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. Sumner M. Davenport is a Puzzle Master, Solutions Strategist, a best-selling author, publisher, sought after public speaker, and she is quoted often. One of Sumner's quotes was voted to be included in the Top 10 Healthy Thoughts.Although she is the recipient of several awards and acknowledgments, she credits her best education to The University of Hard Knocks, with crash courses in taking risks and advanced learning from bouncing back. For several years Sumner has been an advocate of Self investment, not self improvement. "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." (original quote from book the "G" spot, the ecstasy of life through GRATITUDE)A portion of the proceeds from Sumner's books benefit selected charities. Sumner books are available for print with custom branding for qualifying non-profit groups. Contact her for more information.
