As an entrepreneur, a business school teacher, a student, and a mentor - I am constantly looking for ways to tell stories that will inspire my students and myself to achieve the goals we imagine. I am always seeking unique and powerful ways to advance personal change for all those around me. I have read hundreds of business books, motivational books, and listened to thousands more on pod casts and simply put, THIS book, THIS author, THIS story is one of the most beautiful, compelling and brilliant books I have ever read. It is the kind of book that whisks you away into imagination, creation, sensory indulgent adventure and demands your attention to the things you most want out of life. The book, intended to be like enjoying a cup of tea daily, was a perfect beach weekend escape read that I couldn't put down. After devouring the entire book in just two days, I was ready to then start sipping, reflecting and keeping it by my bedside to remind myself each morning to follow some of the mantras and remember some of Zhena Muzyka's most salient advice. Stay Positive "The most successful people have a knack for "plucking the positive". They seek out sunshine, the choicest leaves of the plants. They look for solutions, daring to believe life is a friendly endeavor and that failure offers the chance to grow." and Collaborate with people smarter than you! "Seeking out brilliant people to collaborate with is a brilliant way to ensure your average gets better every single day. Whenever you feel stuck, pick up the phone and start collaborating with a trusted friend or colleague." - I highly recommend this book and hope you cherish it, as much as I have. - Summers McKay, Program Director - UCLA Anderson EDGE and Publisher, Caution Curves Ahead Media

I am a person that loves a good story. Zhena tells a good yarn and has you sitting forward in your seat in suspense for much of it. Can a single woman, with a desperately sick child with insurmountable hospital expenses, dream up, run and make a success of organic and fair trade tea? Can she face the competition who have millions of dollars and MBA's head on and expect to come out as a winner? Can single women with ideals really make their ideals and businesses come to life and carve out their place in world that is cutthroat? Well if these are the questions then this book answers with resounding Yes, Yes Yes!

To a person who likes an autobiography this is a masterpiece. To the spiritual person, this is a gem. To the visionary, this is a compelling read from a woman that is not only gifted in business but as a writer also. It's a great story, from a deeply spiritual and real individual. Zhena open up the sacred parts of her life honestly with transparency in a raw and fascinating way. Join her as she speaks about life, struggles, fears and success in a really down to earth way. As a writer myself, I found my literary skills not up to hers, but was proud of the job she had done with her words on a page. It was one of those books that you are sad when it ends.

I pray for her books success and her continuing success as a business woman. I send my love to her and all the workers in the tea fields that labor to make her tea leaves.

With Love

I've been a fan of Zhena and her teas for years now, and having experienced her bright smile and energetic glow, I've always assumed that she had some sort of charmed life that is completely out of reach for a normal human like me. Reading the details of her story was a real eye-opener, and once again I'm reminded that life is what we make it.

Her writing is evocative and expressive, taking the reader on a journey from desperation to hope to elation, and everything in between. But if Zhena's story of persistence and grit isn't enough, you also get lessons, exercises, and actionable tools that come from her experiences. And just the descriptions of the flavors and scents that she blended into her teas will instantly transport you to another world.

Most of all, this is a book that teaches us that we must believe, take action, and persevere, and actually shows us how. My favorite quote: "I had gone from making $10 an hour working for someone else to $7.50 working for myself." Every entrepreneur will relate to Zhena's experiences. I feel re-energized from reading her book, and am ready to make new leaps forward with her encouragement!

Words can't explain how much this book has pierced into my soul. Zhena's storytelling allows you to see yourself through her passion, challenges and audacity to keep moving forward. I am touched by her journey of how she grew her tea business and achieved success, not because of egotistical intentions, but by following her instinct, her calling and her generous mission to end poverty for tea workers. Life by the Cup left me asking myself, "What else can I do? How can I contribute to the world?" and at the same time challenge me to take a moment each day and connect with mySELF. I recommend this book to anyone, young and old, aspiring entrepreneurs or successful ones - anyone who can benefit from learning how we can open our hearts, face growing pains with courage, love and grace and make space for miracles to flow through.
