We had the good fortune of connecting with Ekaterina Stetsenko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ekaterina, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
This is probably one of the most often question small business owners ask themselves -keep going or give up. I did too. When you have things to pay, rent, employees, product, insurance etc and not enough sales as you projected, this is the question that is in your head, what’s next, but for me universe always sends a sign to keep going, whether is wedding project or just a happy customer saying good things about my place. It always make me smile and continue. To all small business owners out there- don’t give up, even if sometimes it feels tough you will get rewarded for your hard work.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Just don’t give up, everything takes time. Small business grow with time and dedication.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
