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.

Are you letting fear, discouragement, frustration, self-pity, lack of motivation, confusion and anxiety get in the way of the outcome you want in your food business? These pesky emotions slow you WAY down. 

This is part one of a two part series on creating better outcomes, ie: faster, easier and more profitable. Today's episode is addressing our emotions first so we can actually start the work of problem solving. This has to come first. And I share my experience of anxiety as well as tools and strategies I presented in the Hard Times Ahead call to help you feel better.

Remember when you were a kid and you put on that cape or crown and you became a real superhero. You could (a probably did) things that you wouldn't normally do as the "real" you, but somehow that article of clothing transformed you. 

In today's episode, I am sharing more about how to use an alter ego to step into the version of a business owner you need to be. Anytime you are required to do something outside of your comfort zone, use this tool and you will be amazed at what you are capable of! Thank you to Todd Herman's and his book The Alter Ego Effect.

Any of this sound familiar? You spend time and money to do your first run at your kitchen or with a copacker. You attend your first farmers market, pop up or trade show or get in front of that buyer for that pitch. And while you show up as your best self, something happens and it is a total "fail". The equipment breaks, the formula doesn't work scaled up, not much traffic or it is a no from the buyer. 

Yes, we know success is built on a pile of failures...ya, ya, ya. But when you are IN it, it SUCKS.

This recently happened to me after my Hard Times Ahead zoom link didn't work in the very last reminder email. I made a follow up video in the moment to model how to process the embarrassment, rejection, disappointment (fill in your own emotion) and how to make meaning from the experience to move forward quickly like a boss.  I share the learnings on today's podcast.

This is one of those episodes that will leave you different than when you started if you let it. You may be wondering why I interviewed the amazing Kathy Zhang, a palliative care physician and life coach to help you with your packaged food business.

Honestly, this conversation couldn't have come at a BETTER time as we are all facing more uncertainty and anxiety about our businesses in the face of inflation. Having a purpose filter is MOST important when we are in challenge and hard times. Take some time with us to dial in your own filter.

Whether it is about rising costs or how you are not following through and sabotaging yourself, having a come to truth moment about where you are at is the first step to actually being able to solve for it. I want you to reach your impossible goal - or come a lot closer than you thought possible.

Until you know what the issue really is, you will spin out trying to solve it. Just like a doctor gets all the facts (the good, bad and ugly) before she makes a diagnosis with treatment, we have to be willing to tell ourselves the truth about where we are in our business and what is sabotaging us so that we can implement solutions.
