Part 2 of the Receipts series. At seventeen, Blume painted gallery walls, addressed thousands of postcards, and worked solo shifts in a small museum haunted by its former owner, Myrtie. Those years taught her the four business lessons she still uses today: the invisible prep behind every "wow," building a mailing list before you think you need one, wearing every hat, and the self-trust to bet on your own work. Plus a phonograph that played itself with no needle and no record.

Have you ever wondered if you waited too long to start something new? Blume Bauer has been asking that question since she was twenty-two – and she's been proving it wrong ever since. From her first Yellow Pages ad to launching The Yellow Studio at forty-nine, this is a thirty-year story about why your age is not a barrier. It is your greatest business asset. Come find out why the best time to start was always right now.
