My guest this week on The Peace and Possibilities Podcast started out as a consultant, because, as she said when she learned what it meant, "I like that".

Stephanie Hart loved sales and saw what she could be, but she wanted to do her own thing and have no constraints.
\xa0
So after working hard for years, she eventually created Pineapple Coconut cake and people responded with fervor.

Well, the path wasn't actually that simple, as you can imagine. It never usually is, but it's still our path. And we must endure to get to the other side.

From the many challenges Stephanie faced to finally opening her bakery, she has definitely endured a lot to get where she is.
\xa0
Her advice to you? Ask yourself "do you REALLY want to do this?"
\xa0
And something she and I believe with all of our hearts:
\xa0
How you think impacts EVERYTHING!
\xa0
Understanding this is paramount to your success!
