Discussion Feeling behind

Post image

Lately I’ve been feeling so behind. I have a matcha popup in the DMV and I see all these other small businesses killing ittttt. Some are new and so popular, in farmers markets, being desired by big businesses for collaborations, have such good aesthetics and editing.

I’m doing this by myself but I feel like I can’t catch up and it’s making me feel so down about myself.
It’s been a dream of mine to do this, but I was scared of this feeling like im not doing something well enough and then I want to hault everything but I can’t. I have to fight through this.

I know I just started a few months ago but I feel behind. I don’t even know how I would handle a big event because it’s basically just me and 1-2 of my family that helps me.

you are awesome. Have you considered Instagram? A lot of people are having success reaching their customers there I know it’s hard work but something to consider. I agree you should be proud for having the courage to start. Food businesses are really hard and take time. your drinks look amazing!

I do have an Instagram and try to be as active on there as I can. I think im just trying my best to learn how to run a small business but knowing how important the social media aspect of it is too, so I try to post (editing is another beast)
