What Real Business Owners
Are Saying About the Book
“Fabi’s vulnerability and authentic sharing shines brightly in how she sheds a light of her lessons learned through her twenty-year journey of business ownership. Whether you have just started a business or are in the throes of chaos in an existing one, Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership will give you clues, insights, and the validation necessary to forge forward with a true sense that you are never in this journey alone.” – Sherré D.
“Fabi creates accessibility through her vulnerability, making it easy to draw parallels between her business journey and my own. No matter where you are on your path, through both her hard lessons and sparkly successes, you’ll find relatable nuggets that will make you nod, make you think, and most of all, speak deeply to you on a level that only a fellow entrepreneur can.” – Chrystal R.
“There are two sides to every business: the analytical, and the emotional. This book weaves those two sides seamlessly together into an educational, enjoyable, and fun journey. Part ‘what not to do in business’ and part ‘what I wish I’d known about the human element of running a business,’ this book entertains and gets real at the same time—often in the same sentence. I’m walking away with new insights into how I run my business, mistakes to avoid in the future, a renewed clarity around lessons I’ve learned from my past failures, and the truth about fear, failure, and fortunes as a small business owner!” – Julie B.
“Fabi never quits. Like all business owners, she learns every day and challenges herself to make her business better. If you’re thinking of throwing in the towel, read this book and think again. Pick yourself up and get to work growing your company, but don’t forget what you’ve learned along the way.” – Matt B.
“Fabi offers us insight into her thoughts, vulnerabilities, and fears as she has grown in her understanding of herself and her role as a leader in her business, her family, and her community. Fabi’s writing style is conversational. You will feel as if she is in the room talking to you. I recommend that you read the book on a day when you can finish it entirely. You won’t want to put it down.” – Debbie P.
“I wish I’d read this sooner as I see mistakes I am currently making in my business ownership. I also am going to reread important chapters, so these lessons truly sink in. The Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership is a must-read for women who are serious about making their businesses successful. Fabi Preslar has pointed out roadblocks to avoid in this entertaining, fast-reading, insightful book. She is heartbreakingly honest and incredibly smart. Rush to get this book!” – Kim B.
“This book is a fabulous guideline for the dos, the don’t dos, and the potential pitfalls of business ownership. Fabi’s non-sugarcoated look at her own experience is encouraging and often humorous. Her open sharing of her downfalls as well as her successes in a down-to-earth, conversational style will inspire others to continue when they might think they have to give up and abandon their dreams. This book presented questions to ask myself and ideas that I had not previously considered in my daily life.” – Melody M.
“The book is a marriage of what it is to be a business owner and a human being at the same time. Great lessons on the ins and outs of life. I loved it!” – Anne L.
“When choosing a good book with which you can grow both personally and professionally, Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership is a power-packed read that will fill you with faith and fortitude to finish what you started.” – Christopher D.
