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.

I got a notification from our Fuel members-only group this morning (literally) and I loved the topic so much I wanted to record a bonus episode to share with you all.  Lauren of Royall Cookie Co asked a question about how she should define success after her first pop-up. And I offered a response that most of you wouldn't have predicted. Listen in!

If you had a device that tracked how many times you said "I'll try" in a week, would that number be off the charts? Be honest with yourself.

When I give you a strategy or an action plan that give you your next steps exactly, do you hear yourself saying "seems like a good idea Sari, I'l try"? How is this "trying" working out for you? 

I just got back from my four day meditation retreat in Sedona, AZ and it was absolutely incredible. At the end there was the inevitable conversation with Master Daniel about how to incorporate the learnings from the weekend into our everyday lives. 

People in my group and then later I heard others in the welcome center responding with "I hope to...I'll try".

Does that instill confidence in you when you hear someone else say they will "try"? Not really. 

Tune in to today's podcast to hear what Master Daniel told us and why the word "try" is one word you may want to eliminate from your vocabulary. Start noticing, catch yourself  and replace it.

Yoda told us, "there is no try, there is only do and not do." Be like Yoda.

There is a reason many people don't go after their dreams including starting a business. It requires a ton of courage as you put yourself out there and risk rejection, judgement and the dreaded "no". In this episode I share with you my recent adventure that reminded me that courage never feels good and I offer some strategies that I gave a client recently as he was feeling the nerves come up about the launch of his business. 

I recommend micro-dosing acts of courage in less risky environments to help you build up the muscle of doing hard things and I give you some examples of things to try. I recommend forcing yourself to do a small, but brave, bold thing every day. Do that enough times and you will blow your own mind with what else you can do when the stakes are higher.

It is easy in theory to know you will have to do hard things and have failures to launch or grow your food business, but in reality it is something we resist and avoid. My guest today, the amazing Judith Gaton, and I talk about putting on your cape to unleash the superhero within who gets hard things done. We also dive into how your clothing and environmental style can have a huge effect on your confidence and putting yourself out there to make offers.

This is an area that is often surprising to entrepreneurs, but some small changes can create massive shifts in your success.

I love September for the reset it offers us to get back into routines and recommit to our big goals for the end of the year.  Life has happened over the last 8 months  (all the shoulds and shouldn'ts that we didn't plan for) and summer usually is a little more relaxed and flexible. Don't beat yourself up if you aren't on "track" to achieve your year end goal. Take inventory and look at the facts. Then make a plan.

If you want help to create and execute the plan with industry connections, mindset coaching, support and accountability, now is the time to join Food Business Success. The Achieve Your 2022 Goal program starts September 13th. It is never too late to go after a big goal - it is not the time to throw in the towel or give up. No! Now is the time to dig deep, commit, find a coach and a team and take action!

"I shouldn't be here." How often do you utter a phrase that includes "should" or "shouldn't" about your business (or life)?

It should be this way and not that way. It shouldn't be taking so long and on and on and on.

The "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" are two of the most toxic words you can say to sabotage your business and slow you down as an entrepreneur. 

On the two year anniversary of the podcast I share with you some strategies I use to help my clients take back their power and do more in the world by stamping out those two words.  

After you listen, head over to the private Facebook group and share one place in your business that you have felt the "shoulds" and your commitment to moving past it to solve the problem.

Whether you know it or not, Justin Gold of Justin's Nut Butter helped pave the way for you to start your packaged food business and launch into stores with much more ease and faster. When I was at Whole Foods Market I regularly featured Justin as the poster child of local brand success in my store. 

I thought it would be so fun to interview him and have him share about his early days as a foodpreneuer starting out when no stores were really featuring "local" like they do now.  My goal is to help you realize that your business will require patience and investment of time and money on your part. I want this to be a reminder that you are not entitled for your business to be easy, but if you never give up, you will get there; wherever "there" is for you.
