How To Deal With Lack of Support

In the beginning stages of your bakery when you're just thinking about it, there are usually a lot of people cheering you on. Unfortunately, those people seem to fade away as your business starts. I've even had people do a 180 and tell me what a horrible idea it was.

How do you deal with these kinds of people, Momma?

I could say ignore them, but that's not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes it's close friends or family that turn to the dark side, but one thing you have to think about, are they always like that? Do they lift you up and crash you back down? I've noticed that some of my relative will never be happy with anything I do, but when I told them my idea of starting a bakery they thought it would help me to cheer me on, then as I got more into it, they started downing my dream.
It hurts. It really does. But also think if this is what you truly want. Some people aren't very nice, but they may be trying to help you. Think of the pro's and con's of starting a bakery. Do you have the start up essentials? Financially, physically, and emotionally? You have to be prepared to put in 16 hours a day if you have to. 16 Hours a day for weeks on end can make or break a person. Again, if you believe you can do it, I say go for it!

However, let's say if an old flame puts you down, you know they're just jealous. You're doing something with your life that you love to do. It'd make anybody jealous!

If things start to get overwhelming, and you don't have someone to talk to, I'm always here. Any baker in need is welcome to talk to me with open arms. Explain your situation to me and I will try my hardest to lift your spirits, no guarantees of course, but I will try my hardest. I know how hard the lows of this proffession can get but with two baking minds combined, we're bound to come up with a solution! You can reach me on my facebook : Momma's Facebook or at my email ashleyndecker909@hotmail.com. I check everything everyday! Sometimes even three or four times a day! Make sure to include your name, a brief description of your problem (or even just to say Hi to Momma), where you're located and Title the message: Momma Help! or Hi Momma! That way I know it's not spam :))
