“Francie is an invaluable resource for women-owned businesses. Her heart is for women leaders and entrepreneurs, and she is absolutely amazing at building community and equipping women to achieve their dreams.”

“All the info you need to start a business is in this one place. I loved the the writing sections, quizzes and check marking! And the branding portion is amazing!”

“I really liked the journal format. It draws the reader into the process and helps her work through some business fundamentals that are necessary for each step. The servant heart you have for these women and the faith you share that God is in control bring me joy.”

“In Dream, Build, Grow, Francie Hinrichsen offers the kind of foresight, advice, and knowledge that only real life experience has to offer. She’s been there, she’s seen and studied it, she’s started her own business(es), and can wisely guide her reader around the pitfalls and speedbumps of starting her own business. Francie has paved a way to success, directing the reader's steps in a way that makes starting a business seem not only plausible, but important and necessary.

Francie is relatable and understandable, breaking down elements of business in a clear and digestible way. She is a teacher, a cheerleader, and a believer, and her joyful, realistic, can-do mindset is contagious! She is both honest and open about her own experiences, and because of that, is able to ask the right questions, demanding the reader to take an honest assessment of the dream and the reality needed to make it come true. Realizing that "you don't know what you don't know," she’s done the brainstorming for us; her insightful questions take the guesswork out of whether or not you’ve thought your venture through. She presents questions you didn’t even know you needed to ask!”

“This is the book that I only WISH I could have gotten my hands on when I first started my first business. It walks you through the business process, with direction, creativity, and thought provoking questions that allow you the space to dig deeper at the reasons behind WHY you went the entrepreneurial route, what matters most to you, and making sure that is prioritized at the forefront as you pioneer your own path. Francie provides a wealth of knowledge, wisdom along your unique journey to be prepared for, and most importantly a sense of warmth as you read this. She creatively took the overwhelming & ‘boring business lingo’ out of the entrepreneurial equation, making you truly see your dreams as reality, so that you can truly style your success in your own unique, handcrafted way.”

This book is an indescribable value-add: confident, generous, comprehensive, thought-provoking, and inspirational! Francie’s approach balances know-how with questions and it makes you feel like you are meeting with the most genuine, enthusiastic, and encouraging executive coach . . . yet she also feels like a friend and a teammate, all rolled into one (and maybe also a proud parent, cheering wildly for you in the stands!). Francie saved at least one year of my life because she has already done all the research, lived this out, and packaged everything together in one beautiful place! She knows when to gently nudge and when to encourage. Francie will meet you where you are at and then catapult you way further than you could have gone on your own, knowing it’s more fun to go together! Perhaps the most valuable reminder is Francie's reassurance you can do this! She will hype you up and show you what step to take next. She’s got you!
