And now, two days later, the cupcake shop dream is toast. Unfortunately, the financials were not good and there was no way I could have made them better quickly enough to not risk my house. Everyone's advise was to pass, which I did. But while I'm disappointed, I have to say I learned a hell of a lot in the one week time period in which all of this went down. The most important of it all is that I already have a small team of support people that will definitely still be there the next time an opportunity arises and that is an amazing feeling, considering how unsupported I've felt in general the last several years. And now that I have this wonderful new group of women entrepreneurs to share with and learn from, I'm sure a new opportunity will turn up. And it may end up being something entirely different from a bakery! Who knows! But I'm excited to find out!
