How Mignon Francois Turned Her Last $5 into a $10 Million Cupcake Empire

How can you find success without a recipe, without a business degree, and without a dime to spare? Mignon Francois, founder & CEO of The Cupcake Collection and author, was a stay at home mom drowning in debt and stuck in a house with no electricity when she had the idea to start a cupcake business. After spending her last $5 on cupcake ingredients, she began to multiply her profits to $10 million. She shares the biggest lessons from her book Made From Scratch, including how to bet on yourself when all the odds are stacked against you, how to have courage to accept the limited time offer from your creator, how to be a lighthouse for your community, how to see the joy in whatever your circumstances are, and how to let yourself fully shine.

I visited her shop The Cupcake Collection in Nashville in July this year and can attest to them being the best cupcakes I have ever had. The sweet potato pie is amazing! I had no idea I was tasting a miracle until now. I just knew I had to read her book Made from Scratch: Finding Success Without a Recipe! I just downloaded a copy on Kindle today. So glad I found this podcast too! Thanks for sharing!

What a conversation and beautiful exchange! Wish you shipped to Hong Kong! Or better yet your brand needs to go international. Think about that.

Dearly love your conversation❤I am so touched and find freedom and healing in this convo.. I think it’s important to say what we ask for from God will bring it IF it aligns with his will with his desires. His desire was to feed his daughter and her children to show her he is her provider and joy giver, her husband. He wants to get the glory in all of this success and he knew mignon would be faithful to give him glory to get many to put their hope in Him! So read his word and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to you in his word so that you hear God with every step you take towards your dream. If that dream will bring him glory it’s a yes of it’s just to provide for your family it’s a yes if it’s to become more self centered and love money more or fame he may allow it or not but you may not want it anymore bc you can’t find him in it. She already knew the father and already had Holy Spirit in her to direct her in everything. Let God reveal his grace and forgiveness to you. That’s the start and then press into asking him the desires of your heart bc then it will align with his desires and will give you success❤

her last $5 turned into a great business, when David went to fight Goliath he took 5 stones with him ❤️
