Do you have a passion? Do you ever think about turning your passion into a business? Melissa Convertino loves fashion. She shares how she turned her passion for fashion into a business. She’s been passionate about it throughout her entire life. She even went to school for it, but life intervened to make her passion less of a priority until she decided a few years ago to start exploring it again. Today she’s a fashion blogger, you can check it out her blog at momwithstyle.com and the co-owner of a local store in the Capital Region of New York State and online shop called Bella V Boutique. This is such a great story on so many different levels! If you are a stay-at-home mom, who has a business idea, but think you could never get it off the ground, Melissa will inspire you. If you have a passion you’ve let languish, Melissas shares why it’s never too late to rekindle it. And most importantly, you’re never going to be truly happy chasing after titles, instead, look deep inside of yourself to discover what makes you really happy. More great lessons in our chat include:  How and why the store she now co-owns started out as a mobile store out of an old UPS truck. How she started to explore her passion for fashion again as a stay-at-home mom by starting a blog. How she met her current business partner by starting to hang with like-minded people.
