Food Business Success® - Start Your Food Business Dream

There is a big difference between a true entrepreneur and a maker who has a business. Most of the time we have created (or will create) a business from an maker state of mind. You just want to make your product and you wish you had other people to do all the other things.

I hear it ALL THE TIME.

It is somewhat easy to start a packaged product business, but creating one that lasts and doesn't require you to do all the things requires new skills and stepping into new roles that are outside of your comfort zone. 

But that doesn't mean you avoid it. You can't! This is not a hobby. This is a business. You must look at your finances, know your numbers, create a vision and plan your year and quarters strategically. To create a business that makes money even if you aren't there toiling away requires you to fall in love with entrepreneurship as much as making your product. 

In today's podcast I explain the three roles you MUST perform for your business to work and how most people are only performing one of them. If you aren't willing to step into the other two roles, your business will run (or ruin) you. I've seen it over and over again and I don't want that to be your story. 💔

It's the first podcast of 2023! I know there is a lot of excitement and motivation in the new year to make resolutions about what you will do in the next 12 months. You will finally launch that business or grow it to $x in sales. But the reality is that most resolutions made with the spirit of "want to" just don't actually happen.

On today's podcast, I am sharing with you a different phrase that will change your life. Instead of hoping you will achieve it, you can make this year's goal a foregone conclusion. And then get to work.

Have you been avoiding all of the CEO boss parts of your business? It is common for makers to do so because you don't know how...yet. Anyone can learn these systems and skills so you can run your business like a boss and make a profit! Get inside the Master Your Business 10 Week Program to change the trajectory of your 2023 and beyond.

Routine, habit and consistency serve us in a lot of ways, but if we aren't purposefully seeking out new challenges and first time experiences, we are missing out on so much. Neophilia, the pursuit of novel experiences, has amazing benefits including living a happier and healthier life. And we get a little rush of dopamine when we experience a first which lights up our brain and strengthens long-term memory and our ability to learn.

There is nothing like the thrill of starting a business to drop you feet first into uncertainty. And with a mentor and community, you will learn the skills of overcoming challenges and problem solving in a way that builds your confidence and resiliency.

Take a moment to review your 2022 - was it filled with first time experiences? If not, I am challenging you to get out of your comfort zone and go after more firsts.

Want to create a first of showing up and running your business like a boss instead of it running you? Get registered for the Master Your Business 10 Week Program to change the trajectory of your 2023 and beyond.

What makes for a "rich" life? I find this term makes some people uncomfortable, but we use rich in all kinds of ways from money to describing fabric or characterizing a dessert. I think of a rich life in terms of time and experiences as well. 

On this episode, I share with you some examples of ways you can start to feel more rich in your life now, so that you can create more of it in the future. And I give you a tool called a Dream Jar that has created more wealth (money, time, experiences, love and purchases) in my life and it can do the same for you. 

Want to start your own dream jar? Email me at [email protected] with the subject line: Wish Slips and your name and address and I will pop them in the mail for you at no charge while they last!

How are you feeling about your goals for 2022? How about setting new goals for 2023? If you are feeling a little discouraged and pessimistic, as I was, it is probably because you are doing it the hardest way.  In today's episode, I share with you two ways to set goals. The push method, which is what most of us have been taught, and the pull method. The pull, or desire, method is how really amazing goals are achieved. It is the more fun, easier and less stressful way of accomplishing BIG things in your life and business.

Do you see the world as usually good or usually bad? How you see the world is directly connected to your experience OF the world. It is possible to shift your perception and it starts with a technique called priming. You can't be both afraid and truly grateful at the same time.  In this season of gratitude, I offer a priming technique for increasing the gratitude you feel on a daily basis. Because when you feel more grateful for what you have and what is coming, your life opens up and more is always coming for you.

As a foodpreneur, you are doing hard things that don't always feel great. So, it is EXTRA important that you take responsibility for directing your mind. Otherwise, it will do it for you. And you probably won't like the results it creates (imagine a toddler running around with two permanent markers and a lot of white furniture).

I also want to offer so much gratitude for all of you listening and using the resources I offer. It is so amazing to me that I created a business helping you build your dream business in food. Thank you for being here and thank you for believing in yourself enough to consider what's possible for you.

What is a "better" outcome anyways? How would you know? When members and clients tell me they want a better outcome or result, it is usually because they keep giving up (so nothing is happening) or they want the business to go faster, be easier, cost less and for the process to be funner.  On today's podcast, I share some strategies and mindset shifts that can do just that. There is no cookie-cutter recipe to success (thank goodness!). How you take actions and think about those actions are everything.
