A is for always evolving
2020 is a new year and I of course like to have goals, but truth is, I am terrible at truly sitting down and setting goals. I get in my head way too much. My life has changed dramatically in the last several years by pushing myself harder, being more open and gaining confidence through the chaos that is running a business.
I am figuring a lot of things out and also realizing that I need to focus on working smarter, not harder. I wear a lot of hats (and headbands) and it is challenging to say the least. As a business owner, I want to know my business inside out and do as much as I possibly can. The reality is that in order to enjoy life, maybe get some sleep once in awhile and truly have some time “off”, I need to take some things off my shoulders.
As a person who has carried the weight of everything in my life, this is difficult. I have been single my whole life. I have never had anyone to share the responsibilities of things with, I have always had to just figure it out. I feel like I am doing a pretty damn good job, but at the end of the day, I need a break sometimes.
As I enter 2020, I am running my business 100% on my own with no back up support. I left my full time Pastry Chef job in May 2016 and continued to work part time until October 1, 2019.
it is terrifying, exciting and crazy. I am always learning and evolving in my personal and professional life. I just have to remember how far I have come and that I am eventually going to take a little bit off my shoulders and find some time to rest. Until then, meet me in the kitchen. I pretty much live there:)
I absolutely love that you want to bake and create memories with me. It is my favorite part of my job and my biggest motivator to keep on evolving.
Have the best day ever!
