Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Michael Freetage, Owner of Michael's Confections, located in Dover, OH, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We travel around making Cinnamon Glazed Nuts for everyone with a sweet tooth.
Tell us about yourself
I started in 2019 when I lost my job; it was the kick I needed to get started. I love what I do; I tell everyone I get to travel all over the state and sell some nuts along the way.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I was able to grow the business enough in a year and a half that my Brother Chris was able to quit his full-time job and come make nuts with me.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things as a business owner is wearing all the hats. I am the maker, traveler, scheduler, back off, etc.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do something you love and figure out how to make money with it.
- Have fun with whatever you are doing.
- Customer service is key, keep the customers happy and appreciated, and everything will work out.
