Interested in the consulting you had done. I’m at this point in my business right now. I need to do something before it breaks me :homer:. Doing the work is the easy part. It’s the backend shit that suck at. Who did you use, do they have a website?

It is EOS worldwide. This system of running a business is great but not necessarily for a new business. I sent you a pm about it to not bog this thread down with that.
 
Speaking of spices and shit I hope I'm not the only one who gets a chuckle out of the name "McCormick" on my generic taco seasoning.

If I pay for this, do I get seasonings for free?
 
I would love to try yer dry rubs and pay yall fer it.

Just out of curiosity do you have any with no/low salt and no sugar. Some of us aint what we used to be and got high blood pressure and borderline diabetes.
 
Not to rain on your parade but It sounds high competition, low barriers to entry, and difficult to establish a meaningful competitive advantage/ product differentiation from the market.

I suspect it would take a lot of sales site visits and glad handing tours to promote your product line and awareness of what makes you special. That seems like a challenge to scale up beyond your local region without taking up all your free time and weekends.

A community kitchen/ shared commercial food manufacturing facility probably has a business incubator type community/ resource bank to tap for getting started and navigating usda etc, and I know some guys who have built big profit business from one of those spaces.

You may find the economics of owning your own equipment don’t make much sense until a certain volume, and that’s probably pretty high. Stay lean/ low overhead and survival is less challenging.

Farmers market, local fairs and BBQ competition seem like the way to go. Sell your BBQ and have stacks of rub for sale alongside.

Then you can add "winner xyz catagory" to your sales pitch :rasta:
 
If you have to ask for help on how to start a business...
 
cash everything
is you cant pay for it upfront, probably shouldn't buy it

I ran my little business that way, when times were bad I would shut the lights off, go do a Union gig, and when it was time turn the lights back on and resume. No overhead to worry about
 
Im down to buy a sampler pack depending on what you do. I do ok with store bought rubs but if i have something better i use it.
 
Guys, I appreciate the responses.

Been a roller coaster of a week. I came home to my door going from the garage into the house blown apart. Had some other family issues and might be loosing a good friend and mentor to multiple health issues.

There's a lot to dig through here and I'll try my best to respond.
 
I don't believe in PARTNERS and I don't believe in buying a job.

1. Partners never feel like the division is equal. One always feels like they are doing more (and often they are). I have seen VERY, VERY few successful partnerships. And I don't have the temperament to play well with others when it comes to MY money.

2. I can make $15.00 an hour working fast food with ZERO investment,, headaches, obligations, or commitments.
If I develop a business and I put in 30k plus my labor, and at the end I am making the same as I could make with zero investment and showing up to a menial job..... that's not a good use of time or resources and it is not sustainable to me. That's buying a job.
 
Starting a business can feel like a wild ride, but with the right prep, you’ll be golden! First off, do some serious homework on your market. Know who your customers are and what they want. It's like getting the lay of the land before you dive in.Also, consider the power of a well-crafted pitch deck design company. It’s your best tool to articulate your vision and engage others. A compelling design can truly make your ideas stand out! Explore resources that specialize in pitch deck design; they can help ensure your presentation is top-notch.Finally, don’t forget about networking. Connect with folks who have been through the grind. They can offer priceless advice and maybe even open some doors for you. Just take it one step at a time, and remember: every pro was once an amateur.
