We recently connected with Delma Gomes and have shared our conversation below.
Delma, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I believe that every success in life requires a level of discipline. From younger age, my dad always taught that anything in this life it’s achievable, as long as you are disciplined enough to make it work. I try my best to keep a balance between my secular job , my business and my personal life , by having a schedule and sticking to it. I try to deliver my work at a timely fashion to avoid any inconvenience to my beautiful customers.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Hi there , My name is Delma Gomes , the founder and owner of “ Sweeter Than Sweetzz “,a small bakery business. The one special thing about my brand is that I get to make cakes for special events , and get to be part of people’s most important celebrations. Custom cakes are considered “luxury “ because of the time and freshness of the products , so I try my best to work with my customers’ budget as much as I can .
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Honesty , Accountability, Ponctuality. I believe that honesty helped me price my products according to the market and the quality I was offering. Accountability is one thing that I had to work on as well. As a “solo”business owner , we make lots of mistakes and it’s okay to admit them and improve the quality of our products. I believe that that’s the only way that growth happens. Last but not least , it’s respecting people’s time . I try my best to delivery my orders on a timely manner ( still have a long way to go ), to avoid any inconvenience from or messing up people’s schedules ..but like everything else … there’s always room for improvement.
Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?
I love this question. My family’ and friends for sure. I can’t thank them enough for the support and the advice that they give on a daily basis . Some of them even go beyond to share with me some tricks and ideas for the business . Let me take this opportunity to thank them ❤️
