Do you ever feel like you're just wandering in your bakery business, doing what seems right and hoping something sticks? In this episode, Dani introduces the Bakery of Your Own framework — a five-stage roadmap that finally gives bakers the language and clarity to understand exactly where they are and what to focus on next.

In This Episode:

• Why most bakers feel lost — and why it's not their fault (the path exists, it's just not talked about clearly enough)
• An overview of all five stages: The Dream, The Foundation, The Recipe, The Proof, and The Rhythm
• Dani's personal story at each stage, from dabbling in cookie decorating to building a systems-driven business
• Why the Foundation stage is the one no one warns you about — and why it's actually everything
• How the Recipe stage is where baking becomes a true business (and why underpricing is a business-ending problem)
• What the Proof stage really requires: honest eyes on your numbers, not just a full order calendar
• What the Rhythm stage actually looks like in real life — including the months Dani still hits the edge of burnout and how she builds in the reset
• Take the free quiz to find your stage in about two minutes: quiz.tryinteract.com/#/68f97e1719c7ec0015e1e6a2
