  • We almost missed posting on #nationaldonutday - there seems to be some confusion about whether it was yesterday or it’s today, but either way, crisis averted 🍩🍩🍩 And while we’re here, who spells it doughnut, & who spells it donut? 🤔

  • Just finished reading “Believe It” by @jamiekernlima, the founder of IT Cosmetics, over the weekend. Jamie set out to tell the story of starting her company from the beginning, including all the highs & lows, joys & sorrows, the dozens of times she heard “no”, citing that so often, all we hear about is the success stories. In one of the last pages of the book, Jamie writes “So many people asked me how I started a business with an idea, with almost no money, in my living room, and grew it into a billion-dollar company. I worked really, really hard and I didn’t give up, but the most important thing I did...was believe that I could.” While this sounds like such a simple concept, anyone who has started a business knows it’s far from simple. This book is a great read about how to listen to your own intuition, & “turn the volume down” on your critics, including the one that is often the loudest...ourselves. We hear from so many of our students that they were intimidated about working with chocolate, that it seemed really difficult. One of our biggest goals with our programs has always been to instill the knowledge that helps our students gain confidence to believe in their vision, & in their ability to bring it to life. As we start a new week, after a year that has tested so many of us in unimaginable ways, we hope Jamie’s words are a comforting reminder to anyone who needs to hear them today. Thank you @jamiekernlima for this real & inspiring book ❤️
