Description

The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America's #1 Wine BrandIt is amazing that such an iconic brand as Barefoot Wines began as a start up in the laundry room of a rented farmhouse. Even more surprising is that it was started by a business couple with no money and no knowledge of the wine industry. They regularly ran into difficulties that nearly killed the brand. It was their unshakable belief in Barefoot's potential that kept it going, along with the use of classic business principles, and a never say die

It is amazing that such an iconic brand as Barefoot Wines began as a start-up in the laundry room of a rented farmhouse. Even more surprising is that it was started by a business couple with no money and no knowledge of the wine industry.

They regularly ran into difficulties that nearly killed the brand. It was their unshakable belief in Barefoot's potential that kept it going, along with the use of classic business principles, and a never-say-die outlook. Hardship, hustle, and heart are the essence of The Barefoot Spirit.

The book was written by award-winning journalist Rick Kushman after hundreds of hours of research and interviews with the Barefoot Wine founders and many others. The Barefoot Spirit is not a dry business text. The lessons are woven into a humorous twenty-year business adventure story. It's an uncommon peek behind the curtain of the wine business that's inspiring, amazing, and entertaining.

This book is a testament to the power of out-of-the-box thinking. It is a guidebook for anyone in business, and a great read for everyone who loves a rags-to-riches story. Filled with encouragement, inspiration, and empowerment, it includes:

* How Worthy Cause Marketing out performed paid advertising

* How boot-strapping was used instead of conventional financing

* The surprising advantages of being small and broke

* How creating a fun, yet hardworking company culture encouraged innovative leadership

If you like wine, the wine country, or a story about how a plucky couple disrupted an industry, if you want to know what it takes to really succeed in the face of adversity, if you want to know how to use your core beliefs to build a national brand, then The Barefoot Spirit is for you.

BEST CASHMERE SCARF 🧣
Color: Navy
EXCELLENT QUALITY !! This cashmere scarf is amazing, the size is perfect. The Navy is true in color.. This is the best as they make without the ridiculous EXPENSIVE LABEL. I just went to the Italian designer boutique comparing the $1000 scarf, quite literally 1000% thicker and color is better.. the size is perfect for the easy for just the casual loop. Truly soft feeling around your neck !!!

beautiful warm scarf
Color: Nougat
This scarf is gorgeous! It is large so it can be worn in multiple ways. It is very very warm, perfect for cold autumn and winter. The nougat color is just as pictured. It is a very pretty neutral color that matches everything. The only thing I don't particularly love about scarf is that it is a bit scratchy for me. However, I feel like my skin might be more sensitive than usual. I love that it is made of natural fabrics but it sheds a little bit and you can see that on black sweaters the most.
