🌿 Soft Start: Launching With Grace, Grit, and Guidance
By Brandi Starks | A Dorothy’s Paradise Guidebook
Start where you are — not where the world says you “should” be.
In Soft Start, Brandi Starks offers a grounded, soul-rooted approach to building a dream business from scratch — no hustle culture, no gatekeeping, just gentle structure and real tools. This guide is for visionaries who want to create something intentional, sustainable, and aligned with their energy, story, and purpose.
Spanning ten rich chapters and paired with reflection prompts and printable worksheets, this book covers everything from brand clarity and business setup to finances, marketing, and emotional wellness. It’s part how-to, part journal, and fully a love letter to the sacred, soft beginnings of entrepreneurship.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Start with your own time, energy, and skills — not someone else’s highlight reel
Validate and refine your idea with low-cost, real-world feedback
Build a brand that reflects how you want people to feel, not just how it looks
Navigate legal, financial, and operational essentials without overwhelm
Create marketing and community strategies rooted in connection
Use rest, reflection, and seasonality as business tools — not afterthoughts
Whether you're just planting the seed or are ready to bloom, Soft Start is your guide to launching with grace, grit, and guidance. No pressure. No performance. Just possibility — in your own rhythm.
