I’m not saying it worked, but I’m also not saying it *didn’t* work 🤷🏼♀️🦈

Keep going… Your story isn’t complete yet! 💪
My world was shaken when I lost my first job. My financial stability and my “impressive” job were suddenly gone.
I never thought I’d be an entrepreneur, much less in the food industry. I took a leap of faith when I decided to pursue Sprinkles Cupcakes, and continued to take leap after leap after that.
25-year-old me would have never guessed the wild adventures ahead: founding @sprinklescupcakes, launching and growing @pizzana, and becoming a Guest Shark on @sharktankabc. But hey, I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙌🏻🍕🦈
👉🏻 Follow for more empowering entrepreneurship content! ✅

Spoiler alert! 🚨 If you like doing multiple things and don’t have a singular focus…
You might just make an ideal entrepreneur!
My journey has been far from a straight path.
I’ve worked in finance and tech, then went to pastry school I jumped into entrepreneurship – first with cupcakes, now pizza. I’m a keynote speaker, author, investor, mentor and mom.
Each stage of my journey, and each deviation from what I “thought” my path would be, was a critical part of building the bigger picture.

Bootstrapping your business might be the only financing option available to you. But even when you have investors knocking down your door, bootstrapping can be a strategic choice!
Bootstrapping allows you to keep 💯 ownership of your company, meaning you retain all the decision making, as well as all the rewards.
If you are bootstrapping a business like I did for Sprinkles Cupckes, here are some tips:
👉🏻 Things will take twice as long and cost twice as much as you think they will – always model out your business conservatively!
👉🏻 You’ll have to get scrappy – Using your own money to fund the business means you’ll have to be creative about where to cut personal expenses
👉🏻 Not everyone will understand your sacrifices, and that’s okay!
