While behaving differently, a person can then, over time, begin to transform into a more self-assured person.
    Read the true stories of the author and others as they reveal their journeys and how they reached a new level of self confidence and success.
    We are all capable of more but can’t do it alone. This book will reveal the behaviors and mindset needed to grow confidence and will inspire action. Use this book as a guide and go after your biggest goals, confidently. Let’s go!

  • Susan is the youngest National President of Women in Insurance & Financial Services in the over 80 year history of the organization, a “4 Under 40” by Advisor Today, and one of the “Women of Influence” by New York Business Journal.

    She’s also the founder of Pancakes For Roger Inc.,a not-for-profit corporation that unites veterans with opportunities to help address the unique challenges they face during and after their service…and she does that by asking folks to enjoy a simple pleasure in life…eating pancakes.

    Here’s the backstory: Susan was extraordinarily close with her father, Major General Roger Combs, a Vietnam War veteran who was diagnosed with throat cancer due to Agent Orange exposure, and had to be put on a feeding tube.

    One fateful morning, Roger expressed a simple wish: he wanted to have pancakes for breakfast, but couldn’t, due to his physical condition and limitations.

    After having a pancake breakfast with her family in her father’s memory, Susan decided that she would create a movement to honor and give back to the brave men and women that serve their country.

    It started with a grassroots effort. Then it became a best-selling book. Now it’s a global endeavor that’s making a big difference.

    For every pancake picture posted or tagged on social media with the hashtag #PancakesForRoger, Susan’s non-profit makes a donation in Major General Combs’ name to the Veterans Clinic at the University of Missouri in his hometown.
