Share the Ideas & Inspiration

Let’s make the best of both worlds – lemon and blueberry. I created the traditional lemon bars with blueberry compote for the top.

I brought them to my staff and they loved them. It is a mixture of sweet and sour, along with a dense cookie. YUM!

Watch how easy they are to make, and then find recipe below (printable recipe too!)

One comment I get as a business owner is “How di One comment I get as a business owner is “How did you do it?”. My answer, “one step at a time.” Instead of looking at the top of the stairs and questioning whether I’ll make it, I look at the next step. 
I ask myself, what is on that next step I can do today. Try not to overwhelm yourself with lofty goals. 
I launched a new biz during COVID, so each step is all new territory- but I’m learning as I go. 
Write down one step you can take today, whether something personal, career or relationships. Then do it. #jilllodatoquotes #onestepatatime #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurquotes
