The Pampered Chef: The Story of One of America's Most Beloved Companies (Random House Large Print Nonfiction) Book
At Berkshire Hathaway, we like companies that are easy to understand. Doris Christopherâ??s â??keep it simpleâ? approach has a lot to teach anyone who is reaching for the American Dream. Frankly, if I canâ??t understand a companyâ??s business, I figure their customers must have a pretty hard time figuring it out, too.I would challenge anyone on Wall Street to take $3,000 and do what Doris Christopher has done: build a business from scratch into a world-class organization. But follow the simple steps in this book, and it just might happen. Come see me in Omaha when youâ??ve put together your own recipe for success; we pay cash and Bershireâ??s check will clear. In the meantime, read this book. Then, read it again.-- Warren Buffet from the foreword to The Pampered ChefThe Pampered Chef is Doris Christopherâ??s extraordinary account of how she turned an innovative concept and $3,000 investment into a business with annual sales approaching the billion-dollar mark. It is packed with real-life lessons and inspiring insights for small-business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.In 1980 Doris Christopher, a former home economist and teacher, was itching to get back into the workforce after an eight-year hiatus as a stay-at-home mom.

Today, the company she started in her basement, The Pampered Chef, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary and has grown into a corporation with tens of thousands of independent kitchen consultants. Now owned by Berkshire Hathaway, The Pampered Chefâ??s Kitchen Consultants present more than a million Kitchen Shows a year, attended by more than 12 million people.THE PAMPERED CHEF is the story of the vision, energy, hard work, and chutzpah that drove Christopher and her company to the height of success. She describes her early days as a â??one-woman show,â? chronicles the companyâ??s gradual expansion, its challenges and growing popularity, and the process, offers invaluable advice and sound strategies on how to found and grow a business, including:Hard learned lessons for start-up entrepreneursHow to create a business concept and set your prioritiesKnowing when to expand and when to slow growth so that demand doesnâ??t overwhelm your operations or suppliesHow to counter the naysayers and deal with adversityToday, as at the companyâ??s founding, achieving a better balance between work and family remains central to The Pampered Chefâ??s mission.
