A real life example of an
impassioned visionary, Sumner Davenport began her career at
age nine when she opened her first lemonade stand and a
backyard carnival. Throughout her childhood she was
inspired by the successful business people she saw.
She used this early education as a foundation when she
started
her first of many unique and interesting entrepreneurial
ventures at age 19.
One of the greatest lessons she learned and
one that she “nags” about to aspiring entrepreneurs
is the importance of focus and having a plan.
Since childhood Sumner has enjoyed an unquenchable thirst for
knowing the answers to life. Questioning the "norm" has brought
her the most interesting, adventuresome and inspiring answers.
She encourages others to question their premature cognitive
commitments and discover their own truth for their lives.
Her deepest passion is
seeing
people live the life of their dreams while assisting others to
do the same. |

"Struggle ends
where
commitment begins."

"Living your life
through Gratitude,
is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else;
or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve.
Living your life through Gratitude, is seeing that the world
would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it."

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us
'Universe'; a part limited in time and space.
He
experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest-- a kind of
optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion
is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and affection for a few persons
nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circle of comparison to
embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in
its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this
completely but striving for such achievement is, in
itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation
for inner security”
- Albert Einstein ~
