You CAN Have Your Cake AND Eat It Too In Dr. Bellandra B. Foster’s debut book entitled For Love and Money: Seven Guidelines for Achieving Success in Your Home and Business, she explains in seven basic principals how readers can prioritize God, marriage, family and entrepreneurship while main- taining order, success and peace in their own lives. Dr. Foster outlines how many of us no longer have the job or position that we trusted would be there until retirement. We realize that our current position with any company is no longer safe and stable, but we are sometimes apprehensive of moving into entrepreneurship. However, she explains that entrepreneurship can be successful with the guidance and priority given to us by God. “The drive to work hard for your purposeful goals is the first step,”says Dr. Foster. “Believing you’ve come too far requires only that you recognize you’ve go something to offer and that there is a purpose for your existence. My purpose and desires included being a loving wife and mother, but God also placed the desire and ability within me to own my company and assist entrepreneurs in professional business pursuits.” Meet the Author Dr. Bellandra B.
