Steve Adams, a retired, overweight, 61-year-old Brit, who had never hiked in his life, decided one day that he wanted an adventure. Not willing to settle for just any old adventure, he decided to hike the entire length of America's Appalachian Trail, a beguiling attraction for many hikers, both home-grown and from all corners of the globe. Stretching from Georgia to Maine, taking its travelers on a whimsical journey through national forests and parks, along ridges and over mountains, the A.T. is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. The Appalachian Trail is physically strenuous and emotionally taxing, involving a commitment of about six months to complete the entire 2,200 miles: only one in four of the people who start in Georgia will actually complete the hike. Steve was completely unprepared for the myriad challenges that the trail offered him, but took them on with gusto.My Appalachian Trial I: Three Weddings and a Sabbatical tells Steve's story of the hike from its origins, details his careful preparation and tentative first steps, and follows his faltering progress and eventual growth as a hiker. Often intimate, sometimes profound, and occasionally profane, My Appalachian Trial I explains why Steve was drawn to such an iconic trail, how he embraced it, and what happened when things went wrong.

Meet Steve Adams, who at age 32 was a banking executive and flying high. Everyone was proud of him. And he was dying inside. Adams had long yearned for something else - a dream that you, too, may harbor in your heart. He had a passion waiting to blossom. He wanted to make it as an entrepreneur in his own business. He wanted to do something meaningful. Win or lose, he writes, I knew my only real anguish would be regretting in twenty or thirty years why that young man never just took that chance. Today, Adams operates successful Pet Supplies Plus stores across the country. His was a journey of severe challenges overcome, and in The Passionate Entrepreneur he shares his mistakes and heartaches and what he learned from them in his pursuit of success. He imparts the lessons about the systems and strategies essential to running a successful business. Among them: how to treat employees, appeal to customers, and establish your brand, all the while paying meticulous attention to the bottom line. Above all, however, an entrepreneur must understand the true bottom line - the meaning of success itself. Adams knows that business without passion is a mere exercise in numbers. Profit without purpose can drain the soul. He wanted to be an entrepreneur so that he could lead others to a better life - his family, his employees, his clients, and his community. An entrepreneur needs a mission and absolute clarity about what he or she wants to accomplish. The Passionate Entrepreneur is a book of encouragement for those who are ready to pursue their dreams and for those who fear, in their frustration, that they have forgotten them. Steve Adams gets to the heart of the matter, and he is waiting to speak to you. Foreword by Lee Milteer
