So its been exactly a year since i posted last. I dunno what i was on that night/day but i was on a roll. On the same day last year that i wrote my last blog post, i also took the plunge and set up my own business. I set up a Facebook page, ordered business cards and started designing a website. All on that same night. And now its been a year and i find myself thinking was it even worth the time spent awake. I have had some moderate success at Christmas time with my business ( i make and sell artisan confections and baked goods) and some small orders for birthdays or weddings. But it hasn't taken off as well as i thought. Not that i was planning to quit my day job over it or expecting to become a millionaire over night making fudge and cookies. But i thought that i would be a little bit further along the ladder of success.
I have been making and selling my creations for over 3 years now and have always gotten positive feedback. People love my stuff, buy it in bulk at Christmas time and tell all their family and friends about me. Now i wonder was that all for show. If people truly liked my stuff, they would buy it. They wouldn't need to wait for the fattening that is Christmas, they would just buy it for a Saturday night junk food binge session.
But alas that is not how it is. Sometimes i go so long between orders i almost forget how to make the stuff, like if i don't get an order for macarons the recipe just falls out of my head.
I'm not ready to give it up but i am already finding myself no longer pushing as hard. I need to be reset, just unplug me and wait a few seconds. Maybe all i need is sleep, but that sounds like crazy talk
I don't think anyone reads this but if you do.... whats up? do you like chocolate? i'll send you some
