With a foreword by Steve Blank. Aspiring entrepreneurs are told that to launch a business, you must go all in, devoting every resource and moment to making it work. But following this advice comes at an enormous personal cost: divorce, addiction, even suicide. It means sacrificing the intangibles that make life worth living. Sheryl O’Loughlin knows there is a better way. In Killing It, she shares the wisdom she’s gained from her successful experiences launching a company from the ground up (Plum), running two fast-growing companies (Clif Bar and REBBL), and mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs (Stanford University). She tells it like it is: If you don’t invest in your wellbeing, your business will not succeed, nor will you. Sheryl knows firsthand the difficulty of balancing the needs of her growing family with her physical and mental health, while managing other work and life challenges. In this warm, honest, and wise handbook, she gives you the essentials for killing it in business—without killing the rest of your life. Filled with real-life examples and anecdotes, Killing It addresses common questions including: How do you prepare your significant other for your business venture? How do you time launching and growing your business with the ebb and flow of family life? How do you find joy in the day-to-day? How do you maintain meaningful, supportive friendships? How do you walk away and start again? The ultimate life and business course, Killing It gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to start their enterprise and thrive—both in the office and at home.

Download or read book The Food Business ToolKit for Entrepreneurs How to Research Develop and Produce a New Food Product written by Rachel Zemser and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black & White Interior Version ! Wondering how to turn your great fresh or packaged food product idea into a successful business? Planning is one thing, but the food science laboratory development work is where you "do or die." The technical part of the food industry is mysterious for a reason. Most food scientists work directly for food companies, and the technical knowledge is proprietary and is not typically shared! However, with the recent surge of entrepreneur start-up food companies, the technical science basics must be shared in order to ensure we continue to have an efficient and safe food supply. As a food scientist and food product developer consultant I have helped many aspiring food entrepreneurs and start up food companies understand these technical steps and moving parts needed to bring an idea from kitchen to commercialization. The Food Business Tool Kit brings you my many years of hands-on experience with: ✓Sourcing Ingredients from reliable suppliers ✓Finding co-manufacturers/co-packers ✓Creating food prototypes using weights and percentages (not tables and teaspoons!) ✓Scaling up so a co packer can easily understand how to manufacture your product ✓Understanding when you may have to compromise your idea in order to ensure you are delivering a safe product to the consumer. ✓Avoiding food safety disasters like microbial growth! The Food Business Tool Kit guides entrepreneurs through the confusing technical issues of formulating your commercial recipe, which is very different from the recipe you are making at home. This book is not about business plans or marketing (there are lots of other resources for that!) This book gets into the nitty gritty, hard to find information related to government regulations, food safety, shelf life testing, how to create a 'formula", and making sure your product can last in a package on the shelf or supermarket refrigerator. It is not possible to find all the information in this book online. Most of it comes directly from my 25 years of experience working in the food industry for large companies like Unilever and Kraft Foods to smaller start-ups that made it big like Plum Organics and Chosen Foods. I am happy to share this information with you in an organized step by step process.

Download or read book You Can Farm written by Joel Salatin and published by POLYFACE. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers. But for farm entrepreneurs, the opportunities for a farm family business have never been greater. The aging farm population is creating cavernous niches begging to be filled by creative visionaries who will go in dynamic new directions. As the industrial agriculture complex crumbles and our culture clambers for clean food, the countryside beckons anew with profitable farming opportunities. While this book can be helpful to all farmers, it targets the wannabes, the folks who actually entertain notions of living, loving and learning on a piece of land. Anyone willing to dance with such a dream should be able to assess its assets and liabilities; its fantasies and realities. "Is it really possible for me?" is the burning question this book addresses.
