In this episode, we dive into the wild expectations we often have when starting out as entrepreneurs, especially in the cake business. We discuss the harsh reality that success doesn’t come overnight and the importance of hard work, resilience, and patience. I share personal stories about the challenges I faced, from unappreciative friends and family to misguided comparisons with other bakers. Learn why it is important to maintain your value, set appropriate prices, and not rely on loved ones to sustain your business. We also talk about avoiding the pitfalls of comparing yourself to grocery stores or other bakers, understanding your unique value, and embracing the journey of trials and errors. Tune in for some real talk and motivation to keep you focused on your path to success. Don’t forget to follow for notifications on new episodes every Thursday!
