#Ep 32: How To Overcome- "It's Already Been Done Before"

Ever wanted to try something new in your baking business but had the feeling that it's already been done before, the market is saturated or there is too much competition?I meet so many bakers who want to do something in their baking business but they have all had these thoughts.If that's you then this is for you. Today on the podcast I invited NaTasha Orumbie of The Bakers Squad. Natasha created an amazing coaching business despite the fact that it has already been done before. When Natasha starting teaching I had already been a bakery business coach for years along with tons of others, but guess what? She didn't let that stop her. She decided to share her gift with others too and I'm so glad she did.Today we are discussing how to deal with thoughts of competition, imposter syndrome and wanting to try something new but being afraid because - it has already been done before. I hope this episode inspires you to step into your purpose despite the fact that someone else is doing the same things that you want to do. Your gifts and talents deserved to be shared with the world and I hope NaTasha and I can inspire you today to do so.Want to keep up with Tasha?

# Ep:28 3 Lessons To Learn From Crumbl Cookies (even though they use box mix)

Recently Crumbl Cookies was in the news as a Tik-Toker visited their store and noticed that they use box mix for their ingredients. While I love a good box mix, I understand how people can presume because you charge a certain price that maybe you bake from scratch even when you don't. However, regardless of if you are team box mix or not, my take is that it doesn't matter what you use just as long as you make a profit while making your customers happy.So rather than jumping on the bashing bandwagon(because that's not what Baking For Business is about!) I thought we can look at what lessons we can learn from Crumbl regardless of the fact that they use a box. Because at the end of the day they have an amazing recipe for success and that is something we can all use more of.In this episode we will learn:How to view a problem from a different lensWhat 3 components make Crumbl successfulWhat lessons we can learn from Crumbl How to approach negativity in our business and much moreReady to get a whole years worth of content done for you?
