Today’s Small Business of the Day features an interview with Vanessa Valencia. Please find our conversation below.
We’re so inspired by the hard work and creativity of the small businesses that serve as the engines of our communities. Thank you so much for taking the risk and doing what you do. Before we go any further we’d love for you to tell our readers a bit about Nessa’s Goodies.
I am a custom cookie artist. I think what sets me apart is I make edible pieces of art for consumption or to hang on your walls. Not only what I make looks good but it tastes amazing too.
What is the most important lesson you’ve learned building your business that you can share with those just starting out in their entrepreneurial journey?
There are two things that I’ve learned while building my business and it’s to never give up. Anything worth having is worth the risk and the time. The other lesson is don’t compare yourself to others. Comparison is the thief of joy. We all started somewhere. We all have a different pace and style. Be your authentic self. Learn from others, but never compare or diminish yourself and how far you’ve come. Everyone’s journey is different.
Alright, before we go, let’s do a quick lightning round.
