In this episode of The First Gen CEO Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it was really like to crowdfund for my café, Sierra Mexican Café. April was our crowdfunding era—but it was also a month filled with personal challenges, weekly doctor visits, record-breaking sales, and a lot of delegating. I talk about the emotional rollercoaster of asking for help, the guilt and pride that come up as a first-gen business owner, and the power of community support. I also share the lessons I learned, how I reframed “only raising 6K,” and why this experience reminded me that we’re allowed to receive and rest. If you’re thinking of crowdfunding or launching a pre-sale product as a business owner, I hope this episode gives you insight.Subscribe to Newsletter and Get Your 50 Content Creation Ideas Guide:https://lucyortega.kit.com/50contentcreationideas30-Day Business Sprint: https://calendly.com/lucia-ortega/Follow Lucy on IG: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bylucyortega/⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bylucyortega⁠⁠Blog: ⁠⁠https://bylucyortega.com/⁠⁠IG for Sierra Mexican Café: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/sierramexicancafe⁠
