I never realized how involved starting a bricks and mortar company truly was. Especially in this day and age that we live in. Everything revolves around the internet, this technology highway that can connect me to more people than I could ever imagine. I have dreams of me sitting at a desk with 10 computer screens, all on my web page, with orders pouring in faster than I can get them out. Having to get a warehouse and a production plant, because of the vast networking abilities of the internet. It amazes me how this unbelievable shmooze engine has brought the old school way of, word of mouth, to a whole new level.
With cupcakes being all the new rage right now, and people wanting to do something different and original at their parties. I have definitely come in at the right time. The saying is, 'out with the old, in with the new'!! Cakes are a thing of the past and why not have fun again, enjoy life and what it has to offer. Personalizing something makes all the difference in the world, especially in the eyes of a child. When they get to do things for themselves, to see their look of pride and accomplishment, is priceless!
So as I putter along putting together Icing on the Cupcake, one brick at a time. I realize just what I have gotten myself involved in. Definitely not something that should be approached lightly, which in the beginning is what I did. The background work that I have been doing, and continue to do is basically the mortar, and without that the whole thing will fall apart.
I am taking a huge leap in life, where the ground that would normally be beneath me, is not there. It is by far the scariest yet the most exciting thing I have ever delved into. I can't believe it took me so long to realize who I was, and where the universe was taking me. All it took was me to truly listen to my heart and open my eyes, and when I did it was like, SHA-BAM!!
If there is anything that I can pass on to the next generation, or someone that wants to take that plunge is, do it. Listen to your heart and follow your dreams, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing and reaping the rewards from something that is all your own.
