Chocpreneur looking for inspiration

[Vigilante]

Thankyou, that is awesome, just downloaded Jab Jab Jab Right Hook today, looking forward to it. Sure, our website is www.thechocolateyogi.com.au - we make vegan chocolate which is very high quality, healthy and quirky. We also support awesome charities such as Sea Shepherd with part of the proceeds from all of our bars. You are spurring me on to set up international shipping, which I have been procrastinating on, I will set it up this weekend and let you know my progress with it! Thanks for the encouragement

I was reading this thread with interest, and then you posted that you donate to Sea Shepherd. Now I must buy your chocolate.Post back here when you are ready to ship to the United States.

Wow, this is really boosting my confidence in our product, thanks . Sea Shepherd are so awesome. We are aiming to raise $25,000 for them this year. Will let you know when I have it up and running, we have 3PL in place, just need to get the website doing its thing.

Chocopreneur! I love it!

I have a cousin in Sydney, but she's in the process of moving back to Hawaii where she's from. I'll hit her up on Facebook so maybe she can try your chocolate before she heads home.

As for books, I'm digging into some sales classics. You can't go wrong with the ones that have stood the test of time. I've read Dale Carnegie (how to win friends and influence people) five or six times in my life. Corny title, gold content. I just finished "how I raised myself from failure to success in sales" which is another 1920s sales classic. Also listening to Tony Robins in the car. I bought his sales course, which I haven't dug into yet, and got a shorter program of his (drawing a blank on the title) which is what I'm listening to now. Robin's work is current but he's been around long enough that I consider it to be "classic" sales and improvement genre. Anyway, don't over look some of the older books. Some content is dated, much is still relevant. That's why from time to time I go on a kick of digging up the fossils.

Hi Azure, we make all our chocolate from scratch - we stonegrind it from the bean to the bar. Lovely to meet other chocolate entrepreneurs on here. So you distribute the above brands?

We distribute Callebault, yes. Where do you source your beans from - I've heard some nasty stories about Cocoa bean fraud, has that ever been an issue? Do you use mostly single origin or do you blend?
