    Is my supplement business a failing project?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    I think this is about the 6th or so post I've made here in the past 2 years. Admittedly, I haven't been apart of this community as much as I should be, I've been making posts, seeing replies to learn, then going off and trying to apply said things. Now for where I'm at in my business. I'm 22...

    How to Choose Which Marketing Channel for Protein Biz?

    MARKETING 
    For context, I've been slowly building up a clear protein powder brand since late last year, and I'm now at a point where I've sold out my first batch of 24 through warm outreach (likely most friends/family who just want to show they support the idea). I am selling via Shopify, and my ICP is...

    How would you go about deciding which company to purchase product liability insurance through?

    QUESTION 
    Back in January, I posted here before I even had a product. Now I do. My protein powder is sourced across the US and is sitting in my apartment. The only thing standing between me and the start of marketing is product liability insurance. I’ve gotten two quotes. One is $2,200/year from a...

    Decision to White Label or Private Label my Protein Powder

    SOURCING 
    So for context, I posted on here several times over 2024 talking about (ideas) I've had for protein-related businesses and how I could best execute them. Those were ideas; now it's a business. I'm building up a clear & healthy protein powder company in the U.S. I have been working with a...

    What options could I have for funding my Protein Powder Startup MOQ?

    SCALING 
    I've been gathering valuable feedback from potential customers about my protein powder mass gainer concept. To put it simply, I'm working on a product that provides ~500 calories with 25g of protein per serving. The key differentiator is that I offer higher-quality carbohydrates compared to most...

    How big of a data size should I get for product validation?

    IDEA 
    So I recently made posts here some months ago about my business idea of a protein subscription box. I've since scrapped that after 6 months of working to make the box. In the comments of that post, a user recommended that I try out Pat Flynn's "Will it Fly?" book (a great book). After reading...

    What advice can you give me after my failed business?

    EXECUTION 
    I've posted a couple of times, all on the same business model. The infamous "protein box" some of you might recognize. I'll provide context then ask if anyone has any advice or tips I should know going into my next venture. In other words, I need brutally honest business advice. Context: I...

    How Niche is TOO Niche?

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Yes, I have continuously posted new topics and threads about my business troubles on this forum, but do you know what? Whether good or bad, each response has given me one more data point to go off of. Part of me doesn't want to post here all the time because my ego tells me to just "do it...

    I've Hit a Plateau in how to Market my Subscription Box

    FEEDBACK 
    Some months ago, I made a post on here about how I should go about the legalities and process of a business plan. I got great feedback that helped me kickstart the idea into an actual business. I've started up a monthly subscription protein-supplement box business; it's six different...

    How Necessary is a Business Plan, Really?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    I am amidst the process of forming my first ever business legally and am stuck. I've read all Demarco's books and I've read and agreed with the times where he would not advocate for business plans saying that they're a waste of time and what not. But being a college student who has $400 to their...

    How can I know when an idea is too far fetched?

    FEEDBACK 
    A few days ago, I posted on this forum about a website idea I had that after doing the market research and digging, felt that it could be a real good path into the beginning of my true fastlane journey. But after some thinking and helpful advice from others on the forum, I realize that this idea...
