In talking with Anne, her story of innovation is remarkable. Born into an Amish family, she started selling pretzels at a farmers’ market stand. From there, the business has grown to 1700 locations around the globe.
However, it was not an easy path. This required the power to overcome obstacles, strong passion, and a position of influence. “Out of pain, purpose was formed!” She learned that she would never be able to do anything with what she didn’t have. So she decided to not be jealous, complain, or whine. Instead, she was determined to focus on what was available to her. She actually received an honorary doctorate before her high school diploma at age 50.
As a leader, she builds her people…and they build her company. She believes in social entrepreneurship, and giving back financially with intention. Finding her specific purpose, it is the gasoline in that makes her life go!
What is your purpose?
