I am still dipping my toes into the literary pool, finding what works for me and what doesn’t. Book like "Destined for Greatness" by Sarah Nuse is definitely my cup of tea. This book is a magical story that reveals the essence of life, hard work, dreams and actions. Due to the simplicity of the prose style, breezy and funny illustrations, vividness of imagination, this simple yet insightful story which I think to be one of the best contemporary literary works of all times.

" Remember that daily actions,even just one, every single day will take you a step closer to success." Sarah Nuse

There are lots of unfinished books on my nightstand and in my Kindle. This one I read cover to cover in one sitting.

If you want inspiration, guidance in business and life with a step by step action plan for you to fill out as you go, this is for you. Or, if you just need a great new friend to tell you all the mistakes they made that turned out to be huge blessings, to remind you that you don't have to get it right all the time to get right overall, you need to read this book. Bob Goff, New York Times Bestselling Author of "Love Does" and "Dream Big" writes in the forward how he told Sarah “I see a book inside of you. The world needs to hear your voice.", and he was absolutely right.

I must admit I am not a reader. I've been excited to read Destined for Greatness and I had high expectations for it but I was absolutely blown away by how good it is! It's a fun read, but it's also inspiring, encouraging, faith filled and relatable. I couldn't put this book down in and read it one day, it's that good! I highly recommend Destined for Greatness for anyone who has a dream, inspires to be an entrepreneur or just someone who is looking for a little bit more and who needs help taking the first step.

Destined for Greatness is by far one of the most fabulous, and life changing books I've read. Sarah's story and message is filled with hope and will encourage you to live your best life - to know that YOU TOO are destined for greatness.

Sarah's book will give you inspiration and guidance for your career and life. She is an accountability coach and provides an amazing step by step guide to help you take the actions needed to accomplish your dreams. We are only steps away from achieving all of our wildest dreams, and Sarah's book gives you the blueprint and the courage to take those steps.

If what you need is a light to show you how your life and all of the mistakes in it can all work for your good, sit down and let Sarah tell you how much you have to offer this world.

This book is an absolute must read for the budding entrepreneur, the parent, for that special something in each of us. Destined for greatness will forever touch your heart, soul, and life.

Even if you're not looking for a motivational book, reading about Sarah's life story and the people in it, will feel like curling up to a warm fire talking to your best, funniest, most humble, and wisest friend.

This book is a truly "feel good" read! There's no way to read this book and not feel uplifted and inspired to chase your dreams, however big or small those are! As someone who personally knows and adores Sarah, I can't say enough good things about her or her book. She is such a joy to be around, as she genuinely shines Jesus' light everywhere she goes, which absolutely comes through in the words and stories of this book. I absolutely loved getting to "know" Sarah on a deeper level, as she is very transparent and open in her writing about the many "growth" experiences she faced through the years as a business owner and Christian. I'm so thankful for her willingness to be "real" and share the good and the "not so shiny" parts of the journey, which God clearly used to weave together the compelling and relatable tapestry of her story.

Sarah Nuse is a wonderful storyteller and had me laughing out loud with several stories, especially Wake Up Joseph. Her Shark Tank experience is also worth reading about!
The book is easy to follow and presents not only great examples of the author's theories for developing confidence and building a business, but action plans to help readers get started.
Although the book is about the author's impressive entrepreneurial success, it is also a story of great faith, love and friendship.
Although I'm not an entrepreneur I have been able to apply her principles to my life and I recommend the book for anyone who wants to clarify their goals, maintain a positive attitude, help others and accomplish more.

I really enjoyed reading this book and found it inspirational as well as motivating. I love Sarah's energy! I live in the neighborhood where Sarah grew up and friends with her parents. That connection made the book even more special to read. What Sarah has accomplished in such a short time is truly remarkable!

I found this book to be quite relatable as a (kinda) college entrepreneur. Lots of wisdom for small business-owners and just wisdom for daily life!
