6. What does it feel like to have your own business?

I am very blessed to have my business. Sometimes it can be overwhelming with multiple orders and dealing with customers but overall seeing satisfied customers make it all worth it.

7. What steps did you take to start your business?

The first step that I took before starting my business was praying. I never want to leave God out of anything that I do.

I am very spiritual so I have my God lead the way for me. Once I got the ok, I got my logo designed and started practicing treats every week. My husband has been my biggest supporter. From buying supplies and to explaining new ideas for my business has only made me better as a businesswoman. On November 14th, 2019 I launched Riley Pop’s Sweet Shop, LLC and ever since, it has been a blessing to myself and others as well.

8. What advice do you have for someone in their twenties trying to start their business like yours or in general?

A little advice I would give someone striving to become an entrepreneur is to take that leap of faith and just do it! You will never know the outcome if you never try. Follow your dreams and love what you do.

9. What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned during quarantine about yourself and your business?

Something I learned during quarantine is that communication is key! A lot has happened during this quarantine good and bad but despite it all I want my customers and potential customers to be open with me about any issues or concerns that they may have. For me personally, I feel that having an open line of communication between me and my customers is VERY IMPORTANT.

10. What are you manifesting for the month of May?

For the month of May, I am manifesting an extra day within the week to perfect my craft with my business. Whether it is trying a new recipe or finding new ways of advertisement, I want to continue learning and growing.
