What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

By Tracy Schruder

As a creative entrepreneur, I’ve encountered my fair share of curious customers. However, there’s one question that never fails to irk me: “What’s the recipe?” or “How do you make that?” My standard response? “If I told you, I’d have to cast a spell on you.”

Spell kits and Jewelry

As a jewelry maker, artisanal smoke stick crafter, and spell kit creator, I’ve spent over 15 years perfecting my craft. My products are a unique blend of herbs, oils, and other ingredients, carefully selected and processed to create truly one-of-a-kind items. From dandelion and lavender to rosemary and sage, each component is chosen for its specific properties and energies.

I understand that curiosity is natural, and I’m happy to provide basic information about my products.

Bracelets and earrings

However, when customers ask for the recipe, I feel a sense of unease. It’s not just about protecting my intellectual property; it’s about respecting the time, effort, and love that I pour into each and every item.

Unfortunately, I’ve had experiences where others have stolen my ideas and profited from them. This has made me guarded, and I’m careful about who I share my secrets with.

Dream Catchers

So, the next time you’re tempted to ask a creator about their recipe or technique, remember that there’s often a story, a passion, and a piece of themselves behind each product. A simple “I love your work” or “Your products are amazing” can go a long way in showing appreciation for the craftsmanship and care that goes into creating something unique and special.

Conclusion

In the end, it’s not about the recipe or the technique; it’s about the love, care, and dedication that goes into creating something truly special. As a creator, I pour my heart and soul into each and every product, and I hope that customers will respect and appreciate that. So, the next time you’re tempted to ask about the recipe, remember that there’s a person, a story, and a passion behind each product – and that’s something truly worth respect.

I hope you enjoyed reading my answer to the daily prompt. 😊🔮😊

Thank you for reading 🙏😊

    I adore your passion and completely get where you are coming from Tracy 😄👌💯💯.

    On one hand there are those who want to know how you did something so cool that impresses them to the point where they want to know how it’s done, which could be a huge compliment and motivator in of itself 👍😆.

    Then on the other hand, there may be those who are more interested in the business side of things and could want to know your approach so that they can also use it to do their own thing, because even in some cases as you noted, you have seen some of your ideas stolen by people who used them to make profit, and you really don’t want people to just make the situation about money and business either — you really want people to appreciate that you are doing something you love, that took soul, time, effort and care to craft and produce some of the most beautiful and lovely things that others can enjoy 💌🤗😇
