    Wife’s new business adventure

    After convincing her to leave her old
    Job in marketing and occupational therapy due to toxic ownership and other issues with owners / managers not keeping their word, she has started her own gig. She’s always wanted to do something creating custom gifts for folks among other things.

    So far she has taken on baking cupcakes, cookies and selling custom gift baskets for any occasion.

    She’s been surprisingly busy doing this while also substitute teaching at boys school. In one weekend she baked 16 dozen cupcakes.

    It’s been an adjustment but the stress level for her has been greatly reduced and changed.

    Had to come brag on her a little.

            Let me know and I’ll get you in touch with her. The way she’s been doing things, you give her a budget and some ideas of what she likes or anything specific you want included and she puts a basket or gift together for you. Of course she will send details ahead of time for approval.

                    Good deal. That baking can be a chore. My wife last year perfected a cookie recipe and decorates cookies by hand. To spare a long story, she was sometimes up until 2-3am finishing up cookies, and it made for a long day. I’ve told my wife to get a schedule and to stop taking “rush orders,” and its helped, but last week she baked and decorated 6-dozen cookies for one of the elementary schools. Tell your wife good luck and, oh, charge a competitive price, as my wife isn’t....

                      That was one thing I did make sure of. Being in sales myself, I know margins are everything. If you sell it for $2 but it cost $2.25 to make, it’s not a good sell. Not every sale will be a good sale if you don’t protect your margins.
