Meet Seunghee Park

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Seunghee Park. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Seunghee below.

Hi Seunghee, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

When I opened this store, my husband cheered me on a lot. Confidence comes from me, but it would have been difficult to take a step forward without the sincere support from the people around me. I wouldn’t listen if someone other than my husband had started saying negative things to me. It’s no help at all, it’s not their job, and I’m the only one who controls my life. But I’m a human being, sometimes it’s hard. I have to wake up early in the morning to make, develop and market everything by myself. Whenever I’m tired, I say to myself in the mirror, “I can do it.” And it becomes a reality, and it’s really supportive.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

We are Madeleine Specialists. We have more than 15 kinds of madeleines prepared. The idea came from South Korea. There are many kinds of Fusion French desserts in Korea, and they are one of them. We opened this store to serve various desserts in Texas, and people welcoming! We started with online delivery, and we started our small store now a year later. Our next goal is to open a second store in 2025, and we are currently working on it.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The most important thing for me is patience. I think there’s no point in doing well if you don’t keep going. I’ve been a confectionery chef for almost 11 years. If you’ve been doing one thing for more than 10 years, you’ll be a master of it. I believe you deserve to be successful in whatever you do.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

“Why Do We Work”-Inamori Kazuo.

I have read this book more than three times, and he is one of the top three respected entrepreneurs in Japan. At the beginning of the book, he explains how to start with a mindset, how to be passionate about not liking it, and how to deal with life. This book teaches me how to overcome when my work feels boring. I would recommend anyone who is struggling while starting a business or running a store. The following are phrases that have helped me greatly.

“We don’t work just for earning, we work for discovering the value of life by tempering
and cultivating our mind”
“Most people work though they don’t want to, all we have to do is to holy love working”
“Steeper the mountain is, closer the top is. Do not compromise with reality”
“Today is more important than the future. Ensure internal stability”
