There's you, there's your customer and there is your competition. You really only have control over two of the three and often I see entrepreneurs put too much emphasis on themselves. My guest today, Katie Mleziva of Real Food Brands, is a master at explaining why we need a brand story and how it will help make your life so much easier AND increase your sales.

Do you have a money intolerance? A WHAT? Most of you are thinking, "of course not! I want more money!!"

 But really think about how you might be blocking abundance in your business.  If money was a person, how would you describe your relationship with it? As a jilted lover or an adoring grandparent who just soaks it all up?

In today's podcast, I give you some easy money tools to shake up your money blocks and start allowing more abundance to flow into your life and business.

Plus - how are you doing on your generosity challenge?

After you listen, head over to the private Facebook group and let us know which one of these you are going to implement this month.

It is time to talk about MONEY! This is a topic many of us don't want to talk about. Why can't we just want to make our product and make people smile with our delicious product, right?

But then we have to start selling and put ourselves out there to be rejected and that's where things start to unravel. Before we tackle the practical side of running a business, we need to start with your money mindset and the money lies we have been telling ourselves.

My guest today is money mindset coach, Jill Wright and you are definitely going to hear your money lie(s) reflected back to you in this interview. But don't worry, this is normal. Once you know them, you can start taking action from awareness and empowerment and crush the lies that keep you stuck or quitting all together! (space) Let's continue the conversation in the private Facebook group! Share the money lie that has held you back until now.

Are you looking for the magic formula, the one way, to launch or grow your food brand? In today's episode, I offer a different way of thinking. Thinking like a scientist is how I have watched hundreds of entrepreneurs create the business they want.

I was inspired by Adam Grant's book Think Again and highly recommend it for thinking about everything in your life, but most definitely in your business.

Are you willing to experiment, to cast off the biases that can lead to wasted money and time, and fail 100 times on your way to success? This is what every successful entrepreneur will tell you is THE formula.
