I just needed to share this in a place where people would understand why I’m so excited. 😂 I started my little cottage bakery 8 months ago, and I never expected to see over $6K in sales this soon. I know that's not a huge number in the business world, but for one person baking, decorating, answering messages, ordering supplies, packaging everything, doing pickups, marketing, etc… all from home while still doing the rest of life, I’m really proud of this. 🥹 I’m definitely learning where my physical capacity is as a one-woman business, and I’m still a ways from maxing it out. But it’s also made me start thinking differently about what growth could look like. I don’t necessarily want “more orders” to always be the answer. My next goal is learning how to build a more passive/scalable income stream within the same cookie world so that growth doesn’t always require more hours standing in my kitchen. Anyway… I’m just really excited! Eight months ago I had no idea if people would even buy my baked goods or attend my cookie decorating classes. And now I’m looking at this thinking, "okay… maybe this really can become something." Cheers to growth and curiosity in business! 🎊🎉🌱

Another weekend, another chance to show up for each other! Same game as always... bring your one-liner, graphic, CTA, whatever you want eyes on. ⚠️ Quick reminder: 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱!

The best rounds are the ones where everyone's playing both sides. 🏆 Shoutout to last round's winner: @Jenny Rader-Bakos! She helped 8 different members get clarity on their pitch across 45 comments... showing up over and over, in the trenches with people, not just dropping a quick note and moving on.

About 30 people in America call 911 every day to ask for help with this. What is it? @Kristi Rieke

My cousin has officially come back to Skool 🎉 and she’s working on a project that requires a little market research. @Heidi Marie tried asking this question over on Facebook and, well... apparently Facebook decided she must be trying to spam or sell something instead of simply asking a research question. 🤦‍♀️ So I told her, bring it over here. We have a community full of business owners, creators, bakers, makers, and people with all kinds of random tools and resources, so let’s see if we can help her out. Her question: How many of you either OWN a 3D printer or have access to one and use it to print your own cookie cutters? She’s working on a little project, and your answers would help tremendously! Even if your answer is just “Yep, I do!” or “I have access to one!”, drop it below 👇 and let’s show her how we do market research over here on Skool. 🫶 You can see what she does on Facebook Little Miss Gluten Free or through her website https://littlemissgf.com
