In this Episode:
Do you have a “pipe dream?” Do you wonder if you have what it takes to make it a reality? My guest today, Nadine Levin, is the Founder & CEO of Pipe Dream Cupcakes. She was going through a life transition while working in Advertising for over 15 years. In 2012 she decided that she could keep doing what she knew how to do well — as she was the number 1 sales person for years in a row, or she could try to make her “pipe dream” a reality. She chose her dream!

Nadine’s 3 best pieces of advice for launching your Pipe Dream:
1. Do your homework /research – know what you are getting yourself into.
2. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. Don’t listen to the naysayers or let other people discourage you.
