Jaime McCreary-Cocoa and Coffee Luxury Picnics

What inspired you to launch your business?

I was inspired to launch my business because I had so much fun setting up a surprise picnic as a fun date night for my husband. From what I can tell, it’s new to Springfield, and I would love to make luxury picnics an experience for all to enjoy.

 

What is your passion?

I have a passion for people. Most of my career has been around customer service. I love being able to help put a smile on someone’s face, whether I am helping solve a problem or just lending an ear. I also enjoy designing and decorating. Any time I have a chance, I am DIYing something.  

 

How do you start your day?

I usually start my day off by walking my dog and am grateful for another day. I honestly need a better morning routine. It’s one of my 2022 goals.

I can’t wait to discover more. Becoming a small business owner has opened my eyes to things and places I never really noticed before.

 

What do you deem as success in business?

Business success would mean loving what I do while making people happy and making money. Work wouldn’t seem like work.

 

What is your number one piece of advice for business owners?

Be consistent.
