So my friend for years wants to

Open a bakery and make me in charge of decorating cookies and cakes and teach classes. Is she crazy? I’m good, but not that good.
I’ve told her no no no. I said the other day,”Geez give it a rest...I’m not that good.” She acted like she didn’t hear me. I told her she wasn’t listening and she said,”I’ve heard every word, but I choose to ignore.”
I compare myself to others and I’m amateur at best.
Would you do it if you didn’t feel good enough?

I would never be manipulated into a job I didn't want to do and wouldn't enjoy. But if it's a self-esteem thing, I might just mention that when you do something every day you get better...and better...and better.
I totally agree I love decorating and she knows it. She only has my best interest at heart which is why keeps asking me. Lol@4meAndyou

She ignores when I say I’m not that great because she thinks I’m being silly. @RippinKlouds

Where you went wrong is very simple, giver her options about the business and allow her to choose herself and if it fails she can only blame herself
Where I went wrong or she went wrong?@nedkelly

Only do it if you really want to. Mind you if you wanted to you could go it alone and not have your friend telling you what to do.
@CathyUK she wouldn’t tell me what to do. I love decorating. I would decide what gets put on display or not. I’m not a professional, but I do have a better eye at detail than she does.

You know how it is.. if you don’t feel good enough,you’re not going to be good enough
But there is that question in the back of my mind...what if I am.@SW-User

Do it if it's something that you would like to do. Don't miss an opportunity.

People have dreams, she's thought of her plans for a bakery and wants to use you to make her dream come true, not listening to a word you said will show what kind of boss she would be.
I’ve thought of this....lol She would have to learn and grow a lot as a business owner. I don’t think she realises how much a business involves. She’s not the greatest listener, but her not listening to me was her way of saying that she thinks I’m better than what I think I am.
She will have to learn how to listen if she is a boss. Most definitely. @cherokeepatti

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I knew someone who thought she'd get rich with a business and she had it all planned out, told me I would be the secretary (🤣) when she knew I had a full-time job already, that business didn't last but a few months, she was writing hot checks for things and her husband had to bail her out. What people plan in their minds is not usually reality on how it will turn out.

Obviously she thinks you are that good, or does she think you will do it for free?
No she thinks I’m that good.@samueltyler2
