What choice do you make when the numbers don’t make sense? Do you give up, or do you get to work? Our guest, Mignon Francois, is a self-made black female entrepreneur who beat all the ads and turned her last $5 - the only way she could feed her family- into a multi-million dollar cupcake empire. Mignon’s story is super empowering but an example of how you can take a skill you might take for granted, like making cupcakes, and change everything financially for you and future generations. In this episode, we talk about Mignon’s practical steps to turn your talent into financial freedom, what to do when you’re stuck in chronic money stress, how to find the courage to try something different, and tips to launch a profitable business with one of your talents. Her story and message are going to blow you away.
