One Year of Minky Snacks Updates: Reflection, Growth, and Gratitude

This week marks a significant milestone—one year of sharing weekly updates about Minky Snacks. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to look back on the lessons learned and connections made along the way.

The Beginning of the Journey

I vividly remember writing my first email, commuting home from work on the train. With music blasting through my noise-canceling headphones, I poured my heart into sharing the story behind Minky Snacks and why I was so driven to start this journey. My entrepreneurial drive was at an all-time high, and I haven’t looked back since.

Consistency: 52 Weekly Updates and Counting

Fast forward a year, and I’m proud to say I’ve sent 52 weekly emails without missing a single one. However, i I skip one soon, it’ll be for an exciting reason—my little muffin will be ready to come out of the oven (yes, I’m expecting!).

Three Key Benefits of Sharing Weekly Updates

Looking back, sharing these updates has brought three incredible benefits:

1. Accountability

One of the biggest perks of these updates is the accountability they bring. Knowing that my community is waiting for an update each week pushes me to stay transparent and consistent.

With so many emails flooding inboxes, I strive to make mine worth your time—whether you learn from my mistakes, feel inspired, or simply enjoy following along. It keeps me focused on what’s happening behind the scenes and what might interest you most.

2. Community: Connection and Support

By sharing my journey, I’ve fostered a sense of community. Friends, family, and even new acquaintances have told me they feel like they’re part of the process.

Building a business isn’t easy—it’s a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Sharing both the wins and struggles has created deeper connections with people who believe in my mission to provide healthier snack options.

This sense of community has been especially meaningful during our launch. Seeing everyone show up and support Minky Snacks was nothing short of amazing.

3. Reflection

Another unexpected benefit of these updates is reflection. My cousin, an entrepreneur himself, once pointed out that these weekly updates serve as a mini journal. They’ve allowed me to document both the small wins and the major milestones, providing a clear picture of the journey so far.

Taking time to reflect each week has helped me stay grounded and gain perspective. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day challenges, but these updates remind me of how far we’ve come.

Looking Ahead: The Journey Is Just Beginning

No matter what the future holds for Minky Snacks, I’ll always have these updates to revisit the milestones and challenges we’ve faced. I’m incredibly grateful for your continued support and for following along on this wild ride.
