The Beautiful Aardvark: A Veterinarian's Story Creating, Building And Selling A Small Business

Dr Timothy Mann never wanted to be a business owner, but was driven to innovate by shortcomings he saw in the field of veterinary medicine. After being denied a mortgage, he realized that entrepreneurship meant "think big" he wrote a loan proposal for 2 million dollars and bought the building next door. Drawing inspiration from the miraculously adaptive aardvark, Dr Mann developed and used the AARDVARK principles of business success: Adaption, Audacity, Resilience, Drive, Values, Activism, Respect and Knowledge. The Beautiful Aardvark recounts these experiences while bringing their lessons to life through the vivid and touching stories of animals from dogs to African gazelles. Demonstrating how social values, community and compassion are vital to helping a local business grow and thrive, The Beautiful Aardvark, is a touching must-read for anyone passionate about small business management, animals and taking initiatives from the heart.
