Not getting the results you want in your business? It may be time to check your beliefs before you take any action. Are you coming from a belief that supports your goals and dreams or from a place that says you "always mess it up" or "it's too hard or too expensive".

This week's episode is all about creating a belief plan first BEFORE taking any action. I share my belief plan and give you ideas for what might be in yours.

After you listen, head over to the private FBS facebook group and share one of your negative beliefs and how you will reword it going forward.

What if you took a completely different approach this year to get closer to your impossible goal?  Instead of trying to avoid failure, you actually leaned into it and did it on PURPOSE?!

I know...sounds crazy, but it works! And there are huge benefits that come from getting better at failing. This week's podcast is the third in the series on your Impossible Goal and you don't want to miss it!

Grab the Impossible Goal worksheet at https://www.foodbizsuccess.com/impossible

Head over to the private Facebook group and share one or several worthy fail attempts you will make in the next quarter.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

~Theodore Roosevelt

What does it actually mean to go after your impossible goal?

By his own admission, Christopher, founder of Vukoo Nutrition,  shouldn't even be here after a near death experience, let alone a be a successful packaged food founder.  He was a food industry nubie going into the very competitive bar category AND it was a refrigerated bar, so people weren't even looking for it.

Our interview is a deep dive into what it really takes to launch a product into retail and online. We talk about the many failures and what it takes to be a self-funded successful brand in today's environment.

I will definitely have him back to talk more about his co-packing adventures as well as his inventory and traceability software he is launching soon (https://vukoocpg.app).

I offer all of my clients the 80% rule and I give them permission to put it into action. Learn more about this and three ideas you can put into action to get more done and achieve your goals!
