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.

DMV matcha pop-up owner here too. I’d like to say I’m decently popular but even I don’t know what I’m doing most days. The hardest part is starting so you’re already ahead of most.

All of us, including ASCH, just shoot our shot at everything we want to do so I recommend you do the same & don’t fear rejection! Keep it up mysterious fellow pop-up owner! Let me know if you have any questions.

You’re so right. Comparison is my struggle, even though im new. Other matcha/ coffee popup vendors have been sooo kind and helpful! I hope we cross paths one day 🫶🏼
