As one of Sharon Farinholt’s cheerleaders, along her roads to
success as an entrepreneur, I have witnessed her dedication, determination,
and agility as a business owner and community servant.
The learned lessons shared in her new book, The Marathon of
Running A Business, are vibrant reflections of business building
weaved together with her personal passion as a runner.
Sharon shares keys to success like preparation, training,
dedication, collaboration, continued development, creating key
partnerships, and teamwork. What I especially love is the authenticity
in her writing.
Take a run alongside her, especially if you are thinking of starting
a business, or want to refresh yours. I am confident it will help
keep you on course to your personal best.

Having known Sharon the majority of my life has been a true
privilege. Watching her grow in each phase of her life has been
a lesson in both perseverance and determination. Sharon has
never let anything stop her when it comes to getting what she
wants. She became a successful entrepreneur by depending
on her own passion to prevail. Failure has never been in her
vocabulary. Her capacity to give to others and be their helping
hand is why so many were there to cheer her onto her own
victories. Whether it was one of her many marathons, or one of
her business ventures, Sharon has always had her own personal
cheering section rooting for her to make it to the finish line. She
uses the same tools in business as she does in all other aspects of
her life and that is how she created the successes she so greatly
deserves.
