New Recipe

If there is one thing I have to do as an experienced business woman, it is being able to try something new. Over the years, I have had many loyal customers who love my pastry products, which not to mention is unique and exquisitely tasty. But now that I have new customers coming in, I want to be able to give them the satisfaction that they want. It’s not an easy job but I do know that with practice and the right mindset I can achieve my goals in no time.

I love what I do and I love being able to serve people and introduce them to my passion. Sometimes, that is not enough because business-wise, it is expected that I treat my market sensibly considering the changes around us and the lifestyle we adapt from time to time.

Thank God for Voiceville Communications, Inc. they already got a big load off my back and now I can worry about doing something new such as trying out a new recipe. Right now, I am seeking help from my inspirations: famous chefs of all time because they are the reason why I’m here in the first place. My cousin who lives in France has been inviting me for a visit there in order for me to try experiencing the culture and finally be able to capture French taste. I get the idea though, being in a different place and seeing new things and trying out new food sounds like a big influence to a person’s life especially for a person likes me who has been baking all my life. Honestly? I can’t wait to get my hands on some French pastry and if I can create a masterpiece out of that, I know my business will be a success.

Virtual Pastry Chef

Today, I’m very delighted because I finally got a virtual assistant. The outsourcing company I hired handles small-scale businessmen and businesswomen like myself and I’ll be visiting their site to discuss business matters with them. This will also be a good time for me to take a break because I seem to have been doing so much work lately. Anyway, I got it all figured out sooner than I thought since I was clearly very eager to have someone else do the job for me. I’m not getting any younger and I feel as if I have missed a lot of things for years now. So I want to use this opportunity to live my life as normally as I could without compromising my business credibility.

They will be focusing on the micro tasks because I particularly don’t want those areas left behind including finance management and other related fields. My pastry chef is not too big of an establishment just yet but I’m hopeful that we’ll get there. But since we have more customers pouring in everyday and we lack the manpower to cater to them, I personally want to move the business to the next level. Many are venturing in this because convenience and cost-cutting methods are just impressive.

I can’t wait to get it started and see how this newly devised strategy of mine will work on the market. But to be honest, despite their confidence in the quality of their result-driven job, I will not fail to look over things from time to time. This is my business after all and I wouldn’t want to put all my efforts to waste all the more disappoint my loyal customers. If I have to do it on my own again one day, I might as well acknowledge the possibility as soon as today. Being prepared is the least I can do for taking risks. Fortunately, they will be as concise as I would expect in order for me to clearly understand the importance of virtual assistants for a business like mine. Soon, I will share some updates. This is all for now.

I mean Business

My pastry shop has been around for quite some time. I have dealt with tons of problems—problems that are often understood as necessity for a business to flourish. That’s very clear to me indeed, but sometimes when problems arise in different levels; it just gets the best of me. Sometimes, I bite my employees head off; don’t get me wrong but it’s practically normal and a few employers admit this.

On a different note, I’m happier now with how much I’m profiting. It’s not much but it pays the bills and soon enough when I’m ready I’ll probably expand this, open some branches across the state or something. Wishful thinking but it’s a better idea than just sitting there watching time pass by me.

With so many orders and increasing number of customers, I’m thinking maybe I should use a virtual assistant to do some things like accounting tasks. I’m pretty sure this is a big load off my back since I can’t really trust myself to juggle of these things at once. Better to outsource it than complicate it further. I’m looking for the right company and I have been taking my time, pacing things just so I can settle all my affairs in order. Wish me luck.

Pastry Comforts

Baking has always been my passion. The word baking itself has femininity in it that makes you want to explore and taste all the possibilities that sugar can do! In my hometown in Oklahoma, I was known in our neighborhood to bake the best pastries. I have two kids who are all addicted to my chunky chocolate chip cookies, which has a tad bit of similarity of Nestlé’s Toll House Cookies. Not boasting or anything, but that is what they all say.

It may sound like a cliché but I bake my pastries with a secret ingredient called love. I met my husband during our culinary days. Yes. He is also a chef. We met at one of the top schools of Le Cordon Bleu. He studied and pursued Asian Culinary while I mastered in Pastry. My husband travels around the Continent because he is a Chef consultant to many five star hotels. As for me, I started my own small pastry shop. Before my pastry shop, I only accepted orders for special occasions but a lot of my friends convinced me to open my own small pastry shop.

Right now, my shop has five tables and a comfy couch. I have a lot of loyal customers who come in for coffee and cookies every morning. I also have students who studies at my pastry shop. And also the businessmen that uses the Free Wi-fi that I offer in my shop. Being in this millennium, I know that internet is an important factor to business and education. I was shocked and amazed that the shop where I order my ingredients just recently launched their website for their clients’ convenience. Being one of the major suppliers for bakeries, they found an easier way for order processing. They told me to check out their website and try ordering online. To my surprise, there was a pop-out chat asking me if I needed assistance! Imagine that! I thought that it was computer generated but when I asked the owner, she told me that they were outsourcing their chat supports. I don’t know where they come from but they were very efficient. It made things a lot easier and faster. Being in a city that has wi-fi everywhere, I know I have to be a part of the internet world.
