Donia, 28 years old, says about her beginnings: I love sweets, and I always made sweets for my family, friends, and relatives, who made my own hands. They always said that my sweets are wonderful, so why don't you make a project to make homemade sweets? Hence the idea came to me, so I bought tools and started from scratch in 2014 until now, although I studied accounting, job opportunities are very scarce, and after I gave birth to my two daughters, it was necessary to take care of them and create a job opportunity and a distinctive creative idea in what I love and can do from home So I started with my project.
the beginning of the story,,
Her story was simply an old passion and love for the sweets industry and creativity with it to come out with a beautiful flavor that the eye tastes before the mouth, and fate wanted her to follow her passion and set out to work in this field and launch her project page to market it through social media 8 years ago, and indeed with the presence of relatives, acquaintances and friends, Dunia was able to Expansion, and everyone knows it, and the project began to grow, and its beginning was beautiful, despite the fatigue.
Donia speaks with enthusiasm: I have always loved the creative field in any work we love, and in my opinion, talent alone is not enough, as it is necessary to continue to develop, study, and learn to always reach unprecedented success that is accompanied by distinction from everyone, especially since home food and sweets projects are widely spread in Society, so we must strive continuously and diligently so that we can pave our way and build a name in this field while maintaining success. Creativity and passion are always the key to success, coupled with continuous work and tireless pursuit.
more creativity,
She added: Therefore, it was necessary to develop in my work. After my simple beginnings were preparing cups of sweets of different tastes and types, from poppies to tiramisu and cheesecake of all kinds, I decided to move to the second step after two years, which is to expand my field of work by joining a specialized course in making Cake and sweets so that I can arm myself with them and gain more experience and skills and my work will be more professional, and I will use my time and skill to open my own project on the ground and I will have a shop where I make and sell delicious sweets. I was able to open it in 2016 and called it “Talia Sweets” after my daughter .
Secrets of excellence and success
When passion combines with skill and learning, the result is more than wonderful. When Donia joined cake-making courses in professional ways and joined various workshops, she added something new and different to her. She was able to move from her warm home and her humble tools to work in her place in preparing the most delicious desserts with a delicious flavor, deliciousness, arrangement and elegance. To increase duties and demands on them.
Where she said: One of the most important secrets of success is the love of work, and then the other ingredients come from choosing good materials of high quality and freshness, superior cleanliness and good flavor, in addition to the beautiful and elaborate shape that reflects art so that we can eat it by eye before tasting its taste. These are the most important keys to success that make customers accept Demand, whoever tries the taste once comes back with other customers, in addition to the appropriate price as well.
obstacles,,
The beginning is not always paved with roses, it is an idea that is born from boundless ambition to reach success, and any home project is a step to launch and a goal for a larger project, and this is what Dunya sought from the beginning, as she said: Beginnings are always simple, but the ambition is great and the goal is greater, so the journey of the mile begins One step at a time, and the first step was to work from my home despite the obstacles that began with my children. I am a mother and I have two daughters, the eldest of whom is currently three years old and two years old. Therefore, the responsibilities and duties of the house are great in addition to the social ones, so it was necessary to reconcile them and wait until my children sleep in order to start working. orders, especially since they were smaller at the start of the project.
She added: Among the difficulties also is marketing on social media pages, as I made a very great effort until I was able to establish a name for myself, in addition to the fact that the price is different from the market, especially since I was initially not buying at a wholesale price, and the materials that I use are priced high because I choose the same quality. However, some still consider that my prices are somewhat high, although the prices of materials have risen a lot more than before, and yet I was able to overcome all obstacles and succeed.
development and support,
Because creativity has no limits, many projects started from home and then developed into projects on the ground. Donia was able, through the support of her father, to transform her project from selling online to an existing store in which she works, and this is what she told us by saying: After working at home, it was My father, may God have mercy on him and my role model in life, has a great merit, whether through financial or moral support. He helped me to join the courses that benefited me from a practical point of view, and supported my project to open my own shop for me, and the support was very positive from my mother, sisters and acquaintances, and I was never subjected to any negative criticism And this is what constituted an impetus for me to do more and develop more, but with the increase in work pressure, the abundance of work, and the long time that I spend on it, I closed it after six months, especially with my two children, and the option of working from home was the most appropriate, especially since I prepare all kinds of cakes Cold and hot, in addition to Kunafa and Basbousa. I also make occasional cakes of all kinds, regular ones made with sugar dough. I have now joined a specialized course for making pastries.
ambition,
When a person has the determination to achieve success, he has the incentive to achieve the strength that drives him to gain the ability to exert greater effort and achieve what he wants, which is the beginning and starting point towards promoting his dreams, and this is the case of Dunya, who was not satisfied with what she learned and the courses she joined, but also sought to join With more of them, especially since she aspires to open her shop again with a new look and a variety of additions that were not before, and she also seeks to excel more through specialized courses so that she can in the future give different courses in making what she loves, and to have multiple branches so that everyone can enjoy tasting what she produces.
message and advice,
Donia concluded her speech by saying: The real unemployment is limited thinking, not starting out, striving to give and work, and creating our own opportunity for success without giving up until we achieve what we want. She wants, and certainly her family will support her, and this is what gives her an incentive and pushes her to continue.
And we must always move forward, even if the beginnings are simple and humble, as it is the beginning of achieving the great goal that we aspire to, and the woman must be pioneering and create an opportunity for her to empower herself and achieve her being and herself because of its positive impact that is reflected in herself and her family and her surroundings to be a role model to follow, stressing Her ambition to continue her work with her own project will not stop at anyone, and she will strive to make her products known everywhere, people demand them from all sides.
