Default How did you decide what your business would be?

Did you "fall" into it, or did you say, this would be fun?

Was this something that you dreamed about and you planned and planned? Do you think you will continue this for a long time?

Was it just a fun hobby that you found you could actually make money off of...following your passion?

I pretty much started it as a hobby and EVERYONE that tasted any of my cooking said I needed to go into business. It has taken on a totally different twist from what I expected it to have been a few years ago. I had niched myself with basically two products and now the sky is the limit!

It is not a legal business in CA unless I cook out of a commercialized kitchen, but there ar plenty of people that are willing to buy from me knowing I am doing it out of my house. I prefrence it with they are not allowed to sue me - I don't charge for time, only ingredients and supplies. This way I can say I was just helping them out. If they tip me then that is on their own accord. They will be shocked at my prices once I am legit.

I really fell into it.. My friend had a show a couple months after I had my 2nd dd. I went, didn't have any money to spend since I wasn't going back to work. So I booked a show. The girl doing the show talked about the opp. and told me how much I would have made that night if I did what she did. So I thought about it for a couple days.I wouldn't have to work during the day, could make my on schedule... I had nothing to lose. The kit was inexpensive and if I didn't like it I could keep the jewelry.
Well I have been selling for over 2 1/2years now and LOVE IT!!!!
