Bread bakeries and baking businesses like any other type of business will go through challenges. But how you handle it is important. bread business no doubt is lucrative, but it also comes with it's challenges
May bakeries in Africa faces challenges ranging substandard flour quality, power supply that's not stable, problem of not being supported by government and even your community etc.
Apart from the above which are normal challenges, some bakers and bakeries are being affected negatively due to belief systems in spiritual forces like witches being the cause of their business failures.
I do know it's important to respect people's belief system, however, below are how you can take practical steps that can change your business for good results if it's going through turbulence.
I have given you ten powerful resources and steps that can help you get focussed to rise again. These are part of what I teach in my online professional bread classes as well as physical bread baking classes.
1. LOOK AT YOUR RECIPE AGAIN AND RE-EVALUATE IT WITH HONESTY.
Most times, it's not a spiritual matter, but technical issue. Check your recipes, your dough consistency and development, mixing methods, hydration, proofing and baking time as well as heat level and oven temperature. Solving these technical issues is very important to resolving your challenges.
You have to get the services of a mentor to access things and give you fresh start.

2. USE RIGHT INDUSTRIAL INGREDIENTS FOR BREAD
Many things can ruin your product quality. Expired ingredients, low gluten flour will damage your bread product.
Buy and use quality industrial ingredients, Softener for soft firm bread loaves, antimould for long shelf life, EDC for chewy bread that bribgs out very elastic loaves with volume, and good rising. Source for high-quality ingredients. Invest in ingredients even if it costs more. Using low quality ingredients will cost you business failures.
The more you use quality ingredients for your baking, the better your unique taste will be and the more loyal customers you will have

4. PRAY AND PLAN ALONG.
If you are the type that believe in prayers, you have to pray and also plan. Work and pray, seek diving guidance and wisdom. Write down your goals and try to find out why and where things went wrong.
Hard-work, smart thinking, patience and practice pays.
5. RETAKE YOUR BUSINESS FROM "WITCHES AND WIZARDS
Most people who blame their challenges and failures in business on witches sometimes sufer from a different type of 'witch', and that 'witch' is FEAR. Not every failure is from spiritual forces. Take charge, be fearless, shift your mindset from fear to victory. Speak positive to your situation.
6. OBSERVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
The environment where you bake may affect your product quality. From heat, dust, water type can ruin your dough.
When we started earlier in Delta, my bakery was located and still located where there is gas flaring from an oil company. All our bread will scatter just the next day and customers keep complaining. I had to fix this with a technique I researched, implemented and things returned to normal.
7. GO ALL OUT THERE AND MARKET YOUR BRAND. Keep talking about it, create awareness. Even if you have the best baked bread and well packaged, no one will buy if they don't know about it.
Promote your bread on social media, from Whatsapp, TikTok , Facebook, Instagram etc.
Undertake road shows, give gifts, go to worship centers and local shops. Make your product visible to attract customers. See what we do.
8. SEEK FEEDBACK FROM CUSTOMER AND BE OPEN TO CRITICISM, EVEN IF ITS NEGATIVE.
Let people taste and tell you the truth—even if it hurts. That feedback may carry your breakthrough. Don't block your blessings with pride.
