➡️ success varies from person to person and it also can change over time. Success to me when I first opened my bakery, was to earn an extra $100 month. It then moved to, earning enough to send our 3rd child to preschool and It has continued to change over time. It should, because we are always growing and changing. I always set goals for myself that challenge me. I don’t make them completely unattainable but also, hard enough to push me. Do you set monthly, yearly goals for your business? How has the success of your business change over the years? How did you rate success early in your journey? Is it different now? Remember, success will look different to everyone. It’s not a one size fits all. Don’t get caught up on how big or successful other businesses are. Focus on your business and what you want to see from it this year and go from there. Comparison is the killer of all dreams. You cannot compare your year 1 business to some else’s year 5 and so forth. Set goals for your week, month and year and build a successful business according to YOUR guidelines! You have so many people cheering you on! 🥰 Who’s ready to tackle new goals and growth in 2025? #smallbusiness #successfulmindset #goals #successfulbusiness #growth #guiltypleasures #bakery #womanownedbusiness

Cake is an ART 🎨 . . . When someone asks me if they can place a rush order. Nope! 🙃 . . This is definitely an art and it requires time and patience and quite honestly, you wouldn't want to purchase a rushed cake. Just sayin 🤷🏼‍♀️ . This is a craft and it takes many years to perfect and even more years to stay current on the latest trends 🥰 #baking #cakedecorator #cottagebakery #SupportSmallBusiness #homebaker #berkeleycountywv #cake #buttercream #guiltypleasures

When I get asked this? . . . How do you work full time, run a business, and raise a family? . . It's a schedule! I thrive on a schedule. During the week I'm up at 4:45am. I schedule my baking days to my decorating days, to my pick-up days, and so forth. I know my work schedule, and I work everything around that. Is it hard most days, YES! but is it rewarding when someone loves the cake and cupcakes I made specifically for them? Absolutely, it is! . . So, if you're on the fence about starting your own business, just know this. You can do it! You can make it work! And maybe one day, you can inspire the next person ✨️ #birthday#supportsmallbusiness#bakery#inspiration #reels #cake #cakedecorator #fall #guiltypleasures #baking Guilty Pleasures

Is there anyone else here? I love my community, but social media presence stresses me out. I try to keep up with the algorithm and trending songs and reels, but... . . It's hard It's time-consuming It's downright stressful . . I understand it's world we live in, but it's hard to always stay relevant in an always changing world. I bake, but I have to remember to record. Then, I forget to record and struggle with reel ideas. Does anyone else relate to this feeling? Honesty is always here 💯 #cake #supportsmallbusiness #bakery #cakedecorator #reels #socialmedia #struggle #honesty #community

Are you in? . . . . Check out these reviews ♥️ . . Not only do I love what I do, but honestly, YOUR satisfaction brings me the MOST joy 🤗 . . I'm not sure if I'm the only one that notices this, but customer service post covid has gone down the 🚽 so I am determined to keep mine up ⬆️. I remember when customer service was a top priority for businesses, but now, it seems to not matter so much. . . Have you guys noticed this, too? I would rather spend my money at a place that values it. That values me as the consumer. Here, every interaction is personal and tailored to your requests and / or needs. You will never be just a number. You are my client. Whether we make the sale or not, I value YOU. That will never change. ♥️

I can't say no!!😳 . . . . . . I hate turning down business. That is probably in the top 5 things I hate doing as a business owner. Can anyone relate? I love what I do, so I am one who will over commit and tell myself I have time. I can do it. When in all, actually, I should have better limits. I know. How do you guys allocate your time? Between business, family, work etc. Or are you like me and always think I have more time. What's one more cake?!?! Right? 🙃🧁🤗 Haha. I may never learn. 😉#cake #supportsmallbusiness #woman #brownhoodie #brown #reels #birthday #buttercream #bakery #godisgood #passion #commitment #time
