Hi there,
Few bakers have been
swept to success as quickly as my podcast guest this week.
Only
4 months after starting her sourdough bakery, Chelsa
quit her full-time job to go all-in on her new cottage food business.
And, despite hiring help and continuously adding commercial equipment to her home, she
has not been able to keep up with demand.
In her first year of business,
lines as long as a block would form at her popup events!
Out of necessity, she’s now
switched to doing mostly wholesale to make the business more sustainable.
She now has over 18k Instagram followers, and for Chelsa, the challenge has not been finding customers, but rather finding the balance between prioritizing the business and her young family.
But as I think you'll see, her overwhelming success wasn't exactly luck.
Listen to Episode 88: Beautiful Chaos with Chelsa Smith
Until next week,
David
