This one’s for the haters 🫶
I did it! Another year blessed to do what I love. 💕
I’ve been taught to stay humble and keep quiet but not this time.
Over the years I’ve heard so many negative comments.
How I wouldn’t last one year in business after opening my bakery…
“Good luck trying to sell your cakes”
“How are you going to make it?!”
“You should do this, instead”
“We don’t need another bakery downtown”
“What did you do to convince the landlord to give you the space” the only one time this business owner ever came to my shop and just to tell me this in my face, like seriously?!
As if I needed to beg or try to convince anyone. This individual was bitter they didn’t get my space over me. I know all the businesses that tried to take this space trying to convince my landlord they’d be a better fit, and possibly so but I’m beyond grateful that my landlord saw something in me that I yet didn’t see at the time. I’ll never forget his kind words.
I’m beyond grateful to him for giving me the opportunity over so many other businesses.
To all my amazing customers and supporters I’m standing strong with all your support🥹💕🙏🏼
If you lack the courage to follow your dreams and feel the need to put down others or talk poorly of an individual with a business trying to fight for their dreams, that just shows your true character. I hope you find peace and one day find happiness in your own journey.
