Summary: A truly enjoyable read!
Comment: I read this book on the dreaded journey home after a week of restful, fun vacation at the Cozzens resort. It was wonderful, both the book and the vacation! The five hour trip flew by as I felt like I was sitting in the same room with the author having a great conversation and getting the REAL scoop on resort ownership. As owners, they make the job look easy but the book enlightens you to the behind the scenes happenings,challenging but obviously rewarding. Michele does a superb job of interjecting humor and warmth on every page while giving you a real picture of life as an "up north"resort owner.
I highly recommend this book to all, even if you've never been to a northern Wisconsin resort. Congratulations on living your dream, Michele! And thank you for sharing it with us!

Summary: Candid look at business ownership is refreshing
Comment: Wow, the minute I finished the Dream Life book, I e-mailed a note to Michele VanOrt Cozzens to thank her. I read a lot and have never felt that compelled before. I'm happy I wrote, as she wrote back and told me she has another book coming out in June. I can't wait!
This book is a candid look at how hard it is to start a small business, and what it takes to receive positive results. She does not sugar coat life, and only talk about the good things.
Difficult and rude customers are a fact of life in any business and it was comforting to hear stories of this reality and how they dealt with these everday challenges. Also, that employee turnover is normal and how they coped. The most important information I gained was on the legal liabilities involved in servicing the public. She writes with a bubbly excitement that made the book hard to put down, so I just read it straight through.
My husband and I are just opening a vacation rental property in Oceanside, California this weekend. Thank you to my brother for sending me this book. He actually ordered it on Amazon.com and had it sent to us. It makes a great gift!
