One sunny spring day while we were enjoying the beauty of nature by a lake, a question arose: "How can we share with the world all of the incredible, heart-centered entrepreneurs we have been so blessed to connect with over the years?" Once the question was out, the answer came quickly and easily and, being the doers that we are, we acted swiftly to implement the resulting plan.

This book is the answer to that question, the result of those actions, and the product of that plan. We have contacted and interviewed all of the truly authentic, heart-centered business owners we know. All of these people are doing what they do because they are passionate about being of service to humanity.

We invite you to read all of these stories with an open heart and an open mind. These business owners are going to be vulnerable, open, honest, and will share their hearts with you. As you read their answers to the illuminating five questions we asked each participant, you'll get to know them and when you find a need for the service they offer, you'll have their contact information right here in this book. When it comes time for you to call them and do business, all you need do is walk over, open the book, and contact them.

In this book, you will:

- Meet fifty heart-centered business owners
- Feel connected to the entrepreneurs through their powerful stories
- Find out why they do what they do
- Be inspired by their five question interviews
- Be able to easily find them when you need their services
