About this ebook
Small business owners can use all the help we can get! We start our business with a passion or skill and jump into the marketplace. Convinced we will be the next big startup and darling of Wall Street, we soon we find out there is not enough day left at the end of the to-do list!
As the owner of two businesses as well as being an author, volunteer, wife and mother, I understand the demands on your time. In working with Entrepreneurs, I have found that after being in business for a time, you may start to burn out and eventually begin to dread working with your clients and going into the office each day. This disconnectedness and lack of celebration can cause Entrepreneurs to catch the “shiny squirrel” syndrome (ok I know its “shiny object” and/or “squirrel”, but didn’t you just picture a squirrel decked out in tin foil?). We lose focus and start looking for that feeling again by starting other businesses, bigger projects or just simply “phoning it in’’. Can you relate?
The purpose of this book is to give the small business owner, simple, easy to incorporate, and effective ideas to connect with your clients, make a contribution and celebrate within your business. In short, a boost of what I call Vitamin C3: Connect, Contribute, Celebrate, that can help eliminate “shiny squirrel” syndrome.
My goal is to help people see that we are all connected at the very basest of levels (cells/DNA/stardust/beings on the same planet); to encourage contributing to one another, and focus on time to celebrate even the smallest victories. If I can do that with a handful of business owners, I have had a life well lived.
So why read this book? To help me achieve my life’s mission of course! Well, maybe there is something in it for you too. See how it impacts your bottom line and your overall joy!

Foreword
You can always tell when someone truly understands something by whether they can take ideas, concepts, strategies, etc. which can appear to be complex and make them understandable. Not dumbing down
seemingly complex things but instead reducing them to their simplest parts and then helping others to see the principles behind them. Simply said, most people make things far more complex than they need to be. In Mary’s wonderful book Vitamin C3 for Business: 52 Ideas to Connect, Contribute and Celebrate your way to success!
Mary makes the seemingly complex very simple, understandable, and immediately implementable.
By breaking down the principles behind what makes a business successful into a weekly time frame, Mary shows how succeeding in business need not be difficult, risky, or a roll of the dice. Matter of fact, succeeding in business isn’t much different than following a recipe in a cookbook. Once you understand the basics ingredients of a meal, you can start to experiment a bit. And in
