But the story in Dare to Become is especially intriguing and uplifting because Julie Gareleck didn’t have major venture capital dollars to fall back on, nor does she have an MBA from Harvard.\n\nWhat she did have, however, was a sense of drive—of grit—and of a burning desire to achieve her dream.\n\nNow in her mid-40s, as the founder and CEO of Junction Creative, one of the nation’s leading marketing firms, Julie started in high school working for her mom and dad in their restaurant in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She did it all there, from waitressing to scrubbing floors. But along the way, she also learned the basics of how to run a company.\n\nAs she made her way into the corporate world and was confronted by inscrutable and insensitive bosses, Julie’s dream to start her own company began to form. She finally realized that the time had come to take the leap. Her refreshing, honest, and authentic account details the extraordinary trials and tribulations of Julie’s bold decision to go on her own, starting from the day she quit her job.\n\nDare to Become provides a unique perspective on how to finance your start-up without going into debt, how much to pay yourself, when to hire an employee, the differences in managing a Gen Z worker as opposed to a baby boomer, and much more. This is the real, everyday gospel of what it’s like to go through the inevitable ups and downs of starting your company. And best of all, Gareleck provides essential advice for the entrepreneur, all learned from her own experiences along the way.\n\nThere are many books on entrepreneurs and their start-ups, but this is the rare volume that takes you into the vortex of how to make sure you’re really on the right path to success.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1611884012\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1611884012.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gareleck, Julie Cropp\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366647267389,"sku":"BVV.1611884012.VG","price":7.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1611884012-0.jpg?v=1784415138","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/dare-to-become-from-the-corner-booth-to-the-corner-office","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
