info_outlineIt was such a pleasure to interview Bonnie Gillespie. I enjoyed the conversation and took away so many pearls of wisdom, as I hope you will.
Bonnie built her business and her fulfilling lifestyle by helping other people step into their greatness. She discovered that's what her true greatness was, although she is multi-talented and we chat about how exactly she discovered the path to follow her true greatness. For many of us who are multi- talented this can be quite a tough choice.
Bonnie shares from behind the scenes of building a successful business and lifestyle from the values of love and giving, adding value to people's lives. She's one of the most loving and giving people I've experienced. She's like the Dalai Lama of Hollywood and entrepreneurship and beyond.
