Jeannette and Charity are excited to help you start or grow your business! No official announcements

I know I am extremely guilty of this one, waiting for the “perfect” moment to start. However, when that motivation hits, sometimes it can be scary to jump into something new. We can be excellent at talking ourselves out of it.

Use the motivation to drive you.

If you think it’s something you can do, you feel like you can put your all into it and it will bring you joy…go for it!

If you need that little extra push, or some guidance to send you down the right path, both Charity and myself are now accepting one on one coaching clients. Feel free to dm us your email address and we can help put you on the right track. ♥️

We know, we know…you want to do everything. We’ll blame the entrepreneur in all of us, she loves to do as much as humanly possible but did you know you might actually be setting yourself back?

When starting out, you are often attempting to operate a side business while keeping a full time job and managing a family. That can be incredibly overwhelming. Trust us, we’ve been there. Our advice? Pick a few ideas, the fewer the better. I would suggest 1-3, and work them into submission. Get to know them inside out, how they operate, how they sell, who buys them and why they do!

By keeping your eyes open to a few specific ideas, your focus will become clearer and you can get ready to open up shop earlier!

Keeping it simple in the beginning is really the best advice I can honestly give you.
Need help simplifying things? Charity and I will be accepting two 1:1 business clients in April each, we’d love to help get you on the right path!

Have questions? You can always email us at [email protected] or DM us here!

I know I know, it seems like a giant pain. But trust me, it’s worth it. Let’s take a look at why taking and using your own photos is so important.
 It allows you to actually put YOUR product out there. You’ve taken the time to put it together to see what you are actually capable of. If you use someone else’s photo, you are losing that and just hoping for the best when the time comes for you to actually make it.
 Clients often love to see what they are ordering before they commit to a purchase. Using photos as opposed to just words will not only provide your client with more trust towards your business, but you will make more sales. For hand makers especially, not every item is identical but having the image will at least give it a close comparison.

Stage your photos. This can be a lengthy process but it doesn’t need to take too much effort to get things started when the highlight of the photo is your product. Personally here at the bakery, I have a tote that is full of themed items that go with all of the themes we do here for our cookie pre-sales. When the time comes for me to have to take the photos, it’s just a matter of setting up the props, the product and some good lighting to make it work. The first few times you do it, it will probably take a while, so plan out accordingly within your work schedule.

Have a question about a product based business? Or need a little help setting your product based business on the right track? Jeannette will be accepting two 1:1 business clients in January, start now so by next Christmas it will be a piece of cake! 😉

Jeannette's one on one business coaching is here!

With Charity off soon with baby #2, we wanted to make sure you entrepreneurs (or soon to be entrepreneurs) are still taken care of should you wish!

With experience from running her own business Jeannette's Custom Cakes for the past decade, expanding said business into JCC Sugar and sweet additions and everything in between, Jeannette is here to help with personalized one on one power sessions.

Available in either one or two hour sessions (virtually through lockdown), Jeannette will be able to help you with the specific direction that your business needs. If you know you need help, but not sure how, she will assess where you are currently and look at possible directions for you to follow.

topics included but not limited to:

▶️ I have an idea but where do I start?
▶️ operations and organization
▶️ what “should” I be doing vs. what I “want” to be doing
▶️ managing mental health within a small business
▶️ packaging and product photos
▶️ charging your worth
▶️ expansion
▶️ branding
and the biggest one...
▶️ boundaries

Early bird rates of $115 for a one hour session, or $200 for a two hour session are in effect until Saturday, May 8th at 6pm.

If you are looking for someone who understands what it's like to be scared, unsure and nervous to step on that gas pedal, you've found her. Experience is a very powerful tool and sometimes you just need a bit of assistance to head in the right direction.

For more information please email Jeannette at her office at [email protected]. You won't regret investing in yourself.

Just start.

I know, you want your service/product to be perfect before you launch. Truthfully, your product/service is going to change SO MUCH in the first few years as you learn and grow
Part of figuring out what your clients need is putting out an offer and seeing what type of feedback you get! Growing pains are real when you are an entrepreneur but they are an important step to growth.
Don’t let fear of failure, or lack of perfection, stop you from sharing your offer.
JUST START

What's in a personality? Well, obviously many things make up your personality, but did you know that it actually can IMPROVE your way of working? I know, imagine that right? Such a novel concept...to like your job. Waking up and going to work should be a happy and positive thing!
The girls here at Essence are big fans of the enneagram personality test, and no it's not like the online quizzes to tell you what kind of potato you are.😉 It takes a look at your personality traits in order to help you discover your true self and achieve more happiness and fulfillment in your life! Which is exactly what we are trying to help you do! Plus, it's fun!
Jeannette and Charity have both taken the test and identified in enneagram type 1 and type 8. Can you guess who is who? If you know both of the girls businesses (Jeannette's Custom Cakes and Charity Elliott Nutrition), you can probably figure it out pretty easily.
Type 1 - Always seeking self-improvement, Consistent and dependable, Will risk being uncomfortable in order to help/improve life for others.

Type 8 - Confident in Decision Making, Always up for a challenge, Passionate
Here is the link, try it and see for yourself!

Alice and Elizabeth. Two names that will make either of us stop dead in our tracks...and by stop, I mean feed them while on the phone, bathe them while thinking of new ideas and running errands with them in between meetings.
We wanted to pay special attention to the fact that we are both mothers, as well as business owners. Why? Simply because we think it is important. More often than not people shy away from owing their own business because they believe it won't fit within their family life. The two of us (along with so many other people in the world) are living proof that you in fact can.
Whether you need some help starting that process, or editing the process you currently have...we are here for you.
It's almost February, and we are so so excited.

I have an idea.
That's the sentence that can start it all.
It seems simple, and sometimes it is. However more often than not, it's a bit more difficult than that.
It's possible to know what you want to do with your business without actually knowing how to get there.
Maybe you want to provide a service? If so Charity is here to help you through that process, her business Charity Elliott Nutrition offers so many different services to fit your needs.
If it's a product you are looking to sell, Jeannette has you covered. With product sales coming from Jeannette's Custom Cakes as well as her other two businesses, her background in graphic design will help put it altogether.
Two sides of business, all knowledge built through experience.
We know it's overwhelming and we want to help you. Why? Because we get it, completely.
