She turned her last $5 into a $10M cupcake business | Mignon Francois

Francois Mignon was on the verge of homelessness when she used her last $5 to buy ingredients for cupcakes. After selling that batch to neighbors, she used the profits to make more cupcakes, eventually turning that initial $5 into a multi-million dollar cupcake business. Francois is the mother of six, founder of The Cupcake Collection, and author of "Made from Scratch: Finding Success without a Recipe".

In this episode of the "Success is a Choice" podcast, Francois talked with host Jamy Bechler about refusing to be a victim in life, lessons learned, and how to make amazingly delicious cupcakes with no calories ... just kidding about the calorie thing.
