The Mac & Cheese Millionaire: Building a Better Business by Thinking Outside the Box

This book is about the authors quest to fall in love with her work, and how she did so by leaving a cushy job as a lawyer to create a hit macaroni and cheese restaurant, and build a unique, feminist work culture there that helped transform the restaurant industry. Along the way, she shares all the trials and tribulations she encountered (and eventually overcame) building a small business, and the lessons that helped her sell millions of dollars in cheesy carbs–these lessons are valuable to any entrepreneur building their own business. Additionally, she digs into what was wrong with the workplaces that she, and so many others, have toiled in–namely, that they are built on outdated, masculine values. Erin discovers that the secret to building something better is to embrace her own feminine values and leadership to form a one-of-a-kind work culture based on greater meaning, purpose, and connection. As a business, Homerooms performance is in the top 1% of restaurants nationwide, and Erins unique approach to building employee culture has earned her national recognition. Using funny, approachable anecdotes, Work gives women the tools to embrace a feminine leadership style that many of them either embody or are seeking but may not have the language to convey, and to build careers filled with greater connection, meaning, and financial success.
