There's asking for feedback and then there's the receiving of the feedback. This is hard to do well! I love Adam Grant's concept of the second score and I share some tips on how to be a better feedback receiver so that you can get better or make your business better. I also share some of the feedback I received from the survey you may have taken in November of 2023 - the good, bad and the ugly! Find out how I handled it and what will or won't change as a result.

In the four years Jessica, founder of Fireworks Butters, and I have worked together we have never recorded a podcast together...that changes today! Hear her 8-year journey of starting her business and keeping it going with a busy household of three kids and husband and then COVID.
Each year she has made significant growth, but "it isn't for the faint of heart", as she likes to say. After Master Your Business and clarifying her 10X goal in 2023 she is now in 17 states wholesaling her butter. The Faire platform is something that opened up for her last fall and she and Ryan of Pup & The Pepper are teaching Fuel VIP members on February 15th how to use the platform best and avoid the pitfalls that can happen to anyone.

Are you worried about making money mistakes or making the wrong investments in your business? Danny Walsh and I have a frank conversation about making investments in an early stage business. He shares what investments he made into his business, Peak State Coffee, early on and what mistakes he made along the way so you can avoid the pitfalls. We both believe in a lean business and getting something out into the world quickly to test and get feedback. It's important to stop planning in your head and jump into the water with a full commitment to your success.

We are often told in school and work to try to fix our weaknesses and spend energy there attempting to overcome them. That's the hardest and least fun way to go about being an entrepreneurs on my guest today, Dr. Lee Koles, shares with you the Clifton Strengths tools and why it's important to actually lean into your strengths and not focus so much on your weaknesses. She also breaks down my top five strengths as well as the top strengths of members in Fuel who took the assessment.

How's that New Year's resolution coming along? If you find that it has petered out, it's probably because the set up was wrong from the start and it was set up as a results goal versus an identity shift process. In today's episode I share with you what the difference is and one of my identity shifts I am making this year as part of our 30 day discipline challenge called Badass30. You can get the rules at https://www.foodbizsuccess.com/badass30 anytime. We are doing a group challenge inside Fuel that ends on Feb 29th, so you there is still time for you to join us for accountability and cheering each other on (plus fun prizes for those who complete the challenge).👋We're Food Business Success®.

Danny has had some amazing growth over the past three years since launching Peak State Coffee in the spring of 2020 and he is getting ready to have another huge 10X growth period. Danny and I talk about what it means to him to go 10X and why he loves this concept, how Master Your Business has helped him and can help founders set up your business to run without you always there and how to use the "who, not how" strategy to go 10X.
