Author, Publisher Speaker 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 met and interviewed.  She used this early education as a foundation when she started her first of many unique and interesting entrepreneurial ventures at age 19.    Her deepest passion is to see people empowering others while living the life of their dreams.    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 advocateSelf investment, not self improvement.  She has been knocked down so many times because of the risks she is willing to take, that she coined a phrase, gives presentations and has another soon to be released book titled "Rubber Butt". She is sought after as a speaker on several topics. One of Sumner’s quotes was voted to be included in the Top 10 Healthy Thoughts of 2007.    Her passion for the future of today’s youth, and a belief that our future is in their hands, Sumner works with select charitable organizations that assist young people with their career options.   In her book,  Stress Out, show stress who''s the boss, Sumner brings together co-authors, professional counselors, coaches, stories and testimonials to provide a variety of solutions to stress. This book is praised by corporations as the best promotional gift, and charities are applauding it as the easiest fundraising tool ever. Her previous book  The "G" Spot, The Ecstasy of Life Through Gratitude, was released in 2008 internationally with resounding success.     Read comments from Sumner's clients and students
