Hello everyone! My name is La'Precious and welcome to my blog Precious Sweets. Today I am going to talk about being patient.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a patient person. I am not a patient person because I want what I want when I want it. Although, I am learning that having what I want when I want it is not the best thing for me. For example, I would love for my bakery to be open so that I can serve people my baked goods and earn money, but I am not ready. Being ready is really the key thing to remember when being patient. Being patient and waiting allows you to grow and develop into the person that you need to become before you can have what you want. When it comes to developing, it's not like morphing where it happens without your control. Developing is when you become disciplined in the decisions that you make and the things that you do. I would say that when it comes to baking there is a lot I still need to learn. Right now I just need to refresh myself on the basics. When it comes to baking a cake out of a box I can do it as long as I follow the directions. When it comes to baking from scratch that is where I mess up. I can not freestyle anything to save my life when it comes to baking! I either don't put enough in the recipe or I put too much in the recipe! Hopefully, one day I will be able to master this. I love how on Cupcake Wars the contestants are able to whip up such amazing flavors from scratch. I would love to be able to do that.
Even though I would like to open my bakery right now, I can't. As I have been planning for my bakery I realize that it will take years to open the bakery. At first I was discouraged by that because I am 21 years old and I want to be wealthy already! Although, I know that it is just not time to open up a bakery right now because there is a lot that I need to go through and experience before I can put that ''Open'' sign up.

Getting My Start and Being Able to Stand Out
Hey everybody! I hope that everyone has had a good week. Today I will be talking about getting started as a baker and being able to stand out.
Honestly, I haven't been baking on a consistent basis. The reason why I have not been baking on a consistent basis is because I have not had the money to bake. It's easy for a person to tell another person that if they want to bake then bake but when you don't have the money to bake it's hard. To bake from scratch it can be pricy depending on the kind of money you make. I want to bake from scratch but in order to bake from scratch that can be about $50 or $60. I have other expenses to pay for so in order for me to bake I would literally have to save to bake from scratch. Although, I would like to be able to make a living and bake at the same time in the future. So, I will bake but I can only bake every now and then to get my baked goods out there.
Another issue that I am having is being able to stand out. At the moment I don't want to tell what kind of pastries I plan on selling. Although, I am going to have to come up with a strategy to stand out amongst other bakers. It's not easy starting a business and being able to stand out. It's also not easy being a baker and being able to stand out and be successful because there are so many people that want to copy other people's strategies and products just so that they can make a bigger profit. I just don't like it when people can't be original and do there own thing and not try to copy other people. It's annoying and it causes unnecessary competition. I hate competition. It makes it hard for business people to work together to uplift one another. Hopefully, I will find a way to stand out and be successful without getting involved in unnecessary competition. Well, that's all for now. Be sure to read my next blog post next Monday. Be blessed!
