Tell us about yourself
I entered this business coincidentally, It was my mom's birthday, and I had no clue what to get the woman who has everything. I remembered the phrase, "It's the thought that counts," knowing that I came up with the idea to make her a sweets basket entirely customized for her. I posted it and got inquiries and orders and shortly made the local newspaper. It quickly turned into a passion of mine, so I decided to take all of the steps necessary to turn this hobby into a successful business. The customers' pure joy when I turn their vision into a reality and the constant support from other businesses, friends, and family are the main sources of motivation to continue this business every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner would be that I was able to turn what I love into a full-time job.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing that comes with being a business owner is the mental toll. It can change your aspect on people, overwhelm you or even cause you to doubt your work. Over time I've learned there will be great days and there will be not-so-great days. Appreciate the fact that you turned nothing into something! As long as you are consistent, dedicated, and determined, you will overcome any hardship you may face.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Stay Consistent - this will increase the success of your business in every way.
- Be Resourceful - learning ways to quickly find solutions to problems that may arise.
- Customer Service - your business solely depends on customers, and their satisfaction keeps that in mind.
