Entrepreneurs Feel The Squeeze
Gloria Kakon recently learned first-hand the sacrifices it takes to be self-employed.
“I haven’t seen my family in four months and haven’t had a vacation in seven months,” Kakon said, referring to the 18-hour days she puts in baking and running her new patisserie, Cho’cola Bake Shop.
Kakon was a stay-at-home mom who went back to school at 40 to study family education, then decided instead to fulfill a 30-year dream to launch her own business “making cupcakes.”
But it hasn’t been easy.
“You give up a lot when you start your own business,” said Kakon, whose shop opened on Monkland Ave. in Notre Dame de Grâce at the end of May.
“It’s a huge tradeoff, I didn’t expect it to take as much of my life,” the 50-year-old married mother of four (one still lives at home) said from the busy shop.
