Starting a small business is a challenging endeavor, and when it comes to diving into the world of packaged food entrepreneurship, the complexities business planning, and product development can feel overwhelming. However, there’s good news on the horizon! We’re excited to announce the return of our food business-focused workshops, now available in a convenient virtual format that allows you to access them anytime and anywhere.

Why These Workshops Matter

Whether you’re still in the ideation phase or have already taken the first steps but now find yourself overwhelmed and unsure about where to go next, our workshop series is designed to provide you with a strong foundation as you embark on your Consumer Packaged Good (CPG) food business journey. In this blog post, we’ll explore why these workshops matter and how they can benefit aspiring food business entrepreneurs like you.

1. Crafting a Solid Business Plan

A well-crafted business plan serves as the roadmap to your entrepreneurial success. It outlines your goals, strategies, and the steps you need to take to turn your food business dream into reality. Our Creating a One-Page business plan workshop will guide you in creating a page business plan that is not only concise but also practical and actionable. This tool will serve as an invaluable resource as you grow your business from concept to fruition.

2. Defining Your Value Proposition

In the competitive world of food entrepreneurship, knowing your unique value proposition is key to standing out. Our Defining Your Value Proposition workshop will help you discover and articulate what sets your business apart. You’ll leave with the confidence to pitch your food business, develop your product, and uncover your “why” – essential elements for attracting customers and investors.

The beauty of our workshop series lies in its virtual format. You can access these workshops anytime and anywhere, allowing you to tailor your learning experience to your schedule and preferences. Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, you can dive into the materials at your convenience. While we recommend taking both workshops for maximum impact, you have the flexibility to select the one(s) that align with your unique needs. If you’re new to the food business world, you might want to start with the Defining Your Value Proposition workshop. If you already have a plan in motion but need to refine your strategy, Crafting a One-Page Business Plan could be your starting point.
