Managing baker fatigue
Briefly News had the pleasure of chatting with Naledi Gwabe, a Moja Love television show host, businesswoman, and former cake boss, about how she handled fatigue as a baker.
"I coped at the beginning of the business because I had more time and could handle the clients who came in."
"Because I am fully self-employed, all the time I have is dedicated to my business, but then I noticed that the more that my name grew, the bigger the challenge, finding myself having to work right through the night."
"For days, I would go a day or two without proper sleep; I would probably throw in an hour or two just for a quick nap."
The businesswoman shared what worked for her.
"A tip that I can give others is to start working on the order when the client makes a cake order and not wait until the last minute."
Women in the same business field relate
The video caught the attention of many ladies in the baking industry who understood how tiring their business was. Some shared that they gave up their baking passion as they couldn't take the pressure and exhaustion.
