Are you stuck waiting for the "perfect moment" to work on your food business? In this episode I reveals why so many food entrepreneurs fall into the trap of waiting for inspiration to strike, leading to inconsistent progress and frustration. Drawing from the concept of "blue collar work ethic," I explain explains why treating your business like a real job - could be the breakthrough you need.

Learn why traditional professionals often struggle with procrastination when becoming entrepreneurs, and discover how adopting a blue collar mindset can transform your productivity. No more waiting to "feel motivated" or letting emotions drive your business decisions. If you're tired of the start-stop cycle in your business and ready to create consistent progress, this episode is your wake-up call.

The path to success in the CPG world is paved with tons of boring administrative work that I know you never imagined when you started a business!

In today's podcast episode I talk with Tal Garden, founder of Tal’s Mediterranean who solved her own problem of delegating the paperwork, phone calls and other things she didn't like to a virtual assistant (VA). 

After creating a foundation for her VA to help her scale the biz, Tal started helping others delegate effectively and ended up creating a business to support food founders in retail with a team of virtual assistants called The Fun Hub.

When you think about the future - 12 months from now or 10 years from now - do you see a stranger? Most of us think of our future selves like a stranger and often do things in the present that we would never do to a friend or loved one. There are a lot of hidden costs including postponing or never achieving your dream of a successful food business!

One resolution I encourage you to make as we step into a new year is to befriend your future self and start making decision that will benefit him or her - this will be the difference between achieving your goals or just piling up consequences and delays that your future self will have to deal with.

I know how entrepreneurs think (because I'm one too!) - you make a list of all the BIG things you are going to do in the year and are super excited to get going. In a flurry of excitement you start on a project and then find yourself dragging it out. 

Whether it is procrastination or a desire for perfection, everything grinds to a halt and you don't know why. And then frustration sets in and you might tell yourself that "you're just not a finisher". That all ends today!

After a coaching call with the 10X Mastermind about what it takes to create the future you want and listening to Dan Sullivan's 80% rule, I am sharing with you my take and calling it the 100/80 rule. Commit to this rule and you will end the two biggest sabotagers that plague entrepreneurs: perfectionism and procrastination.

When you look back over the year, did you accomplish all you set out to do?

Most likely, no. There were twists and turns you didn't anticipate and we always overestimate what is doable in a short period of time.

But, that doesn't mean you can't still make huge progress in 12 months like Ryan and Phillip did with Pup & The Pepper. 

I've watched them do really hard things, make investments and show up consistently in the 10X Mastermind and Fuel membership and it has had compounding effects to equal a really BIG leap in 2024!

You can listen and learn from them all about the highs and lows of the year and how they are getting ready for a next big leap in 2025 on this episode of the podcast.

Also, it was fun to listen to Ryan's first episode (#93) back in June of 2022 and compare it to where they are now - some things really changed!

Are you ready to make a BIG leap in 2025? Whether you're just getting started with a delicious idea, growing to $100K or scaling to the next level, today's podcast is for you. 

There is a certain amount of energy and investment required and it is ALWAYS more than you think - just talk with any founder! 

I share with you my own experiences in my business and working with 100s of food founders on how to accept the truth of Hofstadter's Law (things always take longer than you think, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law). 

To compensate for this, it is important to make investments that create a meaningful commitment and create real momentum to fast track your success.  

If you have been sitting on the sidelines listening to this podcast for a while now, it's time to get in the game 🥅👟 because that's when things really take off 🚀!

I’m sitting down with Susie Veech, founder of Well Rounded Meals, to have an honest, raw conversation about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. 

Susie shares the journey of "accidentally" starting a freezer meal delivery business that scaled to six figures, the challenges of declining sales in a different consumer landscape, and the tough decision to shut it all down.

But this isn’t a story of failure—it’s about resilience, learning, and redefining what success looks like. If you’ve ever wondered how to separate your self-worth from your business results or how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of being an entrepreneur, this episode is for you!
