Today we’d like to introduce you to Vildymar Pagan.
Hi Vildymar, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am a 38 years old Puerto Rican. I can to US on 2001, I work for a few Banks and call Center and on 2014, I was working for A telephone company, and they lose the call center. Funny story ”I was lay off on my day off.” I didn’t know what to do. I knew I needed to embark on a new career path. The only question was…What? Starting a business couldn’t have been further from my mind. What I needed was a safe, secure job which paid the bills and put some stability back into my life.
So I started making cakes for friends and family. A spark was lit and I was bewildered to realize, How much I enjoyed making a handcrafted, meticulously designed cake and selling it to someone who appreciated and loved it so much. That’s how Vee’s Cakes started.
But today as I share my story, I’m taking a sneaky peek behind my shoulder and seeing that indeed, I’ve come very far and am living out the career I had wished for way back. I get to make pretty cakes, work every day as a creative entrepreneur. And I get to do it all in my pajamas. 🙂
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The reality is that it wasn’t smooth sailing when I started with my Cakes “Far from it” Every win would be followed by a loss and it was a constant “two steps forward, one step back”. I was a no-name cake decorator trying to make it in a sea full of talent. It was HARD and at one stage, I very nearly threw in the towel and quit my business completely. Time management might be the biggest problem faced by entrepreneurs, who wear many (and sometimes all) hats. If you only had more time, you could accomplish so much more!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
