For Food Entrepreneurs: A Course From the Food Craft Institute

I'll be participating in this course on the food business. I wish this was around when I got started. I've made a lot of mistakes and you can learn from them. I do hear a lot of people say they want to do something like this but I've discovered over the years it's one thing to complain about your job or to be full of good ideas and it's another thing to be a real entrpreneur and make it on your own. It's scary and it's intimidating. What's worse is most of the "help" out there is either for a franchise (ZZzzz.......) or for tech start ups that expect to make millions of dollars when they go public or are bought out by Google. Where do you go for help if you want to make fig jam?

If you are ready, there is help.
