Ep #241 Costly Decisions: The 3 Biggest Mistakes Early-Stage Food Entrepreneurs Make


Listen Later

I'm pulling back the curtain on the three biggest mistakes that cause early-stage food entrepreneurs to struggle and often fail. Drawing from my experience over 7+ years helping hundreds of food businesses launch and scale, I give you an honest look at why so many passionate food makers hit roadblocks despite having amazingly delicious products.

You'll discover why listening to everyone's conflicting opinions leads to confusion rather than clarity, how spreading yourself too thin across multiple sales channels sabotages your momentum, and the surprising cost of operating without a proper long-term plan or budget. More importantly, I share practical solutions for each of these pitfalls, including how to filter advice, strategically choose your sales channels, and create a vision-driven plan that actually works.

Whether you're still in the dreaming phase or already knee-deep in your food business journey, this episode delivers the tough love and actionable strategies you need to avoid common traps and set your business up for sustainable success.
