The fear of rejection or complete failure is always present in my mind. As I start something new I am nervous. Will the work be worth it? So many hours & ideas have gone into my new business venture.
I have always had an eye for detail & creativity & I wanted to learn new skills & ways of expressing what I am interested in. I also wanted to create a passive income for my family. I am no stranger to how the world is constantly evolving & if we don’t keep up we will eventually be left behind.
So much changed when COVID started. The world became addicted to the World Wide Web. And we had to find a way to make an income from home.
I own two cafes with my husband & during COVID we had to put our thinking caps on & redesign the way we did business. For the first time we started online ordering & delivery. I realise that this was a thing before COVID but for a small business in a country town with only 2000 people it was something very new & exciting!
I taught myself how to create websites, online ordering portals & apps. I had to input all the data & teach myself ASAP otherwise our small cafe wouldn’t survive. I knew that our customers wanted to support us so we had to find a way to get our product to them.
It’s from this knowledge base that I have created my new website Sugar & Shine. While our cafes are doing well I always want to teach myself new things & keep my brain processing. If you’re wondering whether you should give the online sales space a try this is your opportunity. There has never been a better time to capitalise on your skills in the online space. Just give it a go. Everything I know today has been self taught through google searches, YouTube videos, TikTok tutorials & more!
Thank-you so much for visiting my website & I hope you enjoyed the read. I welcome any comments & feedback. 🫶🏻
