The Sweet Life

Recently, good friends made a dream come true. They looked beyond fear, and took a leap of faith toward their future. They officially launched their start-up business, The Sweet Life Donut Stop.

For as long as I can remember Jill has always loved popcorn, and thought about a future business around the popular snack. When she finally announced her and husband Dan had been thinking about starting a donut business, our group of friends were pleasantly surprised. Someone asked, “Jill, have you ever made donuts before?” She responded, “No”……we all laughed.

Over the last year they have been praying, planning, organizing and getting ready for the day. The week prior to the launch, they hosted a soft opening and invited friends and family to sample the donuts. Jill and Dan thought of everything to make a customer’s experience special. One look and I knew it would be a big hit at a local farmer’s market.

I was so impressed by the thoughtful detail, right down to the hand-stamped paper bags with The Sweet Lifelogo. They are serving delicious mini cinnamon donuts (cinni-minis) made fresh while you wait, but more important they are doing it with a grateful heart. They are also giving back a portion of their proceeds to a wonderful charity, Feed My Starving Children. I have no doubt they will succeed beyond their wildest dreams. They took one step at a time, trusted their hearts, and took a giant leap forward.

What do your dreams look like? Are you letting fear stop them, or are you taking one step at a time, getting closer to your dream? Have faith, trust your heart, and fly. Now is the time…..you can do it!

Let The Sweet Life Donut Stop be your inspiration.
