Summary

Being around GiGi truly feels as sweet, magical and light hearted as walking into her world famous cupcake store, GiGi’s. She is fearless. She does what it takes to move herself forward and she is not afraid of risking it all for a dream. Failure is not even something she worries about, because she always knows God is guiding her and something else will be around the corner if a door closes in her face. GiGi’s first business was a cleaning company that she took Nashville when she moved to pursue her dream of singing country music. She tells an amazing story of how she found herself in the house of young Taylor Swift, cleaning her toilet while she was singing “teardrops on my guitar,” before Taylor had become a star. At that moment GiGi decided her dream of being a country music star was over. I love that GiGi preaches a message we don’t hear too often “that there are times in life where you have to let your dreams die in order to realize what you’re really meant to create.” GiGi is an author, she has been on “Undercover Boss,” she has given a TED Talk, and speaks her story and inspires others all over the country.
