Mignon Francois is a speaker, entrepreneur, and community leader who has inspired thousands with her "Follow Your Spirit" approach. After years of drowning in debt and brokenness, Mignon founded The Cupcake Collection in 2008, a business that started from the last five dollars she had to feed her family dinner for one week, and she turned it into a legacy with over 5 million cupcakes sold. Mignon's grassroots story of success has garnered national attention from such media outlets as Today with Hoda and Jenna, Southern Living, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, just to name a few. Today Mignon is committed to teaching anyone who will listen what they can do if only they believe.

Mignon's Notes from the Sidelines:

1. A village of supportive and championing sisters makes all the difference.
2. Nothing just happens. All things are working for your good. Hope leads to opportunity.
3. It won't always be like this.
4. Everybody's challenges are different and they are all hard and real, but you will not be given anything you don't have the capacity to change and bear.
5. "God transcends religion...Religion is our perspective on where we saw the accident happen at the intersection...It's our interpretation."
6. You have to have a vehicle for hope.
7. When facing challenges, know that you are in a season of growth and something big is about to happen.
8. "Speak what you seek 'til you see what you said." The words we say have power. We call HIM into collaboration with us by simply speaking our words. He's always listening, so be careful.
9. You don't have to stay stuck; you don't have to accept current circumstance as a sentence.
10. Hope and doubt are both beliefs - one positive and one negative. Your faith is in the middle, equidistant from both.
11. HELP is a complete and sufficient prayer; you don't need other words because he's all-seeing and all-knowing.
12. After asking for help, knock on the doors of opportunity, and don't stop just because one person says no.
13. God sends us seasons to season us, so be ready when the season changes to do the new thing that has been sent to you.
14. BELIEVE.
