Just hit 500 sourdough loaves sold at my local farmers market this year, which is way more than I thought I'd do. What's a milestone that surprised you?

Wait, is selling bread at a farmers market really a thing you measure like that? It's just bread, not some big company report. I guess hitting 500 sounds nice, but it feels like making a huge deal out of something pretty normal.

Oh, I get what you mean, but small goals are huge when it's your own thing. Hitting 500 loaves means you bought the right flour, woke up at 3 a.m. to bake, and people actually came back for more. That's not a normal Tuesday for most folks, that's a real win. It's okay to be proud of the small numbers, they're the whole story.

Whoa, hold on. I gotta push back on that a little. 500 loaves isn't just some random number, it's proof that someone's hobby turned into a real, actual thing people want to pay for. It's not about the report or the big company stuff, it's about that little thrill when you realize you've sold more than you thought you could. That's a big deal, even if it's just bread. It's a tangible result of all those early mornings and mixing bowls.

Hey, my sales goals are just as sad.
