs of starting a small business. Great advice.

      — Gert Boyle

      Chairman, Columbia Sportswear Company

      It is obvious this book is written by a woman who has been in the trenches. I strongly recommend this easy-to-read book to small business owners to gain knowledge and strength. I could have used her advice as we built our business!

      — Gun Denhart

      Founder, Hanna Andersson Clothing Company

      Any entrepreneur who follows the gems from Susan’s experience will be forever grateful. I have deep respect for her accomplishments. Her willingness to share enlightens us all. This book should stay on the desktop.

      — John Emrick

      Chairman, Norm Thompson

      This book is chock full of common sense, practical advice that can be put into practice instantly. Susan shows us that achieving the right balance is probably the most important step to success.

      — Brian Rohter

      CEO, New Seasons Market

      The wisdom this book exudes can provide clarity and guidance to budding entrepreneurs as well as experienced corporate leaders. This is an important and inspiring read in how to conduct business for the future.

      — Cameron Healy

      Founder, Kettle Foods, Inc.

      If you are starting or running a small business and want it to have the highest standards of integrity, read this book. Susan captures so many of the challenges you face as a small business owner, and how to handle them head-on with grace.

      — Janie Lowe

      Co-founder, YOLO colorhouse

      "In two words, Susan captures the spirit essential for success in small business. As I read Gracious & Ruthless, I wished I had had this succinct advice when I started my business. It is always reassuring to know that no matter what product you are selling, your challenges are not unique and Susan is able to sum it up in a book that is both efficient and smart for the small business owner who is challenged for time."
