Important Life Lessons for a Successful Career

I would advise anyone in the business world, particularly anyone in a service industry, to read this book. It is definitely worth a few hours investment of your time. It is so insightful and helpful. The advice given to Mary by her father is simple and profoundly powerful. Sometimes we get busy and forget the simple, common sense things that will make us incredibly successful. Mary has proven that by taking these steps in real life, success is achieved. I had the pleasure of working with Mary in the past and she lived what she writes in the book. It is very real and I highly recommend this book.

Wisdom that transcends generations

I came across this little gem of a book quite by accident about a year and a half ago. I took it home and read it in one evening and was so taken by the butcher's lessons that I couldn't wait to share the book with my staff. As a an elementary principal, I knew that my teachers would benefit from the down-to-earth "people strategies" shared in Mary Lucas' book. Not only do the strategies make sense, but they are strategies that anyone can put to immediate use, whether you are 18 or 80. These lessons are lessons all parents need to pass on to their children to be passed on to their grandchildren.
Just this morning I presented a session at the TEPSA (Texas Elementary Principals & Supervisors Association)Summer Conference, sharing the Butcher's Lessons with a large group of Texas Elementary Principals. I felt compelled to share this book with my colleagues, not only because of the book's impact on me, but because of the impact I knew it would have on them...and it did. They related immediately to the butcher and his pearls of wisdom.
If you are in the people business...all of us are...you will enjoy this wonderful little book. You will learn from it, you will be inspired by it, and you will be motivated by the heartfelt delivery of the lessons shared. It will be a resource that you will go back to again and again to draw strength from and to remind you to use the strategies in all of your relationships. This book is filled with "prime cut" bits of wisdom that will serve you well in all areas of your life.
Mr. Bichelmeyer's life was truly a life to celebrate and his daughter has done him proud!

Great read!

LOVED the book! I've bought 5 extra copies to give as "comeback sauce". Plain and simple, a delight to read!






Informative AND Heartwarming!

I can not express how much I enjoyed this book! It not only touched me on a professional level, but a personal one as well.

From a Professional prospective, having worked in the staffing industry for 28 years in Atlanta, I could certainly relate to everything Mary wrote beginning with her very first day! Over the years I taught several Customer Service classes for the whole Region and worked with individual branches as well. I was given the book to read from a colleague just before leaving Atlanta and I suggested my company purchase this book for EVERY branch across the country. It was so easy to read and makes the whole concept of customer service an easily obtainable objective. Although I have moved across the country to pursue a lifelong dream working for a non-profit organization, I will be working in Special Projects, one of which includes putting together a training program for the over 30,000 volunteers that come to the organization every year. Included in this project will be training for employees on how important the volunteers are to the organization and how to ensure their visit is as rewarding as possible. The information in this book will be invaluable.

From a very personal standpoint, reading about Mary's father and her special relationship with him affected me deeply. My father, who passed away 10 years ago, was a wonderful teacher and a trusted friend. He instilled in me a great sense of responsibility, a respect for all individuals and the importance of leading a moral, caring and humane life. I miss him everyday.

I thank you very much for this wonderful "feel good" story

Empower Your Soul !!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Some books leave us free and some books make us free." We love to read motivational and inspirational books but real books on life and how one person left a legacy says so much more.

Oprah said "It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are-not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within-that you can begin to take control."

This is what Lucnhmeat and Life Lessons: Sharing a Butcher's Wisdom by Mary Bichelmeyer Lucas is all about. This book emphasizes the sharing of life as we are all customers in this life and how we share and treat one another is expressed such memorable words in this story.

The story of a little girl and her father and his message, she continues to share how much her father means means to her but also the wisdom he left means to her. I found the book emotionally moving but to actually see Mary Lucas speak was truly emotional for my whole office as well as leaders within my community of various organizations.

She has a passed on a gift and a story that continues to give to so many people a story, and help them remember one of there own hopefully. I only wish she could reach more people and let the story touch their souls like it has touched mine and many who witnessed it as she told it.

Many--Many--Incredible Hallmark Moments!!

God touches our souls in so many ways!!

I thank him for this family and this story as it is the "Comeback Sauce" which is a reminder to all of us about life's lessons.

PRIME CUT ADVICE.

John Bichelmeyer dispensed much more than ground beef and bacon to his customers. A man with only an eighth-grade education and father of 10 children, he offered rare wisdom and compassion to his clientele, friends and family that came from the heart.

Now his daughter, Mary B. Lucas, B.D., tells the story of how she earned her B.D. (which stands for "butcher's daughter") by spending hours at the butcher-block table in the family kitchen, listening to her father's stories about how he achieved success by making deep connections with the people around him. In turn, Mary used her father's advice to find the passion and perseverance to rise to the top of the staffing industry.

As John used to say, "Remember to put the `comeback sauce' on everyone you meet." In Lunch Meat & Life Lessons: Sharing a Butcher's Wisdom, Mary offers a healthy dose of that sauce, which will empower everyone who reads this book to reach their full potential.
