re: Dealing with Passion Killers: Criticism and Burn Out

Brilliant article and i did in fact scale back earlier this year as i had a bit of a meltdown and felt totally overwhelmed with everything i had to make for my customers orders. I was also juggling family life and other commitments so something had to give. I love cake decorating so much but was starting to find i was just going through the motions and missing out on the bit i really enjoyed which was the creative side as i no longer had the time to play and be creative.
I am back where i want to be now and i will not take on more then two cakes a week . I still have many moments when i think to myself im not good enough to be doing cake decorating but my husband is always there to tell me carry on and remind me that so many people would not ask me to make cake for them if i wasn’t good and my customers feed back comments also help……..HAPPY ELLIE :) X
