Working in Campbell River, Lizbeth as a retail sales associate and Jonathan as an Aquaculture Technician, the two entrepreneurs dedicate their free time to their online bakery, Dulzara.
"Our journey to running the online bakery has been filled with ups and downs, but one of the most rewarding aspects has been seeing our dream come to life when we attended our first Farmer's Market. We've learned the importance of perseverance and adapting to challenges along the way.
It leads to our best advice for someone starting out as an entrepreneur: stay true to your vision, work hard, and surround yourself with a supportive network.
The best part of our experience at VCC was the hands-on learning environment and the supportive community of instructors and fellow students. The practical skills and knowledge we gained were invaluable in preparing us for entrepreneurship.
One surprising aspect of being an entrepreneur that you can't learn in school is the level of dedication and commitment required to succeed. It's not just about passion for your product or service; it's also about wearing multiple hats and being willing to adapt to ever-changing circumstances.
Outside of the bakery, we enjoy exploring the beautiful landscapes of Campbell River, experimenting with new recipes in our kitchen, and spending quality time with friends.
At the bakery, it's hard to pick our best tasting dessert but we have a soft spot for our alfajores, two delicates melt-in-your-mouth cookies filled with dulce de leche!
