@vaughn I love your story so much. Having met you in person - it is obvious you were born to teach. Thanks for sharing!
@Steve_Fanning What an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing. It's so incredible to hear what people have overcome to find success. You truly are an inspiration.
I actually started out making cakes as a hobby, which I would donate to charitable events, children's homes and church events. Individuals attending these events would always ask me for my business card. When I told them that I do not have a business, that this is a hobby and donation, they would always encourage me to make it a business and a career.
My passion for baking started at the early age of 6 years old when I made my first cake, standing on a little step-stool in the kitchen with my Mom. I can still remember, it was an orange flavored cake. It was wonky and wobbly but I felt like a 'Pro' :-)
I found Thumbtack while searching the internet for advertising options for my business. I'm currently a home-based business and my goal is to have my storefront within the next year. Yes, I live and breath cake everyday and that's all I want to do :-)
Thansk Thumbtack!
@SweetKreations a fellow cake maker! I love it. It does take a great deal of passion. And I'm so inspired by the way you got your start. I look forward to seeing how your business unfolds!

I need some guidance on Instant Match. This is a my second time trying it and it seems again that I am receiving less leads using IM. What am I doing wrong?
Hi @SweetKreations if you'd like to direct message me the email address that you use for your Thumbtack account, I'd be happy to look in to it for you!
Otherwise, I would just suggest really diving in to your settings and making sure you have everything set up the way you want it.
Hi DustiO,
Yes, I will direct message you. Thanks.
My name is Ethan McGhee and I am a personal trainer here in the capital city of Columbus and I am very excited to announce this exciting endeavor to share about myself and my exciting journey with my awesome brand Fire Starter Training LLC.
Born: Arlington, Va
I have been involved in fitness from managing gyms to personal training for the last 5 years.
The reason why I do it? It’s way of outreach for me! To see people grow in their fitness goals and personal lives, not many jobs allow you to do both, and after being involved in sports and pushing forward after a grade 3 ruptured kindey during sports in my early years I have had again the drive and passion to get others to their ultimate fitness level!!
Future plans.
I plan to branch out west with my homebase always in Columbus, Oh . Ill keep a focus on calisthenics and sports performance to truly push people and see them push past their limits. Long term goal is to one day have my own studio.
While training I want to incorporate my passion of missionary work to bring even more blessings and passion into that avenue of life!!! Favorite thing about Columbus, Oh :
The community involvement and events that come with living downtown.
The beautiful view of the scioto river and skyline of our city is up there for me too!
