Shame Shame Shame on me!
Hello, it’s been far too long! Let’s just say not having the internet has
proven to be a bigger problem than I expected. Right now I am on a plane headed
to Las Vegas! It’s our National Convention with 5LINX! I couldn’t be happier,
it was a close call. The challenges from April didn’t stop just because May
showed up. I wasn't able to purchase my ticket until just THREE days ago! With
so many things getting in my way; I never for one moment gave up on finding a
way to this convention. It was the Morning Prayer call that lifted my spirits
when I was at my most frustrated level. Thank GOD for the great team I have! I’ll
fill you in on what’s been happening and how the convention went later. Today,
as promised, I want to Spotlight a fellow entrepreneur, a longtime friend and
one creative Momma!
I caught up with Mrs. Anita Beeghley
of Make it Sweet Cakery, while in the process of filling a cake order for prom
and a birthday party. She was so excited to have found her stride, being able
to complete an order in mere hours opposed to all day event. Anita has been
making cakes for a little over a year but started fueling her passion of
crafting in 2008 creating homemade soaps. With four children and a husband to
say this is one busy lady is an
understatement! You can catch Anita in local and national cake competitions, check
out Makeitsweetcakerybyanita on FB to see some award winning cakes!
Mia: Anita thanks so much for taking some time for me today.
I know you enjoy being creative, what made you decide to take that passion and
go into business for yourself?
Anita: I don’t like making money for other people. And this
allows me to spend more time with my children and watch them grow-up.
Mia: What would you say was/is the biggest challenge going
from working for others and being an entrepreneur?
Anita: You must have a positive mindset that’s for sure. You
have so many obstacles to conquer and if you are negative you will fail at any
business. And discipline, with my children at home it can make it very
challenging to complete a task with them competing for your attention.
Mia: I certainly
understand that. You have so many talents when it comes to crafting, what are
some of things you have mastered?
Mia: Wow, talk about a wide range of creative outlets. What
would you say is your favorite?
Anita: I’ll have to say I enjoy making cakes more as each
cake is a different creation and it gives me more creative freedom.
Mia: I know you’re
creating as we speak so as promised I’ll keep this short. Before we part please
tell us how to get our hands on your creations.
Anita: You can like my Fan Page on Facebook orders can be
placed there or on Etsy.com
Mia: Thank you so much for your time I look forward to
seeing the final product for your cake order!
Please take some time to visit MakeItSweetCakerybyAnita on
FB and etsy.com. You’ll find pictures of more cakes and sweets, inspirational quotes
and funny photos/sayings. I would also like to add that Ms. Anita is one heck
of a vocalist! Look out for her next vocal contest entry and vote vote vote!
My next installment will take you on my adventures in
VEGAS!!! Until next time, Have a GREAT day on PURPOSE!!
