Sacrificing Personal Time for Growth
Linda’s commitment to the candy shop grew even stronger as she poured herself into learning the business side. She spent long hours studying marketing strategies, researching new candy trends, and making sure the shop’s finances were in order. Her personal life continued to take a back seat. Friends would invite her to dinners, but she would turn them down, knowing that the shop required her full attention. Sacrifices were still a part of her life, but they were now more purposeful.

The Sweet Reward
One day, as Linda was wrapping candies, she noticed a small package on her desk. It was from the Coles. Inside was a simple note: “Thank you for everything. You’ve earned more than candy—you’ve earned our love and admiration.” Beneath the note were dozens of beautifully wrapped candy pieces, each one symbolizing a memory, a moment, a sacrifice Linda had made. It wasn’t just candy—it was the recognition of a lifetime of devotion.
