Redefining Rich

Achieving True Wealth with Small Business, Side Hustles, and Smart Living

De: Shannon Hayes

Narrado por: Stacey Glemboski

In our dysfunctional economy, “success” often comes at great personal cost...we’re tired, we’re stressed out, and we have no time for family and friends. It’s time to redefine “rich”.

From a third-generation farmer and successful entrepreneur, Redefining Rich is an entrepreneur’s guide to balancing work and family with the pleasures of the good life, with simple exercises and important lessons to serve everyone from the new sole proprietor to a seasoned CEO.

Shannon Hayes was in the final months of her PhD program, recently engaged, and beginning to plan her future. Having grown up on a Northern Appalachian sheep farm, she had two advantages: a hard-won education and hillbilly pragmatism. But when it came time to enter the job market, Hayes made a tough discovery: The economy just doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for women, for free thinkers, for the working class, or for white-collar professionals. It doesn’t work in rural America, much less in the cities and the suburbs. It forces us to choose between career and family, profit and creativity.

So, Hayes and her husband walked away from their career paths and chose to forge a life on her family’s frost-plagued mountain farm, starting up a small café in town. Together, they found their sweet spot: a place where the Appalachian farm culture and sensibilities she and her community have lived by helped them thrive, even in a tough economic environment. Against the odds, the Hayes family built a business that lets them live abundantly, spend time with family, and enjoy the gifts of nature. And the business even helped reinvigorate their chronically economically depressed town.

Refreshing, Reflective and Motivating

Using personal experience both succes and failures, outlines some common opportunities we entrepreneurs often overlook.

Loved!

One of the most helpful books I’ve read in a long time. I really appreciated her perspective and felt really encouraged as I start my own small venture in sustainable farming.

Excellent

Great book! I just wish the author was the narrator voice. I would love to read Shannon’s other works now too.

Great book

I have listened and or read this book 5 times in the last two years

Great narration, inspiring narrative

I greatly enjoyed this listening experience. Not only is the message an important one (how to enter the life-serving economy and define true wealth), the narrator has a warmth and buoyancy that makes the reader feel uplifted and inspired. There is so much actionable advice here! I feel like it’s a book I’ll return to again and again.
